Becoming a pioneer in mechanical engineering with automated extinguishing drones and strategic collaborations

Working together for innovation

CNC24 has contributed to the completion of an innovative extinguishing drone through a partnership with the start-up Naturetec involving the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW).

This underlines CNC24's commitment to supporting start-ups in the realization of pioneering projects that are still in the early stages.

Integration of technologies for sustainable and efficient solutions

The result of this partnership is the development of an automated drone for fighting field, forest and meadow fires, for which CNC24 was able to make an important contribution to component procurement.

Thanks to AI-supported matching, CNC24 was able to quickly identify a suitable manufacturing partner in Europe and Asia for the individual components. This significantly reduced the time needed to produce and deliver the required components.

Focus on quality assurance

Quality assurance was an important part of the entire project. As quality assurance is a central part of CNC24's entire procurement process, the procurement platform has always operated its own ISO 9001-certified measuring center. For Naturetec, this was another important key component in the collaboration with CNC24.
