Connected UAV Drone Platform by Indeema

Indeema Software is an engineering services company specializing in custom IoT solutions, combining deep expertise in both hardware and software. Indeema delivers end-to-end development that transforms connected hardware into intelligent systems - helping companies accelerate innovation and bring smart, cloud-enabled products to life. The Connected UAV Drone Platform by Indeema is architected on a lightweight firmware stack, designed to securely connect drones to the AWS cloud through Avnet’s /IOTCONNECT™. /IOTCONNECT’s foundation is built on AWS services such as AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Greengrass, Amazon Kinesis, and more that make it a powerful, scalable solution accelerator commercially validated by AWS. When combined with the UAV platform, this enables drones to have near real-time data transfer, mission telemetry tracking, and performance monitoring - all accessible through a centralized dashboard. It also supports secure command and control, allowing operators to send instructions from the dashboard to the drone. The platform simplifies the development of cloud-connected UAVs for applications such as monitoring agriculture fields, building infrastructure inspection, and remote object tracking. Businesses benefit from reduced development time, lower integration costs, and immediate access to actionable insights from aerial data. The firmware solution is designed for a custom Indeema drone IoT board, featuring a serial interface to the drone’s flight controller, however, thanks to its small footprint, the firmware is also portable to a variety of popular SoC-based, off-the-shelf Wi-Fi modules. Key features include: Simplified drone connectivity: Quickly connect drones of varying hardware types to the cloud with streamlined, optimized firmware and SDKs - removing integration hurdles. Real-time mission data tracking: Monitor flights, payload data, and telemetry live to enable faster decision-making and operational efficiency. Flexible hardware compatibility: Support for diverse drone configurations ensures seamless scaling across fleets with mixed models and manufacturers. Broad application support: Power use cases from precision agriculture to building inspections with adaptable tools designed for industry-specific needs.
