“Wingcopter, Sincronía Logística to deliver medical supplies by drone Around Mexico”

Ger­many-based drone com­pa­ny, Wing­copter, and Sin­cronía Logís­ti­ca, a Mex­i­can mar­ket leader in phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal logis­tics, announced a col­lab­o­ra­tion this week to pro­mote the use of drones for the deliv­ery of med­ical sup­plies, reports a press release. The Mex­i­can com­pa­ny plans to deploy a fleet of Wing­copter 198 drones for its cus­tomers.

These deliv­er­ies will bypass the country’s, at times, chal­leng­ing ter­rain and infra­struc­ture lim­i­ta­tions, com­ple­ment­ing Sin­cronía Logística’s cur­rent high-val­ue phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and med­ical logis­tics ser­vices.

The release states, “Fol­low­ing a suc­cess­ful flight demo for the Cruz Roja Mex­i­cana Queré­taro (the Mex­i­can Red Cross’ divi­sion in the state of Queré­taro) in August, reg­u­lar drone-based deliv­ery oper­a­tions with the Red Cross are planned to start at the end of the year. Ini­tial­ly, med­i­cine and med­ical equip­ment for para­medics and first respon­ders will be trans­port­ed over a dis­tance of 8 kilo­me­tres, allow­ing much faster access to hard-to-reach areas.”

Arman­do Koerig Gessinger, Wingcopter’s Chief Rev­enue Offi­cer, com­ment­ed,  “Sin­cronía Logís­ti­ca has the resources and abil­i­ty to scale the use of our Unmanned Aer­i­al Sys­tem across Mex­i­co over the com­ing years. The com­pa­ny already has expe­ri­ence in deploy­ing var­i­ous robot­ics sys­tems for their ware­hous­es and are lead­ers in their sec­tor.”

Diego Gar­cia, Direc­tor of Busi­ness Excel­lence at Sin­cronía Logís­ti­ca, remarked, “Our vision is to set a new stan­dard for inno­va­tion in health­care logis­tics. Through the use of the Wing­copter 198, we are not sim­ply improv­ing deliv­ery times, we are offer­ing patients faster access to the treat­ments and med­i­cines they urgent­ly need.” 

Adding, “For us, this is a phil­an­thropic ini­tia­tive that embod­ies our com­mit­ment to sav­ing lives and sup­port­ing the health­care pro­fes­sion­als who ded­i­cate them­selves to car­ing for oth­ers.”
