ideaForge and HCL Technologies to showcase AI-powered drone solutions at the 2019 World Economic Forum
ideaForge, a leading provider of Unmanned Aerial Systems, today announced that HCL Technologies, a leading global technology company, will provide its DRYiCETM AIOPS Platform for ideaForge’s state-of-the-art drones. HCL will enable procedures for ideaForge’s devices to provide zero-touch automation of tasks and processes that will allow users to setup a Drone command center and provide remote drone Ops. With this predictive technology, the drone solutions will be able to send real-time updates on the number of deployments possible in a single battery charge as well inform on external factors while the drone is in flight.
“Extending the enterprise proven AIOPS platform into Drones Management is a powerful means to augment the automation of the entire stack,” said Kalyan Kumar, Corporate Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, HCL Technologies. “In the case of drones, AIOPS allows a level of predictive analytics and other functional data that substantially enhances the drone’s capabilities, and HCL is pleased to be partnering on this development.”
