ACME INDIA MEDICAL DRONES

In their own words

ACME INDIA MEDICAL DRONES A Startup to Deliver Critical Medical Supplies by Drones A Chennai startup that operates a platform for hospitals and healthcare centers transporting organs for critical surgeries in time and also to procure pharmaceutical products plans to conduct a pilot for delivering critical medical supplies by drones. High-Flying Ambitions The deliveries will be done within a range of 85 kilometers from the centers and could cut down the delivery time of critical supplies to hospitals to just 30 minutes. We are going to apply for approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the pilot is expected to begin by the mid of this year. “The pilot would allow us to examine our operations and delivery on certain critical parameters including the order fulfillment timelines, error rates of flight operations and efficiency of the cold chain,” Our AIM-Drones will deliver everything from critical human organs, blood bags, vaccines, antibiotics and insulin to lightweight items like stents, implants, masks, gloves and PPEs using the service. The unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted that existing supply chains are not robust enough to deal with these extraordinary circumstances. “The usage of drones in the medical delivery space can usher in a revolution of better access and timely delivery to hospitals and patients who have suffered from the unavailability of critical supplies.” “Fortunately, the DCGA has shown a positive stance towards creating a comprehensive regulation around drone services in recent months.” Hence we are very confident of excelling in this world-class life-saving venture. Initially, we want to offer this service to hospitals and healthcare centers and not retail consumers. “India had one of the most stringent lockdowns and this crippled the entire supply chain infrastructure which had huge ramifications. In this period, we can use this AIM-Drones business model to see significant growth in building the new customers mainly Pharma Industries and Major Hospitals and increase our production volumes,” “Our customers mainly Pharma Industries and Major Hospitals are now realizing the benefits of dealing with a tech-driven procurement solutions partner having its own infrastructure for logistics, supply chain, and last-mile delivery.”
