Compared with jumbo airports, the smart UAV hangars of the Guangdong Cheng Jin Technology company are just micro editions. Only a space of 1 or 2 square meters on the rooftop can help realize the flying dreams.

Since August 2023, Cheng Jin Technology has set up over 70 hangars in Zhongshan, covering all towns and sub-districts. It has also actively explored a new patrol mode combining smart UAV hangers, high-altitude monitoring and low-altitude unmanned data management.

"In the future, UAVs can be utilized at closer proximity and in a more convenient manner to implement superior aerial inspection, real-time filming, air express delivery and more," said Zhu Shibing, chairman of Cheng Jin Technology.
