The increasing prominence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones has made them a popular technology in many industries.
Drones And E-commerce:
Speed is of essence in e-commerce, and the success of any business depends on the speed at which it can deliver its products and services to the target market. Companies are innovating to offer the most efficient delivery services. Amazon's announcement in 2013, that it was planning rapid delivery of products via lightweight commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), was seen as a tipping point for the later developments related to drone delivery systems worldwide. Other companies that have entered the commercial drone delivery market include United Parcel Service (UPS), Domino's Pizza, Alphabet's Wing drone, and Flytrex.
A look at some of the biggest players in commercial drone deliveries:
UPS introduced drones to deliver vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Domino's Pizza delivered pizzas using drones in 2016. Alphabet's Wing drone has partnered with Walgreens and FedEx to deliver health and wellness products and medicines.
The company is expanding its drone delivery services across numerous cities this year. Amazon is planning to launch its drone delivery service, Prime Air, and Flytrex has delivered over 85,000 items via drones across 21,350 orders, mostly fast food and groceries.
Wingcopter GmbH, a Germany-based developer of delivery drones, has partnered with ZAL Center of Applied Aeronautical Research GmbH to explore the potential of green hydrogen to power Wingcopter's delivery drones.
