Cognitive Seeds, Inc is revolutionizing freight movement in the logistics and long-haul trucking industry by creating a cargo drone ecosystem (airports) with large drones that carry shipping containers between cities.

The result is a safe, timely and more efficient transport of freight within the country that is better than any transportation solution currently on the market.

Colombia's topology and challenged infrastructure limits its ability to efficiently transport freight and products between its major cities.

The drive from Medellin to Bogotá is only 260 miles
(420 km) yet is a full day of driving.

Shipping costs in Colombia are currently 5 times higher than neighboring countries.

Not to mention, content insurance is a bit steep:
70% of all insured truckloads result in filing an
insurance claim.

There are many towns in Colombia the government cannot easily reach because there are no roads. Mapping a route between Bogotá and towns on the eastern border with Google will result in a message that says "No Route Possible.”

Military and mining concerns are paying in excess of $6,000 per hour to resupply their activities in the field. Helicopters making the deliveries are limited in terms of weight and the number of times they can deliver materials.

Through the pairing of software and hardware, our end-to-end “Drone Hives (airports)” support autonomous cargo drones/helicopters that will carry shipping containers weighing up to 10 tons on smart “shipping lanes in the sky.”

Freight will arrive safely, timely and more efficiently than any other solution on the market.

Cognitive Seeds, Inc. is creating a safe environment for these large autonomous drones to operate in by owning the airspace and routes in which the aircraft will travel and providing landing and take-off points near cities with space for logistics companies to operate in.

Cognitive Seeds Inc. has designed an autonomous drone/helicopter that is capable of carrying a shipping container weighing up to 10 tons a distance over 430 miles (700 km).

A layer of AI software is fitted over existing aeronautics, power plants, communications and base autonomous software to manage the drone and make it safe to fly. The drones are programmed not to fly over people, livestock or structures.

Developed a light-weight but Ultra-Secure Container made from carbon fiber composites and equipped with tracking technology that allow the container to be located and provides images of the people that open the container to the owners.

The hive is completely run by AI software that controls all flight and ground operations but may be overridden by authorized personnel in Flight Operations.

Shipping containers can be transported directly from the truck to the landing pad under a drone without any human interaction.

The drone then transports the shipping container to the destination city via the sky lanes where the container is offloaded and moved to a waiting truck via robotic forklifts, reducing costs through robotics and efficiency.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
Per government request, assembled a group of lawyers in the aircraft industry to submit drafts of new regulations necessary for approval by Aero Civil before the end of the year.

Paperwork cementing a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with a military logistics unit.

SURA, the largest insurance company in Latin America, has formed a group whose charter is to help us implement the ecosystem throughout Latin America.

NASA | Small Business | Will provide the robotic management software needed.

Intelligent Product Solutions (IPS) | A subsidiary of Forward Industries, will provide the engineering people we need to design the drone and container.

Oiga Technologies | AI development company in Colombia, will develop the AI vision and robotic pieces of the code.

Arrow Electronic Partner | Will provide most of the components for the drone and container and will assure that many of them will have IoT sensors built in.

Tronex | Global battery company based in Medellin, will provide the power for the containers, robots in the hive and alternative energy sources for the hive.
