Wing changes its drone delivery process in Australia

Launched in 2019 after a five-year trial, Wing provides drone delivery services to residents of Canberra and Logan, Australia. During the Australian control associated with the Govt-19 epidemic, the demands have increased significantly and the company is forced to respond more and more.

According to EngadgetThe company will launch its pilots a pilot, during which its drones will be able to fly to the roofs of shopping centers, from which they will be able to receive customer orders.

Wing changes its distribution process for greater efficiency

Until now, when a user placed an order, the drones collected goods from warehouses or hangars rented by the brand. Merchants were forced to go to these facilities to place various orders. But, since the launch of the Wing Pilot program, deliveries have been made from vendor outlets.

This is the first time the Alphabet subsidiary has distributed from the actual location of the merchants. Wing has partnered with Vicinity Centers, an Australian business real estate group, to test this new type of delivery from the Grand Plaza shopping center on the outskirts of Logan. Since August, drones have been invading shopping centers to bring coffee, tea, medicine, health and beauty products or various food items to city dwellers.

Drone distribution is gradually being democratized in Australia and the United States

In a six-week operation from Grand Plaza, Wing has already done 2,500 deliveries. Since the beginning of the year, 50,000 deliveries have been made to the city of Queensland More than 100,000 Carried out since the service was created.

The company returns To the United States And Finland, two countries that have begun to set up pilot projects, for example, allow Christians in Virginia and Virginia to receive an order by drone.

Wing told Jesse Susskin Engadget, Australia’s head of political and social affairs “If the Grand Plaza pilot project is successful, the company could use similar models to other locations in the Visibility Center’s business property portfolio.”. By setting up this delivery process, the drone operator rents the warehouse and saves the cost of transporting the delivered goods to the logistics center.

Nevertheless, an incident took place inside the city of Campera last month: Wing’s drones were forced to stay on the ground to avoid being attacked by crows. These attacks are explained by the very extensive regional behavior of the animals during nest building. In this way, the crows protect their nests from potential invaders such as drones. The company is currently working with ornithologists to increase respect for the city’s wildlife and have a minimal impact on the lives of birds in areas where drones are delivered. Despite this event, the service remains within the city of Logan, which continues to operate its new drone delivery service.
