ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) has announced the launch of its latest innovation in drone technology, the IQ Nano, through its subsidiary ZenaDrone. This compact 10x10-inch drone is specifically designed for indoor use in warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities, promising to transform how businesses conduct inspections, monitor inventory, and maintain security.
The IQ Nano is part of ZenaDrone's IQ series of indoor/outdoor drones and is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by the warehousing and logistics sectors. With a flight time of up to 20 minutes and weighing just 1.5kg, the drone is equipped with advanced features including integrated sensors, high-quality cameras, and data collection capabilities. Its autonomous operation and obstacle avoidance technology make it particularly suitable for repetitive tasks in confined spaces.
Dr. Shaun Passley, CEO of ZenaTech, emphasized the drone's potential to eliminate mundane tasks and significantly reduce operational costs for warehouse and logistics customers. The IQ Nano's indoor GPS system, similar to space-based radio-navigation GPS, ensures safe navigation within facilities, a crucial feature for indoor operations where traditional GPS may not function.
Key features of the IQ Nano include a cordless charging pad for easy maintenance of multiple units, a tethered cable option for extended flight times and real-time data transmission, and an intelligent battery system. The drone's carbon-fiber shell and propeller guards enhance durability, while its retractable landing gear improves maneuverability in tight spaces.
This launch represents a significant step forward in the application of drone technology for industrial use. By automating inspection and monitoring processes, the IQ Nano has the potential to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and enhance safety in warehouse and logistics operations. As businesses continue to seek ways to optimize their operations and reduce costs, innovations like the IQ Nano could play a crucial role in shaping the future of industrial automation and inventory management.
