Drones have made quite a buzz in the global supply chain scenario. They have the potential to completely revolutionize how logistics works and sky is the limit to what drones can be used for. From deliveries, to tracking—they are the next big thing in the industry!
Let’s check out how delivery companies are harnessing the power of drones:
Direct Delivery to Consumer:
If you are a B2C logistics company, drones can really change how you make deliveries. They have the ability to locate a person using smartphone data. Once you feed in the right address, they can pinpoint an exact location and successfully make the delivery. In supply chain terms, this is known as delivering to the last mile.
Keeping Track of Inventory:
Drones have the capability to take over the tedious work of stock taking and record keeping. The aim here is to efficiently automate inventory. With hi-tech robotic assistance drones can keep track of exactly what’s happening in your warehouse! All you need is an employee who can sit and control the drone! The rest will be taken care off.
Warehouse Surveillance
Video camera days are now behind us. They don’t provide the edge that drones do. As video cameras are stationery and have limited reach, drones can hover around the compound and capture every minute detail. It’s now emerging as a superior alternative to traditional video cameras. The potential to reduce theft is significant and ensures total security.
Safety for Employees
As we all know, there’s a lot of hustle-bustle inside a warehouse. Heavy boxes, forklifts, machinery and what not are spread across the entire compound. All that makes a warehouse prone to accidents for workers. Employers can look for higher risk areas where employees can get injured and record a complete picture of the incident. Drone surveillance is great to aid employees in reviewing accidents.
Whether it’s internally or while making deliveries, drones are great to have around. It can be a great investment for express delivery service companies like TCI Express. Several other air cargo, trucking and seaway logistics companies are looking towards investing in drones. It’s time you do too!
