With Spright, a US-based market-leading unmanned aerial system operator, RigiTech has won a key operating partner of its Eiger drone systems in Europe and worldwide to healthcare clients. RigiTech will be delivering the first six Eiger systems over the next few months and the training of Spright’s key staff has already begun.
RigiTech has been building technology that can solve real challenges in healthcare logistics while providing a solution that exceeds ever-evolving aviation safety standards. Its Eiger drone system, designed with a network-first approach, is integrated with the centralised RigiCloud software infrastructure to ensure reliable and compliant communications, flieght tracking, and fleet maintenance management. The Eiger’s independent safety systems and RigiTech’s cloud-based control software have been instrumental in gaining flight permissions throughout Europe (Switzerland, Italy, France, Denmark and the Czech Republic). Focusing on healthcare and in vitro diagnostics markets, RigiTech is now the only drone delivery company operating a daily commercial BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) route in Europe.
During last week’s EuroMedLab congress in Rome, RigiTech kicked off its strategic partnership with Spright, the U.S.-based market-leading unmanned aerial system operator. As part of their collaboration, Spright will become a key operating partner of RigiTech’s Eiger delivery system in Europe and worldwide, playing a pivotal role in establishing new drone delivery networks for healthcare clients.
“Spright has pioneered advanced drone operations in the U.S., with an aviation-based approach that is key to deploying safe and reliable logistics services,” says Adam Klaptocz, RigiTech’s CEO. “In the last year, we’ve proven our drones can meet the strict requirements of European regulations and have started commercial delivery operations with select healthcare customers. It’s now time to scale. The partnership with Spright will allow us to expand our networks more quickly as we focus our efforts on ramping up our production line and software infrastructure.”
The startup will continue expanding its Eiger drone system and enter new markets. In response to the increasing demand for efficient and reliable drone delivery services, RigiTech is set to enhance its production capabilities and explore opportunities for BVLOS operations in the U.S., Latin America, Middle East, and Asia.
