Drones instead of trucks: Successful global premiere in inter-site logistics

Wingcopter, together with Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and Merck, successfully tested the use of delivery drones for inter-site logistics operations at Merck. The project, which is the first of its kind in Germany, involved transporting preproduct samples by drone from the Merck site in Gernsheim to a laboratory at Merck headquarters in Darmstadt some 25 kilometers away where they must undergo quality assurance testing for an ongoing production process.
