Drones and the Future of Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services
Overview Recent developments in drone technology promise to revolutionize the fields of process management, physical distribution and logistics consulting services. The near future of these sectors is expected to feature increased drone usage, which will not only improve efficiency but also decrease operational costs. Statistics indicate 1.3 million commercial drone operations, a nearly 300% increase in drone deliveries between 2020-2021, and expected global market value to reach $43 billion by 2024. However, safety remains a prime concern. It is here that solutions like 3Laws Robotics' software come to the fore, offering safety and reliability, thus easing the path for certification.
The Future of Process Management Process management across sectors is on the cusp of change with the orchestrating prowess of drones. Businesses worldwide have adopted drones to supervise their processes, making their operations more nimble and cost-effective. Drone usage in process management has jumped by 178% in recent years. The integration of autonomous drones with Control Barrier Functions (CBFs), such as 3Laws Supervisor software, can simplify process management, providing robust safety features and proof of system robustness that eases the certification procedure.
Physical Distribution Shifts Physical distribution has seen substantial growth with drone technology. The volume of drone deliveries grew almost 300% from 2020 to 2021. Drone deliveries have solved the last-mile delivery problem, lowering costs and increasing efficiency. Products like 3Laws Supervisor can enhance the safety of these operations, minimizing downtime caused by unnecessary e-stops or crashes, making drone-enabled delivery service a reality.
Logistics Consulting Services Revolution The future of logistics consulting services is inevitably tied to drone technology. The dynamic capabilities of the 3Laws Supervisor, with its reactive collision avoidance capabilities, can help drones navigate effectively in unpredictable conditions. This adaptation is critical since, by 2023, 30% of logistics consulting services are projected to leverage drone technology to optimize operations.
