UPS and Matternet just made the first revenue-generating drone delivery

UPS, in partnership with the drone technology company Matternet, on Tuesday began its daily drone delivery of medical supplies in WakeMed’s campus in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The drone delivery cut the transport time of crucial medical samples from about half an hour to just over three minutes.

It is the first revenue-generating drone delivery in the US, Bala Ganesh, the vice president of the Advanced Technology Group at UPS, told Business Insider.
