Blueflite Secures Sales Option of 40 Medical Delivery Drones From Spright

Blue­flite announced this week a sales option from Spright, a lead­ing U.S drone ser­vices provider, of 40 of its med­ical deliv­ery drones, reports a press release. An ini­tial four craft will be deliv­ered over the com­ing months.

Spright aims to inte­grate Blueflite’s “cloud-based drone oper­a­tions and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty tool” into their fleet and oper­ate the company’s craft across the globe “to pro­vide time­ly access to crit­i­cal med­ical resources, extend­ing care to those in need.”

Joe Resnik, Pres­i­dent of Spright, com­ment­ed, “We chose Blue­flite because of their advanced drone tech and dig­i­tal inte­gra­tion. Our require­ments to pro­vide drone-enabled med­ical logis­tics ser­vices great­ly ben­e­fits from a one-stop solu­tion, like the Blue­flite plat­form, to enable end-to-end automa­tion, data ser­vices, and full inte­gra­tion with exist­ing sys­tems.”

The release states, “Designed specif­i­cal­ly for logis­tics’ mis­sions, Blueflite’s patent­ed drone plat­form offers many advan­tages for Spright’s mis­sion pro­file. The unique hard­ware design, fea­tures vec­tored thrust allow­ing for com­plex flight mis­sion pro­files and oper­at­ing in chal­leng­ing envi­ron­ments. Addi­tion­al­ly, the plat­form fea­tures an enclosed pay­load bay with mul­ti­ple access points to pro­tect sen­si­tive car­go like med­i­cine, spec­i­mens, and life-sav­ing med­ical sup­plies, and to enable end-to-end automa­tion across the deliv­ery cycle.”

James McClearen, Blue­flite co-Founder and CTO, remarked, “Our drone was designed specif­i­cal­ly for logis­tics mis­sions. Through years of research and devel­op­ment efforts, every detail of the Blue­flite plat­form has been designed to enable drone oper­a­tors to max­imise effi­cien­cy, min­imise down­time, and oper­ate in com­plex and chal­leng­ing envi­ron­ments by pro­vid­ing them with the most advanced tech­nol­o­gy.” Blue­flite is to deliv­er the first drones over the com­ing months and will then begin the inte­gra­tion of its cloud-based dig­i­tal plat­form into Spright’s fleet.
