Application: Goods Delivery
Description
UAV’s may be used for delivering parcels and all types of goods to rural areas, as well as within urban areas. Last-mile deliveries using UAV’s allow delivery times to be reduced while also relieving traffic congestion in densely populated cities. Rural areas benefit as they become instantly accessible and connected. UAV’s can also be used in agriculture for crop planting and spraying or to deliver medical supplies where the “delivery” is over a large area that is otherwise difficult to reach.
Devices
- UAV with upgraded payload capacity. The UAV may not only handle delivery of goods, but also optimize shipping logistics such as real-time tracking and monitoring of packages, route planning due to environmental changes, and timely delivery.
