This February, we have reported that a domestic start-up company "Linkall" has developed a prototype UAV SmartBee (Intelligent Bee), has been able to transport the pizza on a small scale through drones, in addition they have a set of integrated ground station control and air unmanned aircraft delivery solutions. At the time, it seemed a bit impossible to send pizza through drones, and today the largest courier company in the country has begun testing and using no delivery.

According to Shun Fung today out of the "internal video" show, Shun Fung indeed "unmanned aircraft Express" service, mainly to solve remote areas of express delivery problems. It is understood that shun Fung "unmanned aircraft" by Shun Fung Independent research and development (may use the open source of the firmware), built-in navigation system, only need to set a good destination in advance and flight lines can be automated delivery. "UAV" flight altitude of about 100 meters, the error can be controlled within 2 meters.

Previously, chief analyst at Forrester Abroad, John Robb, had envisioned a similar scheme to build an hour-long logistics network via drone dronenet. The basic idea is that 1 of the users will put the parcel into the apron at home; 2 The UAV arrives, takes the parcel and flies away; 3 The UAV delivers the parcel to the apron at the specified location.

The likely scenario is that 1 brother left his iphone at my house. I wanted to give it back, but he lived 30 miles away; 2 so I made a phone call for a drone, fill in the ID of the container on the order (to be simple, I can send the thing directly to the drone that I bought) 3) 10 minutes later, the drone arrives and automatically takes the container. 4) After several transfer stations, the UAV arrived at my brother's apron, unloaded the container and sent my brother email/SMS notification, 5 The cost is about 0.25 U.S. dollars/10 miles, then this time the freight is 0.75 U.S. dollars, the time is about 1 hours.

In the future, Shun Fung Express may also achieve the above scenario.
