DRONES AS FUTURE COURIER NETWORK.
Drones are now been programmed to be the future courier network, with services spanning from mail delivery to food supplies. The Australian mail department are about to test some drones for mail delivery.This service will be very useful in rural areas, areas with inaccessible roads and war torn areas.
A consumer trial would use the drones to deliver parcels to 50 locations twice a week in an outer metropolitan location, said Ben Franzi, Australia Post general manager e-commerce platforms and marketplaces.
The technology could be especially valuable for rural customers whose homes are far away from their mail boxes. The drones would be operated by delivery drivers who would launch the drone from where they are parked on a road.
The delivery drones were developed by Melbourne company ARI Labs. They are fitted out with a high-definition camera, as well as a parachute, alarm and warning lights which can be activated as safety precautions if needed. They also send encrypted data back to a ground station so engineers can safely monitor flight activity in real time. ARI Labs hopes to be able to automate the monitoring in future.
