When all traffic is stopped for a life-saving delivery 🚑🚨 In emergencies, every second counts. Around the world, essential goods - from industrial supplies and emergency relief to urgently needed medical items - often face delays due to traffic, infrastructure gaps, and topographical barriers. This can lead to tragic losses or to dramatic downtimes and outages. 🇧🇷 A remarkable recent example from Brazil underscores this challenge. In Rio de Janeiro, police halted the Linha Vermelha expressway to ensure a liver donation could reach a hospital in time. Without a helipad, ground transport was the only option, and the delay due to Rio’s traffic could have meant the difference between life and death. 📊 This scenario highlights a stark reality: even the world’s most advanced systems, such as the U.S. organ transport network, still struggle, with 5-10% of organ transplants compromised by logistical issues. ✈️ While the organ transport is just one example out of many, the point is clear: Delivery drones can play a crucial role in simplifying logistics and in overcoming logistical challenges to deliver mission-critical supplies. They reduce the dependence on road networks plagued by traffic jams or other barriers – all while being a much more sustainable alternative to ground-based transport or shipment by plane or helicopter. #Wingcopter #DroneDelivery #LogisticsInnovation #LifeSavingTechnology #FutureOfLogistics #HealthcareTransformation #OrganTransport #MedicalLogistics #Drones4Good #OrganTransplant

“Together, we thrive” truly resonated as this year’s motto at the UPS Healthcare Forum in Budapest, Hungary. The Forum is an inspiring event that brings together visionaries and trailblazers from healthcare, life sciences, and supply chain logistics. Our Chief Revenue Officer Armando Koerig Gessinger and Head of Experience Joerg Scheuerpflug experienced insightful discussions about new ways of delivering innovative, quality solutions for patients, for example precision logistics for advanced therapies (Doaa Fathallah & Dan Bell from Marken) or the power of Public-Private Partnerships to achieve equitable health (Caroline Wanjiru Kiunga, Ben Safari, Bertrand Pedersen, Amira Ghouaibi). It was also fascinating to learn about all the forces that have an impact on individual health and healthcare systems by Daniel Gagnon and to dive deeper into the challenges of delivering healthcare supplies just in time on a massive scale by Felipe Morgulis. Thank you, UPS Healthcare, for the invitation and the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations on how to improve access to health through our delivery drones. The Forum was truly a hub for innovation, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. We’re looking forward to further productive discussions and to thriving together.

Beyond drones: How we're committed to sustainability in every journey At Wingcopter, we believe that sustainability is more than just a goal – it’s a responsibility. With our all-electric delivery drones, we can offset a significant portion of the CO2 emissions from ground-based transportation, helping the logistics industry on its path to net-zero. But we know it takes more than innovative products to drive meaningful change. 🚲 That’s why we proudly joined the CITY CYCLING initiative in our municipal (Weiterstadt), where 11 of our colleagues pledged to cycling as many daily journeys as possible over a 21-day period. This challenge not only encouraged environmentally friendly commuting but also aimed to highlight the needs of cyclists and promote better local cycling infrastructure. 📊 The result? Together with other teams from Weiterstadt, a total of 73,510 kilometers were cycled, avoiding an equivalent of 12 tons of CO2! What an achievement! 🌳 At Wingcopter, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we act on it. From corporate bike leasing to free electric vehicle charging at the office, we are committed to creating a cleaner, greener future in every way we can. #Wingcopter #Sustainability #CityCycling #Cycling #DroneDelivery #Logistics #SustainableLogistics #Teamspirit Thanks to our cyclists Corinna, Thomas, Konstantin, Philipp, Patrick, Paul, Eike, Esma, Andreas, Kevin and Miguel.
