AeroLift eXpress Receives Positive Responses from U.S. Offshore Ops Companies as it Presents Its Revolutionary Drone-Based Delivery System
Valmie debuted AeroLift eXpress last month at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Valmie Resources Inc.'s (VMRI) joint venture partner -- AeroLift eXpress -- presented its groundbreaking drone-based delivery platform to two U.S. offshore operations companies. The responses from the companies were positive and AeroLift has begun making preparations for a live demonstration.
Valmie debuted AeroLift eXpress last month at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.
"We are very optimistic following our presentation to twenty top officials of a marine operations services and engineering company," said James Stafford, AeroLift eXpress CEO and Founder. "AeroLift has now begun the process of obtaining Federal Aviation Administration permission to hold a live demonstration at a safe local site for these and several other companies."
The agendas of the two presentations included descriptions of AeroLifts military grade drone technology and how it offers significant advantages over marine, helicopter, and existing unmanned systems.
"Reducing cost, risk, and delays are top of mind for these executives and for every project manager in the energy sector," said Gerald B. Hammack, President and CEO of Valmie Resources. "We look forward to demonstrating how AeroLift can safely access some of the most remote locations on the globe."
AeroLift, operated by former US military pilots, delivers payloads up to 14 pounds within an operating radius of 250 miles. Stafford says the company has plans to increase the payload size to as much as 80 pounds in subsequent development phases.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
