As if it were a futuristic city, it repeated its new name “Science and Technology Innovation Zone”. Medellín will inaugurate the country's first drone highway in the future. Official information indicates that drones will begin operating on the river of the same name, which runs through the city.
“If all goes well, Medellín will launch a $20 billion business that will reach $70 billion a year in the future”.
Mayor Daniel Quintero said.
The city's mayor, Daniel Quintero, said that the first research tests have already begun and that the results will serve as an investment in the development of the drone corridor. This new flight mechanism is expected to focus on efficient package delivery logistics, increased urban safety and passenger air mobility.
Quintero said he was taking his first steps in a “new city” with the company's Urban Security and Solutions (ESU) and Civil Aviation divisions. what you should know
Medellín is a software valley that attracts the attention of many global industries, especially private companies.
“If it goes well, Medellín will enter a company with an annual production of 20 billion dollars, which will reach 70 billion dollars a year in the future”, the mayor said. “We will lower the cost of parcel mobility and move forward with the idea of using drones to protect the territory”, added the president.
With this new technology, Colombia's second largest city will enter the drone market. “This is a historic moment for Medellín in which we have successfully brought together academia, government and private companies in a massive project to turn the Medellín River into a drone highway”, says Daniel.
Currently, the use of drones in professional fields has covered many areas and is expected to cover more. Drones have the advantage of offering many opportunities in many areas, including business and security.
The use of drones has made great strides in many hard-to-reach jobs. Due to their advantages in versatility, ease of use, precision and many great features, several drones flew during the project presentation festival.
The perspective from a drone is unique, which is why it has made successful progress in filming advertising campaigns as other examples. In case of emergency: drones can be small, but at the same time cover a large storage space (water, medicines, etc.).
Drones can reach people not because they are difficult to access or because they are isolated by natural disasters. Drones stand out for their effectiveness in extreme situations. Its flight speed allows it to cover a large area in a very short time. Drones and their role in quality of life.
In July 2015, the US government. The U.S. approved the first use of drones for drug delivery.
The trial took place at a rural clinic in Virginia, where drones delivered three shipments to a clinic 90 minutes away. The implementation of these devices in various processes is still in its infancy.
This is mainly due to technical limitations that may affect its operation and the legislation that currently governs it. Bad weather can cause transmission problems.
Finally, in some cases, the use of drones worries some audiences about their use in densely populated areas, and even legal problems are some of the limiting factors for large-scale drone deployment. The benefits of acquiring these aircraft are many and their advantages in the logistics process are seen as positive.
