Multiroute delivery – Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Parma
With the collaboration of Menta srl, the first experimental flights between Neviano degli Arduini and Langhirano, in the Parma Apennines, have been successfully completed. These flights connected seven different routes to transport blood and biological samples from the Casa della Salute in Langhirano to laboratories in the Parma province, using the ABzero | Life Saving Partner system for ultra-rapid and controlled delivery of highly perishable medical goods.
The flights were fully autonomous while maintaining remote monitoring. They covered significant distances, demonstrating the system’s ability to overcome geographical obstacles and ensure speed and efficiency under real-world conditions. This success was made possible thanks to the essential contribution of #AI integrated into the #SmartCapsule and the #Spoke system.
Why is it important?
In the transport of biological samples, blood, or life-saving drugs, time is critical. With ABzero, we are breaking traditional logistical barriers, offering an innovative solution that drastically reduces delivery times while ensuring the highest standards of safety and traceability.
Why is this a significant milestone?
The fast and safe transport of blood and other biological materials is crucial for saving lives. Drones enable the overcoming of geographical obstacles and road traffic, ensuring timely deliveries even in hard-to-reach areas.
Looking ahead:
This flight represents a significant step toward integrating drones into healthcare logistics, aiming to expand the service nationally and beyond, improving the efficiency and speed of essential medical deliveries.

TrustwOrthy Pnt for unmAnned aerial SystEms – TOPASE
The project awarded by the European Space Agency – ESA, aims to harness innovation in the design and development of highly reliable #UAS positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions.
Thanks to the consortium created together with Thales Alenia Space, DRONE VOLT and Politehnica University Timisoara (UPT), TOPASE will focus on #BVLOS operations and critical use cases such as:
- Surveillance of critical infrastructure (specific category),
- Delivery of specific goods between two identified points (specific category),
- Taxi drones (certified category).
TOPASE results are supported by an End to End Proof of concept aligned with a real commercial use case bringing viability of the business plan and maximizing the solution go to market.
