Hanggai Town belongs to Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which is known as the Bamboo Township. This beautiful yet unknown small town became the focus of China in 2016. On September 19, 2016, the first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) postal route in China, jointly established by Antwork and China Post, was born here, marking the first normalized commercial application of China's drone delivery industry. Over the past 6 years, the project has continued to operate and has opened up a total of 4 air routes, connecting Hanggai Town with its subordinate villages such as Qiguan Village, Dakeng Village, Hanghe Village, and Lingxi Village, with a total flight distance of nearly 20000 kilometers.


The past six years have been the growth of rapid ant technology. From the earliest application of the TR5 model, it has gradually been upgraded and replaced, and to this day, a drone product matrix mainly consisting of multi rotor and vertical takeoff and landing fixed wings has been deployed, and a new generation of landing drones has been developed; The airport also took off and landed from the ground of Hanggai Town, and developed into an MH2 station and an RH1 station, achieving automatic access and retrieval of goods. At the same time, Antwork has completed the construction of Antwork Cloud. As a stable system, it can achieve real-time monitoring and emergency control of drones, and the automatic operation ability of drones is gradually improving, achieving AL-4 level autonomous driving ability.


The past six years have been the development of rapid ant applications. Starting from Hanggai Town in Anji County, Antwork began to explore normalized commercial operations, completing evolution and transformation from rural to urban areas. As of now, a total of 360000 kilometers of urban scene operation have been completed. The application has gradually expanded from the earliest rural postal routes to multiple scenarios such as healthcare and smart cities, and has launched the uamOS drone operating system for urban flight scenarios. The application scenarios cover more than ten provinces and cities across the country, and have received widespread media attention. Especially during the epidemic, Antwork leverages the advantage of unmanned logistics to actively assist in material security in epidemic lockdown areas. In the post epidemic era, it cooperates with hospitals and governments to carry out large-scale nucleic acid test sample transportation, helping to reduce costs and increase efficiency.


Anji is the starting point of the ant's journey. We will remember every bamboo forest and mountain we fly over, and deliver warmth and expectations from afar to the hands of the villagers. This is also the foundation for the ant's development. In the future, Antwork will continue to devote itself to serving people's livelihoods through technology, and further promote applications such as healthcare and smart cities; We believe that technological progress is closely linked to life. Under the guidance of technology, future life will be even better.
