M2 drone system enables new delivery network at Wake Forest Baptist Health

Matternet (Mountain View, CA), a developer of an urban drone logistics platform, announced its M2 drone system is enabling a new hospital delivery network at Wake Forest Baptist Health (Winston-Salem, NC). The service, in collaboration with UPS Flight Forward (UPSFF), will use a hub-and-spoke routing model to provide rapid delivery of time-and-temperature-sensitive medicines and supplies, including PPE. Matternet and UPSFF have started operating on two routes from one location at Wake Forest Baptist Health to two other health system locations, marking one of the first hub-and-spoke operating models for the U.S. drone delivery industry. One route will transport scheduled deliveries of specialty infusion medicines. The second route will transport on-demand supplies of PPE. Read more.
