Lisbon, Portugal- Sinepower is pleased to announce its participation in the Drone Logistics Ecosystem, to address the evolving drone logistics market for urban, rural, regionally and at sea mid-mile and last-mile deliveries. The aim of Drone Logistics is to work on standardization of the drone delivery technologies by working on innovative solutions such as the delivery systems, vertiport universal charging stations, safety, and reliability etc.
SINEPOWER LTD, Director Mr. Edward Alves said, "Sinepower is developing applications for its technologies for the fast-moving advanced air mobility industry. Based on know-how obtained from the aviation industry, specifically on the ground power management, and from the EV charging industry, Sinepower finds itself in a unique position to offer the best quality Power Management and Energy Transformation solutions to the upcoming and fast-growing drone delivery market. Sinepower is Setting up collaboration with AirGo Design Pte Ltd to work on lightweight electrification solutions related to the drone delivery market, such as AirGo’s DroneBox™ that can also provide battery housing space to extend the flight range of the drone."
The Drone Logistics Ecosystem are a free of charge, global multidisciplinary “quadruple helix” network of Companies, Universities, Public/Government, and Investors to stimulate innovations, collaborations, and standardisations in the drone logistic industry.
The aim of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem is to bring together stakeholders in the drone logistics industry under one roof to support commercialisation and marketing of products of Drone Logistics members. Since the industry at its inception, most of the companies are early-stage start-ups with limited access to funding, manpower and expertise, making us an ideal platform for companies to lend their expertise for joint-development of products, consulting, or simply as sub-contractors, or for any other format of cross-disciplinary/border collaboration.
The benefits of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem include.
· Inclusivity for all players in the industry with an open Drone Logistics Ecosystem.
· Standardization globally to ensure the smooth and efficient movement of goods from the factory to the end customer globally.
· A win-win for all participants in this emerging industry and the delivery and courier industry, and more importantly, the customers.

DELTA AEROSPACE was established over a decade ago to look at aerospace opportunities and the development of Aerospace business in Malaysia and the Region. In 2019 response to a “general enquiry”, we started down the path to where we are today, the only seaplane Distribution Organization in Asia Pacific and by 2023 the only 8 seat Seaplane Manufacturer in Asia. Achieving this status is our initial goal, and all indication shows that it is developing into a great business and opportunity to effectively develop another new branch of General Aviation Transport. But, with the developing step-change in aviation and the direction drone technology, E-mobility technology, and drive of our own markets to achieve a much more efficient and effective transport the environment is taking us, our goal is to achieve an autonomous fleet of seaplane freight vehicles by 2026. As an organisation, we are convinced that this is achievable in that timeframe via the utilization of existing airframes and known methods of operation and manufacture and not via the clean sheet design the route that not only takes a long time to see those completed vehicles become real but also require comprehensive and long duration certification programs for those vehicles. We already have the aircraft, alternative technology propulsion systems are already available for our manned aircraft updates and the flight control, flight management and communication systems enabling “removal of the pilot and fully autonomous operation is also available. Ours is a program of integration of the new and the traditional providing both comfort to us in terms of possible development timeframe and comfort to those certifying authorities eventually approving our 1.5 Ton amphibious Drones and their operation crossing the Pacific is part of a complete logistic network. Our goal being achieved through smart partnership and the combination of the best solutions.
DRAGONFLY PADS is a French company, who provide turn-key solutions for drone landing and maintenance through the deployment of a grid of flexible, safe, and cost-effective vertiports. The pads will be strategically located on underused public and private real estate. Development of turn-key all-inclusive mobile and eco-friendly pads enabling landing, charging, servicing and storing of drones. DragonFly Pads is led by a team of experienced and successful executives developing both hardware and software vertiport to service the commercial drones, which is expected to reach over 400 000 commercial drones in Europe by 2030 and DragonFly Pads is actively engaged in partnerships with well-established players across Europe and now globally.
FREESPACE OPERATIONS is an Australian owned and operated manufacturer, delivering world-leading industrial heavy lift multirotor drone systems to the defence & commercial sectors. Freespace Operations focus on small to medium-sized multirotor systems with their flagship heavy lifter Calisto 50 multirotor drone offering global best performance and features allowing up to 25 kg of payload capacity and multirole capabilities. The Callisto core philosophy is modularity with multiple power options are available, including high energy density battery and series petrol hybrid systems, quick change payloads, advanced ship-based take-off and landing marine capability and long-term maintenance while also being ‘Evergreen’ allowing for both hardware and software upgrades along with the full life of the aircraft. NORDIC 247© is an innovation-driven Finnish company with cutting edge miniaturized temperature cooling systems to treat the limited/weak power of the cooling capacity. The treatment of airflow of hot and cold air is the key factor. This is protected with a patent. We have developed a cooler with Peltier elements that have a cooling capacity close enough to basic compressor coolers. State-of-the Peltier coolers could only achieve a temperature difference of 10⁰C from ambient (ambient is +21⁰C). We have broken through this boundary and managed almost to double the temperature difference, achieving an inner cooler temperature of +2,9⁰C! With our technology, we can build coolers with 80% fewer parts – a meaningful environmental impact. All parts are recyclable. SINEPOWER LTD is a Portugal-based power equipment manufacturer that has over 30 years of experience in the field of Power Electronics. we have been designing and manufacturing power electronics equipment for various clients in different markets.
