Tiivistelmä
Today, drones are considered to be on the most advanced supply chain management instruments, connect-ing warehouses to outlet points and individual customers.
Companies are looking for new markets, services, technologies, and, of course, new customers. The profit-ability of a business directly depends on the efficiency of the organization of the supply chain, and the goal of the efforts of logisticians is to have the required stocks at the right time in the right place and create a flexible supply system in which the product and the client are close to each other.
Such tasks have always faced logisticians and were solved with varying degrees of efficiency and labor costs. However, today the level of technology development is able to support any initiatives of companies pursuing ambitious goals in the field of digital transformation. Modern IT tools ensure the implementation of many requirements arising in warehouses - key links in the supply chain.
In the near future, humanity will have to solve several problems on a global scale: climate change, power-ful demographic shifts, shrinking natural resources, as well as problems with crops due to global warming in parallel with the growing demand for food.
The use of drones in the supply chain has become one of the main tasks of giant companies, each of them has already designed its own flying carrier and is already conducting tests. This article will cite the possible the current usages of drone in e-commerce logistics and the implications it might have on such field, the advantages and disadvantages of it.
