Urban Ray Advances Medical Drone Logistics: Essen Trial Demonstrates Fully Automated Sample Transport
German startup Urban Ray completed a one-week medical drone logistics trial in Essen, transporting blood, urine, and tissue samples from St. Josef Hospital to a laboratory roughly 8 km away using a fully automated station-to-station system. The drone travels at up to 70 km/h, cutting delivery time to half that of a road vehicle, while ground staff require no direct drone interaction and batteries swap in under 60 seconds.
