Drones instead of trucks: Successful global premiere in inter-site logistics
Against the record
Wingcopter 198, from Wingcopter, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 14 Sept 2026: Wingcopter launched the Wingcopter 262, a military reconnaissance drone it says can stay in the air for up to six hours.
This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.
From the video's description
Wingcopter, together with Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and Merck, successfully tested the use of delivery drones for inter-site logistics operations at Merck. The project, which is the first of its kind in Germany, involved transporting preproduct samples by drone from the Merck site in Gernsheim to a laboratory at Merck headquarters in Darmstadt some 25 kilometers away where they must undergo quality assurance testing for an ongoing production process.
