Mysuru-based Vinyas Innovative Technologies and Bengaluru-based Printalytix have signed an MoU with an IIT-Madras incubated ePlane firm, which specialises in constructing compact flying electrical taxis and drone programs, for creating UAVs and flying electrical automobiles.
Vinyas and Printalytix signed the MoU with ePlane in Mysuru on May 18.
Vinyas will likely be manufacturing varied sorts of drones and UAVs in addition to collaborating on advertising and servicing the identical. Printalytix will likely be offering mechanical design and manufacturing help for the manufacturing of UAVs and electrical flying taxis.
The three corporations intention to indigenise, manufacture, assemble, and combine superior drone programs at Vinyas’ manufacturing facility in Mysuru by leveraging ePlane’s know-how and manufacturing know-how. Vinyas, strengthened by e-Plane, will present after-market providers, and product life-cycle help to its clients worldwide.
The MoU entails manufacturing of small and enormous UAVs in addition to electrical flying taxis that use eVTOL know-how designed to fulfil necessities ranging from land safety and surveillance, supply, rail inspections and monitoring, mapping, to emergency response in city environments.
The MoU covers the work scope of electronics design and growth, PCB meeting, system integration and testing of those UAVs and drone elements. The UAVs of ePlane have efficiently demonstrated their product capabilities by way of vary, battery life and distinctive design.
Prof. Satya Chakravarthy, founder and CEO of ePlane, mentioned, “We aim to unlock the full potential of indigenisation, design, engineering and manufacturing that would contribute to the evolving advanced air mobility market and the Make-in-India scheme as well.”
Narendra Narayanan, founder and Managing Director of Vinyas Innovative Technologies, mentioned, “The MoU aims to bring the best of drone technology solutions to many strategic entities. The partnership is a no-brain drainer, as our joint vision has matched up perfectly.”
According to Kiran and Abhishek, who symbolize Printalytix: “We witness the growing demand and need for drones in various sectors while the supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem in India are catching up to be able to support this growth.”
