About

About IQ Nano

IQ Nano is ZenaDrone's compact autonomous drone for indoor inventory, asset tracking, maintenance checks and security scanning. The platform is designed to navigate facilities where small size and operation away from outdoor GNSS coverage are important.

Its commercial role is indoor data capture, distinct from ZenaDrone's larger outdoor aircraft. Mission performance depends on the sensor package, facility layout, autonomy configuration and operating approval.
