Drones are likely to transform shopping behavior, reduce travel time, and save lives. The six facilities combined will deliver to hospitals serving over 20 million people.ĪRK Invest, a management firm that invests in breakthrough technologies, believes that in the not-too-distant future drones will deliver packages, food, and even people quicker and more conveniently than ever before. It also has launched four new bases in Ghana. Since its founding in 2014, Zipline has gone from one base serving half of Rwanda to two bases serving the whole country. Zipline currently operates in Rwanda and Ghana. Zipline’s goal, says co-founder and CEO Keller Rinaudo, is to put every person on Earth within a 15- to 30-minute delivery radius of any essential medical product they need, no matter where they live. Zipline safely stores medical products at its Distribution Center, enabling immediate access to even the most sensitive or scarce items. The box is attached to a small parachute that the drone then gently drops at the hospital or clinic. Health workers at remote clinics and hospitals text an order with Zipline for the medical products they need, on-demand. It can carry vaccines, medicine, or blood. Zipline created Zip, a small autonomous airplane designed for a high level of safety, using many of the same approaches as commercial airliners. Zipline drones have flown more than 8 million autonomous miles, delivered more than 1.5 million vaccine doses, units of blood, and other critical medications and made drops at more than 2,500 facilities serving 25 million people. Zipline was founded in 2014 in Silicon Valley, US. It has developed the first autonomous delivery system delivering vital medical supplies and operating at a national scale with revenue. Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates drones to deliver vital medical products to everyone, no matter where they live.
