Drone Logistics - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

Drone Logistics 

^{It will come, it is question of time, it is coming and now it has come.  This is the saga of Drones!  Few years ago, whenever I saw drones in wedding receptions for photography, never did I imagine that one day drone would play such an important role in saving someone’s life! We saw its efficacy when drones were used to capture images of people struck in an ashram.  Now and then, we hear its role in defense.} 

^{Now it is official.  The Drone Liberalization policy is out that seeks to increase the pay load of drones from the current 300 to 500 kg.  Entry of drone in logistics will be a major disruptor never seen before.  Imagine, you order medicines and in a little while, a SMS comes to your mobile to come out of the house to pick up the medicines from the Delivery (Drone) boy after proving your credentials!} 

^{What are the advantages?} 

^{0  1.    Cut costs}

^{0  2.    Reduce delivery time}

^{0  3.    Optimizing human resources}

^{0  4.    Minimize dependence on road transport}

^{0  5.    No or less road pollution} 

^{Drone deliveries are quite suitable for time sensitive deliveries, temperature-controlled products, remote and inaccessible location and location affected by natural calamities.} 

^{It is all okay.  Tell me who will regulate the Drone traffic in the sky?}
