Services To Logistic Industry

How drones are reshaping home delivery

As this technology expands, we expect businesses to be able to deliver goods more safely, more efficiently, faster, and at a lower cost than conventional road transportation. Right now, last-mile delivery accounts for over 50% of the total cost to ship a good. In the next decade, the number of last-mile delivery vehicles on our roads is set to grow by 36%, increasing emissions by 30% and adding 11 minutes to the average commute, according to the World Economic Forum.

Industrial operations are progressing around the world, thanks to state of the art technology. Many businesses are leaning towards the adoption of autonomous technologies, like drones. For this reason, Embention has decided to announce its participation as a new member of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem, an association of companies dedicated to the advancement of drone technology and development of regulation.

Embention is a high-tech innovation-driven company, developing hardware and software solutions for the Advanced Air Mobility industry as well as autonomous systems for civil and military applications.

There are many ways UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) can be used in society. The use of drones in the logistics sector is very advantageous, enabling a wide range of applications.

They can be put-to-use in the transportation or delivery of customer purchases, which is a great solution for urban areas with heavy traffic congestion. As well as pallet scanning within distribution centers, enabling the operations team to view inventory stored at the facility, as well as search for lost merchandise in hard-to-reach spaces. Joint with security surveillance of large areas for logistics such as warehouses and factories. In addition, drones allow us to reach areas that cannot be accessed by other modes of transport. This way, it is possible to expand the radius of action of the companies that make the shipments. These vehicles are also very useful in emergency situations when rapid transport of medical and relief packages to remote areas is needed. To date, many delivery tests have been carried out focused on medical supplies.

Drones in logistics

As we already mentioned, logistics is a sector that paves the path in operational drone use cases. Luckily, national authorities all around the world recognized the potential of these. So, they’re issuing permits that allow companies to trial commercial cargo UAVs. This means that firms operate fee-charging drone services at certain times and survey customers later on. Therefore, they’re improving their offerings each time they do it.

As things are right now, UAV logistics can be divided into three categories. And these are:

  • Cargo drones. This includes all kinds of cargo activities and deliveries. So, we’re talking about distributing parcels in overpopulated areas and medicaments to remote places.
  • UAV express is a service that offers to transport a light payload in a short time period. There are many potential uses. But currently, it’s used for delivering emergency products.
  • Warehouse operations are the third category. It’s easy to automate current warehouses with drones. And they can do almost anything from inventory management all the way to security and surveillance.
