Unifly, a pacesetter in UAS Visitors Administration (UTM) options, proudly pronounces its pivotal function in enabling the first-ever autonomous drone transport of petrochemical evaluation samples on the port of Antwerp. This groundbreaking initiative from ADLC, SGS and BASF, facilitated by Unifly’s superior UTM system, marks a major milestone within the integration of autonomous drone know-how into industrial operations.
The SAMPLIFLY mission is a world trade first, assembly strict security and regulatory necessities. ADLC is the primary in Europe authorised for drone transport of petrochemical samples and the primary worldwide inside a port’s non-segregated managed airspace. Historically, pattern transport is performed by highway. Utilizing drone logistics reduces transport time by as much as six instances, decreases CO2 emissions by as much as 80%, and considerably enhances operational effectivity for each BASF Antwerp and SGS.
Unifly’s NextGen UTM system ensures secure drone operations on the port of Antwerp with real-time monitoring, automated flight planning, and enhanced situational consciousness, enabling seamless BVLOS operations. Serving as a marketing consultant for the SAMPLIFLY mission, Unifly performed a vital function in acquiring flight authorizations. For the reason that Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority makes use of Unifly’s UTM system, it was instrumental in managing the required approvals.
