January 27, 2014 - Drones may soon offer a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional palletizing methods, as demonstrated by this videohe Netherlands.

With little superstructure or extensive hardware to install, a drone-based palletizing solution could be deployed rapidly, and should be capable of a relatively high sustained load throughput. Although the current limitation on their usefulness is clearly the weight of the carried load, this is not seen as insurmountable in the medium term – interest from companies like Amazon will continue to drive battery and control development.

With many claiming that advances in current technology are enabling a sharp growth in new material handling techniques, Demo3D provides a robust platform to demonstrate and prototype proposed solutions of this type, producing realistic videos to communicate concepts with impact.
