Follows Guidance Of Oregon And Washington State Health Officials
In accordance with the urging of both Washington and Oregon state governors and advice of leading health organizations to limit non-essential group gatherings, Union Robotics has postponed its upcoming R.A.F.T. (Remote Aircraft Factory Training) course on April 20-24th , as well as trade show appearances for the next 60 days, in an effort to control the potential spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Union Robotics CEO Ezekiel Bierschank reiterates that the step is one taken out of an abundance of caution, due to concern for public health.
“Our primary consideration will always be the safety of our clients, trade partners and our staff,” Bierschank said. “We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation status and taking our lead from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, as well as local, state, and regional governments.” Bierschank says that the Union Robotics team is estimating a return to regularly scheduled events within 60 days, and if the postponement lasts longer, virtual options may be a possibility.
Bierschank also reiterates that this postponement is only for training programs and trade show appearances and will not affect fulfillment of orders. Union Robotics is taking every precaution when manufacturing and assembling all products.
“Our UAVs are manufactured in the U.S.,” Bierschank said. “None of our production has been slowed down; all other business is proceeding as usual.”
Union Robotics is a developer of dielectric, U.S. manufactured UAVs for corporate and private clients and a source of experienced leadership in the emerging field of remote aircraft factory training and equipping users of drone technology.
