The drones<\/strong>, a mixture of airplane and unmanned helicopter, started in the military and defence sector -with surveillance functions- and later extended to civilian uses: entertainment, photography, fire extinction… now, little by little, the turn has come to logistics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The drones are capable of making an inventory in a logistics warehouse, transporting goods<\/strong> by air or carrying out security tasks<\/strong>. In the United States, some companies have already begun testing for use in the distribution of products to the end customer. Many companies, including Stock Logistic<\/a>, already value the real options of using this type of technology for their warehousing services.<\/p>\n

The majority of experts assure that the use of drones in the logistics sector is very advantageous<\/strong>, although, to date, there are also many barriers for it to become popular.<\/p>\n

Advantages of using drones<\/h2>\n

Some of the advantages of using this technology are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Savings in distribution costs.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Faster<\/strong> deliveries.<\/li>\n
  3. Possibility of reaching areas that are difficult to access.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. They reduce urban traffic and CO2 emissions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Helps to control inventories<\/strong> and movements within the warehouse itself.<\/li>\n
  6. No shifts are needed<\/strong>: drones can operate 24 hours 365 days a year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    High cost technology<\/h2>\n

    However, experts also speak clearly of the limitations on the use of drones today. Those limits would be related to the fact that it is a high cost technology<\/strong> – it requires a lot of research and development – there is underdeveloped legislation<\/strong> – it produces loopholes – the carrying capacity is limited<\/strong> – we cannot include large volumes – and the air traffic routes<\/strong> are not yet defined or adapted for drones.<\/p>\n

    Drones for shipments<\/h2>\n

    One of the mentioned advantages of this method is the cost saving. In fact, it is lower when compared to a lorry because it is easier to deliver. On the other hand, as airspace is less congested<\/strong>, deliveries can be faster. In addition, drones make it possible to reach areas that cannot be reached by other modes of transport<\/strong>. In this way it is possible to extend the radius of action of the companies that carry out the shipments. To date, a number of delivery tests have been carried out on medical supplies<\/strong>, for example in remote areas of Rwanda, and the programme was subsequently extended to Ghana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
