Rwanda is famous for its tall volcanoes, vast mountains, and deep jungles. But this wild terrain poses a problem for speedy delivery of medical supplies to remote hospitals that need them. Enter Zipline, a drone delivery company with a fleet of drones that are revolutionizing medical requests in Rwanda.
Zipline's goal is to be able to service all 500 health facilities in Rwanda using its two distribution centers. Check out this episode of Field Trip to hear from Zipline General Manager Joseph Ndagijimana and find out more about how the drone delivery company is revolutionizing medical supply delivery in Rwanda.

This is one of the places you would least expect to see this technology, but it one of the places that can benefit from it the most.

@speedy01247 4 года назад

in other nations like the US or UK there is to much air traffic, but in Rwanda its actually genius, at least until they can build enough infrastructure to make the drones obsolete. (though who knows when or if that will ever happen)

@MisterXdotcom 4 года назад

@@speedy01247 yeah not only air traffic I think military wouldn't allow it, it mess up with their systems.

@saithvatar283 4 года назад

@@speedy01247 I do agree, I actually explained this to my other half. Rwanda is also a very up and coming country in Africa. This would definitely not work in most of Africa. As a former Zimbabwean, i know it would just be taken over by the government or robbed and fail very quickly.

@emilmckellar4932 4 года назад

Why would you least expect it here? It is where it is needed, there are educated people to develop the system and obtain the funds to start the company. I truly fail to see why you think that development of a system wont happen where it is needed.

Zipline should start pizza deliveries...that's a million dollar idea 😜😁🤗, but Medicines should be the first priority for companies like Zipline.

@speedy01247 4 года назад

rather it be used to deliver medicine, cause my dad once worked at a place that delivered medicine here in the US and there was more then one time where he went out (delivering specific medicines to places) and got called back like an hour later cause the person died or something. (idk much about the specifics, but it was in Wisconsin, I just remember the one time where he called me and asked if I wanted something to eat since he was called back and would be home soon, I had asked what happened and he said the person died, I should also note this was like 2 years ago not 10 or 20)

@spole1699 4 года назад

@727Phoenix 4 года назад

If every destination had an anemometer linked to the drones, then every drop can land in exactly the same spot with precision having factored in wind speed, direction and drone velocity. I'd recommend that only if possible cargos are fragile, needing a soft landing cushion. But otherwise, Damn this is awesome! I love it!!

@Darkmouse20001 Год назад

The drone knows exactly what the wind is doing by comparing it's ground speed with its airspeed and it's track Vs. Heading. Apparently it takes the wind into account when it drops it payload to try and hit the same spot each time.

@akyhne 4 года назад

@otakuman706 4 года назад

@Arthur Wellesley Generally multiple different companies and the like, who may themselves manufacture the item, or otherwise procure the item needed from another region/supplier/etc. Sometimes it may be one or two kinds of item from a single organization, or it may be larger scale deals with a company/organization/whatever that provide a wide array of medications and supplies from many different places that initially produce/distribute them. Often times it can be all kinds of different mixes of these models, but that's a rough idea that generally applies.
