UPS, partnered with Matternet, just moved crucial medical supplies via drone in WakeMed Raleigh's medical campus.
Moving medical samples around WakeMed Raleigh's sprawling medical campus can sometimes take up to 30 minutes in traffic. That can be challenging when the material being moved is life-saving specimen like blood or organ samples.UPS, in collaboration with drone technology company Matternet, made its first revenue-generating delivery of medical samples at WakeMed Raleigh on Tuesday. The Federal Aviation Administration and North Carolina Department of Transportation provided oversight.
UPS will make fewer than 10 drone deliveries per day around WakeMed, but that has potential to scale up.It's the first time we've seen drones actually make money in the US, rather than just act as one-time PR stunts or tests.
