German Copters DLS Drone Cuts Blood Sample Transport Time by 60% in Dresden Test

Dresden-based German Copters DLS GmbH has successfully tested a drone for blood sample transportation, demonstrating the city's commitment to innovative technologies. The drone, equipped with three SIM cards for reliable reception, has shown promising results in reducing transport time by up to 60 percent.

The drone, capable of flying for approximately two hours and reaching speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, has proven its efficiency on a test route between the Osterzgebirge and Dresden. It carries around 50 blood samples daily, bypassing traffic obstacles and ensuring swift delivery.

The flight is not fully autonomous. It is monitored by an experienced pilot, Matea Zivkovic, based in Croatia, who intervenes in case of sudden obstacles or weather changes. The project is part of Dresden's innovation hub, with the company aiming to expand its drone services across the Free State of Saxony, subject to necessary permits.

The successful test flight of the blood sample drone in Dresden paves the way for larger projects. The drone's efficiency in reducing transport time and its reliable, monitored flight ensure its potential as a valuable tool in the region's healthcare services.
