Mitsubishi Electric Launches AnyMile Drone-Based Logistics Operations Management Platform
New Online Technology Ideal for Mid- to Long-Range Cargo Deliveries in Healthcare,
Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, and Power Markets
Las Vegas and Cypress, Calif. – January 5, 2023 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation today
announced its drone-based logistics operations management platform, called AnyMile, a
holistic solution that enables businesses and fleet operators to schedule and manage cargo
deliveries via drones over long distances of up to several hundred miles.
The platform supports operation across all known categories of drones – multi-rotor, fixed-wing,
single-rotor or fixed-wing hybrid VTOL – to provide an end-to-end resource planning and
management system. Use of drones is expected to dramatically reduce asset transfer time for
corporate shippers and logistics companies, enabling just-in-time inventory.
AnyMile will interface with last-mile delivery service providers to create a door-to-door
infrastructure solution for industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, oil and gas. An
interactive demo will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from
January 5 – 9, 2023.
“The addition of AnyMile to Mitsubishi Electric’s suite of products supports the organization’s
long-range vision to digitally transform our society,” said Zafer Sahinoglu, vice president and
general manager of Mitsubishi Electric Innovation Center (MELIC). “Drone operators, corporate
shippers, and transportation and logistics companies will benefit from access to shipment, fleet
and service management applications, allowing for faster and more convenient deliveries.”
Recent research from GlobalMarkets.com indicates that drone use in the transportation,
logistics and supply chain industries is expected to grow by a CAGR of 55% by 2030. The U.S.
already has invested $9 billion in the drone industry since 2020 to support increasing demand
for efficient product delivery and promote carbon neutrality.
The AnyMile platform enables businesses to seamlessly manage their shipments, drone fleets
and infrastructure services, including scheduling cargo pick up at a specific location, tracking
delivery to multiple destinations; managing drone maintenance tasks; live situational
awareness; and performing routine operational tasks, such as generating customer invoices,
booking services for drones including refueling and much more.
AnyMile’s key solutions partners include drone companies such as Aerialoop, Elroy Air, EVA,
IRIS Automation, OneSky, MightyFly, Toofon, Velary, and Volatus Aerospace.
The AnyMile drone management platform applications will be launched publicly on March 31, 2023
