Revolutionize Home Delivery with Zipline's Autonomous Drones.
Transform the way you deliver packages with Zipline's innovative autonomous drones, designed to provide fast, silent, and efficient home delivery services in cities and suburbs. Founded in 2011, Zipline has been at the forefront of developing, producing, and operating autonomous drones for delivering goods to remote areas, especially for urgent medicine delivery in Africa. Now, with the introduction of their new Platform 2 (P2) system, they are set to revolutionize home delivery in urban and suburban landscapes.
Zipline's next-generation home delivery platform is virtually silent and up to 7 times faster than traditional car delivery, covering a distance of 16 km in just 10 minutes. With a focus on space efficiency, the docking and charging equipment is compact and can be easily attached to any building or installed as a free-standing structure. Customers can enjoy the convenience of on-demand orders or plan the exact delivery time of a parcel, up to a second.
The cargo is placed inside the droid, a container with a closed propeller in the tail section, which is then loaded into one of Zipline's P2 Zip eVTOL drones at the docking station. The drone flies to the destination address, maintaining an altitude of at least 91 meters. Upon reaching the destination, the drone hovers in place and lowers the droid with a winch. Using a downward-facing camera and other onboard sensors, the droid can accurately determine the target landing zone, such as the steps in front of a house, and compensate for factors like crosswind to ensure a precise landing.
The recipient simply opens the hatch and retrieves their parcel, after which the droid returns to the drone by winch. The system is designed for loads weighing up to 3.6 kg, with a service radius of 16 km that can be extended to 39 km by flying between loading stations for battery recharging.
Several corporate clients have already subscribed to Zipline's autonomous drone delivery service, including Michigan Medicine, MultiCare Health System, Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City, the Government of Rwanda, and the Sweetgreen grocery store chain. Zipline plans to conduct large-scale flight tests this year, consisting of more than 10,000 test flights using about 100 drones, with the first P2 deployment for clients to follow shortly after.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to revolutionize your home delivery experience. Hire a robot worker from Zipline's fleet of autonomous drones and enjoy fast, silent, and efficient service like never before!
