Blueflite, a U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced logistics drones, is taking a significant step toward fully autonomous drone delivery through its partnership with Spleenlab. By integrating Spleenlab’s cutting-edge VISIONAIRY® perception software into its hardware platform, blueflite is introducing a groundbreaking delivery drone solution poised to set a new standard in the logistics industry.

Rust is designed to help programmers avoid mistakes that could cause programs to crash or be unsafe. In contrast, C++ gives more control but also makes it easier to make dangerous mistakes. Python, on the other hand, is very easy to write but can be slower because it has a garbage collector that cleans up memory for you. Rust gives a balance: it’s fast like C++ but safer and more predictable, making it great for big, complex systems where both performance and reliability are

Despite the difficult market situation, Spleenlab closes 2023 extremely successfully. The number of prominent customers doubled, a significant increase in sales was recorded and, thanks to 14 new hires, almost 36 employees now work at the sites in Saalburg-Ebersdorf and Jena.

In December 2023, Spleenlab tested a completely new concept in the field of autonomous mobility for the first time. At the premises of BrigkAIR, a start-up incubator in Ingolstadt, ideas and proposals for the technical implementation were concretised and finalised by a team of engineers and creative minds.

In the first interview of 2024, our software developer Sebastian Baake talks about his career from studying engineering informatics at the Technical University of Ilmenau, the recruitment process and his work on various projects at Spleenlab. Just watch the video to learn more.

During the Digital Gipfel 2023 , our CEO Dr. Stefan Milz met the State Secretary of the Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr (BMDV) Daniela Kluckert and Christian Gerlitz, Mayor of the City of Jena. They were given an interactive insight into Spleenlab’s VISIONAIRY® perception software for autonomous driving during a ride on our demo bus. It became clear how important Jena is as a location for innovative companies and the development of pioneering technologies.
