TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone solutions and enterprise SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions, today announced that its subsidiary, ZenaDrone, is launching its IQ Nano product, part of the IQ series of indoor/outdoor drones. The IQ Nano is designed for customers in sectors such as warehousing and logistics to save costs and improve productivity while performing indoor inspection, monitoring and tracking processes including inventory management.
The ZenaDrone IQ Nano is a 10×10-inch drone designed to perform regular and frequent inspections for applications such as bar code or RFID scanning, facility maintenance inspections, security monitoring, and 3D mapping specific to the needs of companies with warehouse, distribution, plants and industrial facilities. It is designed for autonomous use featuring integrated sensors, high-quality cameras and data collection. Weighing 1.5kg and with a flight time of up to 20 minutes before utilizing the automatic battery charging station, it is designed for hovering stability and for safety with obstacle avoidance capabilities.
“The IQ Nano is breakthrough technology that will eliminate dull and repetitive tasks for warehouse and logistics customers, saving them significant time and money while conducting inspection, maintenance, security and inventory monitoring tasks inside their facilities,” said CEO Dr. Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “The IQ Nano incorporates our own indoor global positioning system (GPS), similar to the space-based radio-navigation GPS utility, enabling safety and obstacle avoidance indoors.”
