Valqari—a Chicago-based startup company—has unveiled its patented Smart Drone Delivery Mailbox, which provides a standardized, safe and secure landing area for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) deliveries.
The universal receptacle handles both package delivery and pick-up by drone. Valqari said its technology could revolutionize drone delivery for industries such as pharmaceuticals, meal delivery and grocery services—in both the government and e-commerce sectors.
“We knew the biggest hurdle facing drone delivery was that there was no standardized, safe and secure landing area,” said Ryan Walsh, Valqari CEO and co-founder. “This gave us a clear vision from the start that our mission would be to provide the missing piece to the last stage drone delivery process.”
