Aerosense’s drone “Aerobo AS-MC03-TBox” used for the demonstration experiment of transporting goods such as medical supplies in Tottori City
Aerosense Co., Ltd. provided the aircraft (Aerobo AS-MC03-TBox) and operated the demonstration experiment of transporting goods such as medical supplies by drone assuming disasters in Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture.
This project utilizes the “Tottori Prefecture Digital Green Logistics Promotion Subsidy” and is Tottori Prefecture’s first trial of drone logistics that specifically assumes medical support in the event of a disaster. In addition, the following companies, including Aerosense, are participating in this demonstration experiment with the aim of promoting regional cooperation for setting routes for drone delivery.
Aerosense’s Drones “Aerobo AS-MC03-TBox”
Aerosense’s Drone “Aerobo AS-MC03-TBox” used for the demonstration experiment is characterized by being able to automatically fly by setting a flight plan (altitude, speed, route, etc.) according to the application. In addition, the maximum load weight is 2 kg, making it suitable for transporting goods such as pharmaceuticals.
In the demonstration experiment, from Tottori City Hall to Tokuyoshi Pharmacy, to Axis Bird Stadium, which is expected to be used as an evacuation shelter in the event of a disaster, a drone was used to deliver medicines and transport medical supplies in short supply over a 5km air route. Sense was mainly responsible for providing the drone aircraft (Aerobo AS-MC03-TBox) and operating management in this demonstration experiment. In an actual demonstration experiment, it was demonstrated that the drone was effective in delivering medical supplies to the destination about 10 minutes after takeoff, and in transporting emergency supplies even when roads were blocked due to disasters. .
In addition, this demonstration experiment is scheduled to be conducted for the second time in late November 2022, and long-distance transport of pharmaceuticals and food using Aerosense’s VTOL (vertical take-off and landing fixed wing) drone “Aero Bowing”. to validate. Through this test, we plan to verify the feasibility, including issues and profitability, while continuing activities to increase social acceptance of drones for the region.
Aerosense has a track record of cooperating with logistics demonstration experiments conducted by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, etc., and has been recognized for its high aircraft performance and reliability. We will continue to contribute to the spread and implementation of drone logistics by cooperating in similar experiments.
