Apart from this, these drones will also come with a technology that will help in continuously monitoring the temperature while transporting the samples to the lab. Tata 1mg is taking all necessary precautions while flying these drones to avoid any chances of accidents. The company’s COO Tanmay Saxena has claimed that each drone undergoes tests before and after its flight, which includes battery checks and more. In addition, the drones also follow a smart mapping technology that helps them find the safest route to fly. In addition, these drones are equipped with anti-collision technology that helps them to understand whether there is an object in front of it during flight. In cases where they have to make an emergency landing, the drones are also able to locate nearby hubs where they can land safely without damaging any property or parcel.
