  • Publication number: 20230406501
    Abstract: Drone management system comprising at least one drone (1) and a logistic support unit (2) of said drone (1). Said drone (1) comprising at least one container (3) adapted to contain service material, which container (3) comprises at least one inlet mouth (34 35) of said service material and expulsion means (35) of said service material. Said logistic support unit (2) comprises a resupply area of said container (3), which resupply area comprises resupply means (43, 44, 45) of said container. Said resupply means comprise position locking means (45) of said container (3), dispensing means communicating with a tank and a dispensing mouth (43, 44) adapted to communicate with said inlet mouth (34, 35), said resupply area comprising a basin element (4), the walls (41) of which converge towards said resupply means.

  • Publication number: 20230172118
    Abstract: A system for vegetable garden and nursery cultivation of plants is described that includes a cabinet comprising a plurality of shelves on which to cultivate plants. The shelves are being positioned one on top of the other along a vertical axis, so as to identify a space interposed between the upper face of a shelf and the lower face of the overlying shelf. The space is adapted to cultivate the plants. Further, means for generating a light source, means for delivering a liquid, and means for suction/supply of a forced air flow are provided. Further, means for moving the shelves along the vertical axis are included, there being a control unit configured to control operation of the means for moving, the means for generating the light source, the means for delivering the liquid, and the means for suction/supply.

  • Patent number: 11104436
    Abstract: A coordinated support system for drones includes support units that have the shape and size of a common container and can be easily moved by using common road tractors, so to position a drone fleet close to a fire, possibly recover the aircraft at the end of the mission, and enable transfer during the mission to areas of strategic interest or priority importance to effectively fight the spreading of fire fronts in real time. Coordination and control are carried out through a control unit. The drones are powered by batteries, the automated replacement and recharging of which extends flight autonomy. The system enables an initial filling and subsequent multiple refills of the drones with an extinguishing liquid contained in small dispersible containers, which can be hooked and unhooked from the drones by remote control so to perform multiple missions.
