Skypod has really made the headlines recently. It is a reusable shipping container that is transported through the sky by a drone. You may have heard in the news how huge online retailing companies like Amazon were looking into sending parcels by drone? Well, this format of transport now exists in the cold chain shipping logistical cycle and has been a roaring success so far.
However, the reasons why this method of transport came to fruition are more to do with pharmaceuticals than sending toys, parcels and various other products purchased through online retailers.
Send in the Drones – Don’t Worry They’re here!
First, we had to have the drones. This technology has taken off in a massive way. It has been widely used to film aerial videos for television production companies and even the general public have all become very interested in the product.
But it was that need to get vital vaccines and drugs delivered to war zones or areas where a natural disaster has just taken place, which manufacturers and designers thought up the idea of the Skypod.
The concept of moving pharmaceutical drugs in small boxes that are airlifted by LTE/UAV connected drones is a real ground breaker in logistics technology. It is also pioneering too, as no other logistics carrier in the cold chain transport business has come up with this concept.
It is not only a ground breaker but a life saver too. Which is why the Skypod made big news in the industry of transport magazines and logistics newsreels. Desperate people dying and in need of medical vaccines or pharmaceuticals cannot very often get the help they need when they want it. So, this welcoming news comes to those in plight and has given the media a real good news story.
You can more information about the Skypod at its manufacturing distributer Softbox Systems. But what is like under the bonnet? It was created and designed to move drugs and vaccines to areas where vehicles will have great difficulty getting through.
These areas are specifically war zones, flooded regions, earthquake hit areas, mountaineers in distress and even wildfire disasters. It has a thermal insulation inside the box to prevent the vaccines and medical supplies it is carrying from any wild variation in temperature.
