Matternet, a drone logistics platform development, has announced a new Matternet Station.The Matternet Station embodies the company's vision, a distributed P2P drone logistics network for urban environments.
Matternet Station is integrated with Matternet's autonomous M2 drone and cloud platforms, and provides intuitive user interfaces for delivering and receiving medical payloads and a safe and secure drone portal for hospitals.。
Matternet has promoted the future of the autonomous aviation system, enabling automatic drones to use hospitals and their supplied partners' labs and pharmacy operations.The Matternet Station first launches services on Switzerland and US medical systems.
Since 2017, the company has provided services on medical systems around the world, and has been replaced by late and expensive on -demand delivery services.The hospital has been able to use safe, high -speed and predictable drones for blood diagnosis, pathological specimens, and the movement of pharmaceuticals between facilities and suppliers.
Matternet's CEO and Andreas Raptopoulos commented:
Our vision is to link all medical facilities in all metropolitan areas to the fastest transportation you can currently use.We are building a very high -speed technical platform to provide P2P urban medicine.This allows hospitals to save millions of dollars a year by reducing patients' waiting time and concentrating their laboratory and medical inventory.
Matternet Station is a very important product in realizing this vision.
Currently, Matternet, which is currently developing M2 drones and cloud platforms in cooperation with the FAA, has designed Matternet Station as an aeronautic asset.The Matternet Station is connected to the Matternet Cloud Platform and provides a function to monitor operations such as inspection of vehicles and confirmation of airspace before takeoff to the flight director at the remote Matternet Mission Control Center.
Each Matternet Station comes with a unique automatic air collision avoidance system that manages the traffic of unmanned vehicles on the product.
The characteristic design Matternet Station has a small installation area and can be installed on the roof on the ground.The height is about 3 meters, and the drone is kept high from the ground so that it does not impair safety when installed in a public area.
The Matternet Station is equipped with a technology to accurately land the M2 drone on the platform.
After landing, the Matternet Station locks the drone to a predetermined position and automatically replaces the battery and payload.The drone is stored in the hangar on the Matternet Station when not in use.
The Matternet Station uses an integrated authentication system, allowing only the permitted person in charge to scan the hospital ID and deposit or get the payload.
Peyload is tracked in all touch points and continuously maintains a powerful management system.In the standard configuration, the Matternet Station can hold four payload boxes.These boxes are controlled to ensure the completeness of the sample.
MD, Dr. Wakemed Ent, Medical Director of Wakemed Innovations, former private airline pilot Stuart Ginn commented:
Since the launch of a drone program by partnership between Matternet and UPS, it has been proved that the transportation of medical specimens has become very efficient, and as a result of more prompt and predictable delivery, the benefits for patients.It has already been confirmed that it was.
We look forward to the integration of Matternet Station with other extensions of networks, including new transport routes, so that we can connect with additional equipment in our system.
Since Matternet's system can be used as a hospital system for annual subscription models, hospitals will satisfy the need for on -demand and regular delivery with much higher predictions of a few minutes of courier service.be able to.Matternet's technology is now available in US hospitals in the United States, which are currently affiliated with UPS and Swiss posts.
