The use of drones in the logistics management process will optimize operational efficiency in this sector. Applications are varied, from the well-known (in some countries) home delivery of purchases to customers, as well as for more methodical tasks such as inventory. However, despite the fact that this is the main trend, studies Application of supply chain technologies in Brazil indicates that only eighteen% The companies we contacted are currently actively using drones.
the study Institute of Logistics – ILOS arrived on time 28th International Supply Chain Forum. In the above evaluation, only eight% companies use this tool as a way to deliver orders to the consumer. Still, 69% of respondents use equipment to monitor warehouses, and 46% participants say the technology is useful for calculating stocks.
Second Leonardo Giulianelli, Executive partner of ILOS and one of those responsible for the study:
“Drones bring technologies that are under development and need to be regulated for safe use in urban airspace. Thus, it is natural that the use of this equipment is now more focused on the verification and safety of installations in which the environment is closed and controlled. In addition, modern drones still have load limits, and models that can carry more weight are very expensive. In other words, the cost of the technology is still a barrier to supply.”
Drones offer technologies that are under development and require regulation for safe use in urban airspace.
In Brazil, the use of drones in retail is still in its infancy.
were interviewed 80 senior managers make a survey ILOS. While many see technology resources as a strong ally for the present and the future, many companies are still at the start of adoption, far from fully utilizing the potential on offer. Some additional barriers, such as the need for regulation mentioned above, also prevent accelerated adherence.
To compile the ILOS survey, 80 senior executives were interviewed.
Features are being created to take advantage of the improved service as well as the new difficulty level required when introducing drones into everyday life. Many systems are still in their early stages and are focused on features that would require mechanical and repetitive tasks if they were to be reproduced by hand. Anyway, many people know about the benefits of these tools.
