Skyward-Parrot Partnership Brings Integration and Training for the ANAFI USA

Skyward and Parrot announce partnership to deliver Parrot ANAFI drones and Skyward drone program management

Today, Skyward, A Verizon company, and Parrot, the leading European drone group, announced their partnership to deliver Parrot ANAFI drones along with Skyward drone program management, flight log sync, and training to U.S. enterprises. In particular, the new ANAFI USA drone speaks to a widespread need among U.S. companies and public agencies for a secure, high-end drone manufactured domestically. Sold by Skyward, the ANAFI USA and training package gives enterprises a one-stop shop for building and scaling a drone program with aircraft, policies and procedures, training, and automatic flight log sync to the software platform to manage it all.


"ANAFI USA was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professional users while offering enterprise data security and privacy," said Henri Seydoux, founder and CEO of Parrot. "Now, combined with Skyward's enterprise drone solutions covering training and integrated software platforms, professional users have access to one of the most comprehensive suites of hardware, software, and services."

In addition to its security benefits, Parrot's ANAFI USA features an industry-first 32x zoom, 4K HDR video, and thermal imaging capabilities. It's ultraportable, weather-resistant, and ready to launch in 55 seconds.

"Now enterprises can maximize their investment in the ANAFI USA by pairing it with Skyward's in-person and online operator training and robust management platform," said Mariah Scott, President of Skyward, A Verizon company. "This is just the beginning of a strong partnership with Parrot. Look for continued feature integration and connectivity offerings as we move the industry forward together."

Skyward users can automatically log flights from the Parrot FreeFlight 6 piloting application for the ANAFI, ANAFI Thermal, and ANAFI USA drones with additional integration features coming soon to maximize the value of both platforms.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
