Unifly, a pacesetter in UAS Visitors Administration (UTM) options, proudly proclaims its pivotal function in enabling the first-ever autonomous drone transport of petrochemical evaluation samples on the port of Antwerp. This groundbreaking initiative from ADLC, SGS and BASF, facilitated by Unifly’s superior UTM system, marks a big milestone within the integration of autonomous drone know-how into industrial operations.
The SAMPLIFLY challenge is a world trade first, assembly strict security and regulatory necessities. ADLC is the primary in Europe accepted for drone transport of petrochemical samples and the primary worldwide inside a port’s non-segregated managed airspace. Historically, pattern transport is performed by highway. Utilizing drone logistics reduces transport time by as much as six occasions, decreases CO2 emissions by as much as 80%, and considerably enhances operational effectivity for each BASF Antwerp and SGS.
Unifly’s NextGen UTM system ensures protected drone operations on the port of Antwerp with real-time monitoring, automated flight planning, and enhanced situational consciousness, enabling seamless BVLOS operations. Serving as a advisor for the SAMPLIFLY challenge, Unifly performed a vital function in acquiring flight authorizations. For the reason that Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority makes use of Unifly’s UTM system, it was instrumental in managing the mandatory approvals.
Leveraging the superior UTM system of Unifly has been instrumental in making the SAMPLIFLY challenge a actuality. This partnership has enabled us to satisfy stringent security necessities and pioneer the usage of autonomous drones for petrochemical pattern transport, setting a brand new benchmark for effectivity and innovation within the logistics trade.Marc Kegelaers, Co-founder of ADLC
Operational since mid-March 2021, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges DronePortal has processed over 5,700 flight authorizations, enjoying a pivotal function within the evolving U-space panorama. The implementation of Unifly’s UTM system at Port of Antwerp-Bruges, in cooperation with SkeyDrone, has created an surroundings that absolutely permits the potential of the drone trade.
We’re thrilled to see our UTM system enabling such a transformative challenge. The profitable implementation of BVLOS operations for petrochemical pattern transport demonstrates the immense potential of autonomous drones in industrial functions. This challenge units a brand new commonplace for security and effectivity in drone logisticsAndres Van Swalm, CEO of Unifly
