Today, container ships transport more than 90% of all goods in the world, but it can take over a month for those goods to sail from Beijing to New York. Cargo drones could be the disruption needed in a global supply chain that has been largely unchanged since the 1950s.
By land, trucks move nearly 71 percent of all freight tonnage in the United States, but there’s a shortage of truck drivers in the United States. So how do you speed up shipments while keeping personnel low? The future of shipping looks very much unmanned.

How Amazon Drone Delivery Will WorkTech Vision843,452 views | 9,989 | December 3 2020 23:19:59 (986 comments)[ Read more … ]
It’s well over a decade since Amazon launched its Prime delivery service; in fact it was 2007 when the company first introduced us to unlimited next-day shipping on what was at the time almost a million products. But in 13 years, we have seen little change. That is, until recently.
Many areas now offer same-day delivery, but behind closed doors Amazon had been working on an ambitious plan to realise almost instant delivery. The goal? Just 30 minutes, from the click of the ‘order now’ button to the tangible products, in our hands.
Every delivery company can agree that the final mile or so of a product’s journey is the most expensive. As it leaves a shipping container, and steps away from the lorry’s vessel, it enters the smallest vehicle yet – vans, and sometimes cars. Rather than carrying millions of products, a driver can now only carry a few dozen. Employing thousands of drivers comes at incredible cost to shipping companies.

Amazon’s delivery drones will change the company forever and save the e-commerce giant billions of dollars. It costs far less to maintain a fleet of drones than to operate ground transportation. Amazon Prime Air will reduce the company’s shipping costs dramatically. Drone delivery will make human delivery drivers obsolete, and electric drones will allow Amazon to reduce fuels costs significantly. Amazon spends about $47 billion per year on shipping, and those costs could be almost entirely eliminated thanks to delivery drones. Amazon’s most recent Prime Air drone prototype is capable of vertical takeoff and landing as well as sustained forward flight. It can deliver packages of up to five pounds and detect obstacles using ultrasonic, thermal, and visual sensors. The state-of-the-art prototype has a total of six rotors – two double blade rotors and four triple blade rotors. The new drones are fully autonomous and can travel up to 15 miles. Amazon has been delivering packages via drone in the UK since 2016. Amazon has a fulfillment center on the outskirts of Cambridge, UK and can use delivery drones to deliver small packages to nearby customers. The delivery drones can land safely in customers’ yards and then return to the fulfillment center without the need for human operators. Amazon tests its drones in the countryside surrounding Cambridge because the large fields make perfect landing spots for drones. Amazon recently received FAA approval to operate delivery drones in the US. Keep watching to learn more about Amazon Prime Air.

How Drones Will REPLACE COURIERS In 2022Future Mission3,995 views | 137 | August 7 2021 02:53:10 (21 comments)[ Read more … ]
As human needs and wants continue to rise, supply chains are also pushing beyond their boundaries to meet up consumers’ demands by incorporating machines into their delivery system.
Drone, the common name for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), has been around for decades as they were initially designed for military use. However, in the last decades, drones have become commercially available and are popular with photographers and videographers seeking high vantage points. Fire departments and disaster response agencies also use them the same way.
As drones are becoming more versatile and cheaper to manufacture, many industries such as the e-commerce industry now understand its capabilities, including being a delivery machine.
Drones are primarily used for time-sensitive deliveries such as medicine or deliveries that would be difficult or take time to make using traditional delivery methods. Delivery drones can change last-mile delivery economics for smaller and lighter packages by replacing many deliveries currently made by conventional delivery vehicles. Now, let’s look into how drone deliveries work and the benefits and limitations of drone deliveries.
With the advancement in drone technologies, drone seems to be the future of e-commerce. Several major companies such as Wing Aviation, Walmart, Amazon Prime Air, and UPS Flight Forward are piloting drone packages delivery. They have joined in the race to be the leader of drone package deliveries.
Delivery drones are designed to improve efficiency while decreasing the workforce needed for the transportation of goods. In the U.S., the government allowed drone deliveries to start small, approving the UPS Flight Forward program to deliver prescription medicine in rural areas.
Retailers such as Amazon and Walmart hope these regulations soon expand to include commercial deliveries. Amazon’s program, dubbed “Prime Air,” features a fleet of octocopters that will make deliveries of packages 5 pounds or less within a range of 7.5 miles.
Drone delivery has come to change the retail logistics networks. If companies move towards a drone delivery system, then last-mile delivery will be possible and efficient. Last-mile delivery is the final leg of the journey from a fulfillment center to a customer. Transportation from local warehouses to the customer location, typically the customers’ homes, is the most expensive and inefficient leg of the supply chain. Instead of moving trucks full of goods over hundreds of miles for hours where the driver has to stop at each address, select the right package and carry it to the customer’s door, drone deliveries could make this simpler and even faster. So how do drone deliveries operate?
Drones generally use 4-8 propellers and rechargeable Li-Po batteries to generate thrust and attach packages underneath the drone’s body. Delivery drones are operated autonomously or remotely through a ground-controlled station. The drone operators potentially oversee multiple flying drones at once, keeping track of every package delivered via wireless network links to each drone.
In some applications, drones do not need human pilots at all — they adhere to routes that have been programmed into their operating systems. These advanced machines rely on GPS systems and satellite technology to follow paths to deliver packages to the customer’s location.
Just like any aircraft, delivery drones have to anticipate the laws of physics and aerodynamics. The design of delivery drones appears in all shapes and sizes. Most commercial drones are rotary drones, which can fly because of the rotating propellers that sit horizontally above or below the payload. The thrust generated by the rotation of the propellers, along with stabilization technology, maintains the drone’s position in the air. Also, the rotating propellers give drones the ability to move up, down, forward, and backward, stopping and turning almost on a dime to avoid obstacles or change course.
Drones have internal sensors to avoid obstacles, whether a bird, tree or even another drone, to prevent in-air and ground accidents. The built-in sensors and cameras enable the drone to identify a nearby object’s proximity and speed, enabling the drone to take a responsive action to avoid the obstacle.
Drones can be as small as bag packs; or as large as small airplanes. So, for drones use for delivery purposes, the extra load carried by the drone is always considered. More significant packages require a more robust and efficient performance drone to carry out the delivery operation.
The introduction of delivery drones has stimulated discussion of what the technology can accomplish in terms of reduced vehicle travel. This brings us to the benefits of the drone delivery system over the traditional vehicle delivery system.

Elevation documentary: how drones will change citiesDezeen218,234 views | 2,713 | May 21 2018 11:51:27 (101 comments)[ Read more … ]
Elevation is a short documentary by online magazine Dezeen about how drones will transform cities – revolutionising how people travel, how goods are delivered and how buildings look and are constructed.
“Aerial highways” will relieve pressure on roads as deliveries and human transportation take to the skies in unmanned electric vehicles.
Architecture will change dramatically as the ground floor entrance is replaced by rooftop landing, parking and recharging zones and deliveries arrive via specially constructed portals on the sides of buildings.
This vision of the future is set out in the 18-minute film, which features interviews with architects and industry experts including Norman Foster, Paul Priestman, Liam Young and Anab Jain.
Yet as well as painting a picture of a utopian drone-filled future, Elevation also hints at more sinister uses of the technology, exploring potential threats to our privacy and safety.
