Description
Last-mile delivery and residential pickup are the two main contributors to inefficiency in domestic shipping. Therefore, delivery companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS are looking to utilize drones to transport items. This will speed up the pace of delivery while reducing cost, time, and work. However, drone batteries only allow for a maximum of 30 minutes of interrupted flight. Hive Deliveries, therefore, will solve this problem by providing an infrastructure for the automatic swap of drone's batteries, maximizing the useful life, flight distance, and cost-effectiveness of drone delivery.
