Shenzhen Medical Innovation
Since August 2021, delivering medical samples via dedicated aerial routes with 50% time savings and zero contamination incidents.
50% Faster
24/7 standby capability
Zero Contamination
Transforming Hospital Logistics in China's Megacity
Background :
Hospitals in Luohu, Shenzhen, faced a critical bottleneck in medical sample transportation. In a city of 15 million people, traffic congestion was creating dangerous delays in getting time-sensitive medical samples between hospitals and testing centers.
The Challenge:
-
Unpredictable delivery times due to mega-city traffic conditions
-
High contamination risk from multiple handovers in ground transportation networks
-
Critical delays affecting patient diagnosis and treatment decisions
-
Bio-sensitive samples (blood, COVID, flu) requiring special handling protocols
Our Solution:
In August 2021, we established China's first dedicated aerial medical delivery network using robust, all-weather octocopter systems equipped with UN3373-certified temperature-controlled dangerous goods packaging.
Technical Implementation:
-
Octocopter drones designed for medical cargo transport
-
Temperature-controlled packaging meeting international dangerous goods standards (UN3373)
-
All-weather operation capability ensuring consistent service
-
Simple operation protocols for hospital staff integration
Proven Results:
-
50% reduction in delivery time with deterministic scheduling
-
Zero contamination incidents since program launch
-
3+ additional aerial routes now operational daily
-
24/7 standby capability with 3-minute takeoff response
-
Complete elimination of delay penalties
Samples Successfully Transported:
-
Blood samples for emergency testing
-
COVID-19 test specimens
-
Urine samples for laboratory analysis
-
Other bio-sensitive medical materials
Ongoing Impact:
Three years of continuous operation have proven the reliability and efficiency of aerial medical logistics, with the network continuing to expand to serve more hospitals across Shenzhen.

Technical Innovation:
-
Smart routing over sparsely populated areas with moving ship avoidance
-
Weather-resistant operations maintaining schedule reliability
-
Real-time tracking providing minute-accurate ETA predictions
-
Automated safety protocols ensuring zero-incident operations
Transformative Results:
-
83% time reduction: From 70 minutes to just 12 minutes
-
Precision timing: ETA determined to the minute, unaffected by port congestion
-
Environmental impact: 80% reduction in CO2 emissions
-
Port efficiency: Reduced docking time increases overall port capacity and turnover
-
Industry leadership: European first in commercial petrochemical drone delivery
Transformative Impact:
This breakthrough demonstrates the potential for drone technology to transform industrial logistics while achieving significant environmental benefits, particularly important for the petrochemical industry's sustainability goals.
