Order the product from the dedicated site

JP Rakuten Logistics, a joint venture for Japan Post and Japan Post, conducted an on -demand delivery test using drones in Chiba Prefecture. This demonstration experiment is the first demonstration test for on -demand delivery by drones for an ultra -high -rise apartment in urban areas. ■ Delivery by drone to a high -rise apartment JP Rakuten Logistics participates in the Chiba City Drone Distribution Subcommittee Technical Study Group, which aims to realize drone delivery in urban areas, and provide on -demand delivery using drones as part of its initiatives. I did an experiment. In the demonstration experiment, the "Rakuten Drone" logistics aircraft with a maximum load capacity of 7 kg is used. From the parking lot of the logistics facility "Ichikawa 3" in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, to the rooftop heliport of the "THE Makuhari BayFront Tower & Resident", which is over 100m high in Chiba city Delivered supplies such as boxes, emergency foods, and pharmaceuticals by drone. From the logistics facility to the condominium, we flew 12 km one way, including the Tokyo Bay Seaside and the sky on public roads, at about 50 km/h, and delivered it in about 17 minutes. It is like a demonstration experiment ■ During the flight, the product ordered from the dedicated site that can check the location information can be confirmed by the drone, and the contents of the distribution system of the logistics warehouse will be checked, and the product will be picked and packed. The drone equipped with the product automatically flies to the delivery destination, but the drone status and peripheral situation in the flight remotely monitored. The orderer can also check the location information in real time. Following the results of the demonstration experiment, JP Rakuten Logistics Hideaki Mukai (Dorone / UGV Division General Manager) commented as follows. ┌─────────── From going straight on the sea, you can fly without worrying about traffic congestion and obstacles, and I think that the drone is electric, so it is an efficient and clean delivery means. I would like to cooperate with the results obtained in this demonstration experiment with related places and contribute to creating a more comfortable society. (Mr. Mukai) └─────────────
