With major leaps in E-Commerce and the need for fast and contactless deliveries, we will soon see drones landing on Address pads placed on people\u2019s balconies and terraces. Drone deliveries have already started in the West for medical and emergency supplies. Retail giants like Amazon, Walmart etc. have already roped in drones on their service platforms. India is soon to follow suit having had test runs lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent pandemic has highlighted the unpredictability of the human element which has resulted in an upsurge of technology driven aerial supplies worldwide. The size of the global drone package delivery market is estimated to reach $8 billion by 2027, at a significant CAGR of 41.8%. A recent survey predicts that in 2026, more than one million drones will be carrying out retail deliveries, up from 20,000 today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While multiple industries will leverage drone technology to bring innovation to their business areas, including surveillance, research, last-mile delivery, etc. the gap that remains in the ecosystem is that of geo-tagged digital addresses. Drones do not understand the text-based language of present-day addresses like 17\/3 Old Palasia, Indore. We need a digital language of addressing which will provide the exact latitude and longitudinal coordinates that can be picked up by the drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pataa navigations Pvt. Ltd. is one such company that is trying aggressively to turn this dream of drone deliveries into reality in India. It\u2019s mobile app Pataa is the only language in the country which converts latitude-longitude into a personalised code like KUMAR100, which is easy to share, explain and now the language of the future that drones can understand. Pataa has come up with Address Pads which have 1 meter size QR codes which help the drone in the last meter optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process of drone deliveries can be a complicated one owing to confusing and unnamed streets. While urbanisation has grown rampantly in the country, it has been very haphazard. Delivery personnel, Logistics and supply chain management companies already find it difficult to navigate to the right location. Delivery becomes safe and easy when landing sites, pick-up and drop- off are added with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Companies can be benefitted by faster air deliveries using shorter and direct routes with drones which is good news for the future. Packages will be delivered to precise geo-tagged addresses with an accuracy of 3*3 meters, whether you live in a town, village, jungle or on top of a hill. People living in harsh terrains and remote, inaccessible locations can look forward to better mainstream integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contactless deliveries with limited human intervention are the need of the hour. Not only are they safe and hygienic but they also reduce carbon footprint as energy consumption decreases. Technology enhancements like digital addresses, address pads etc. must be invested in by companies and consumers alike because drone delivery services will continue to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
