IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN
BUSINESS
(Application of drone delivery for managing logistics in
organization)

Identification of new Technology:
•The use of new technology in the business is often
described as the emerging technology.
•The identification of new technology is done on the basis
of the requirement of the business.
•In this case, the identified application of the new
technology is drone delivery.

Examples of the well known use of drone delivery:
•Dominos Pizza
•Ukrainian Postal Service
•Amazon prime air
•Mercedes

Functionality of drone delivery:
The drone delivery has some basic functionalities:
•Transfers the goods and the packages from one place to
another.
•Controlling the transportation process through the
automation.
•Creating a new delivery technique that will provide faster
delivery .
•Overcome the traffic congestion of the surface or road in the
delivery process.

Advantage of cloud computing:
•Provides faster delivery of the packages to the
destination.
•Improves the management of time.

Cont..
•Saves the energy
•Enhances accuracy
•Promotes safety.

Issues regarding drone delivery:
There are certain issues regarding the drone
delivery.
•Defects of the battery
•Expensive
•Technical familiarity needed
•Proper infrastructure.

Evaluation of technology:
•Initially proposed by Amazon at 2013.
•The idea of drone delivery was on the research stage.
•The implementation was generated from the idea
regarding environment friendly and faster delivery
service.
•It is the implementation of the machine control and
artificial intelligence.

Difference between the current cloud technology and
traditional techniques for the storage of the data:
Traditional system:
•The goods are carried by the physical system with the supervision
of human being.
•Delay in the delivery can happen.
•Can increase the traffic of the roads.
•Human error can happen.
Cloud architecture:
•Provides faster communication and delivery.
•Less chances of error.
•Chances of delay is less.

Potential of cloud computing as business solution:
•Enhances security.
•Increases the flexibility of doing business.
•Provides realistic solutions.
•Enhances the security of the data and information.
•Reduces the overhead cost.

Challenges for the business organization
regarding the implementation:
•Security issues
• Control issue
•Managing the training of the employees.
•Indulging the experts for the deployment.

Solutions and recommendations:
•The need for the adaptation should be identified.
•Proper infrastructure is needed to be implemented.
•The objectives are needed to be specific.
•Trial of the system is needed to be done before the final
implementation.

Summery:
The implementation of the drone delivery is useful and
innovative idea for managing the logistics in the organization.
There are certain opportunities those support the use of the
drone delivery in the organizations. However, along with the
advantages , there are certain issues of the drone delivery. It
can be said that the further research on this delivery technique
will mitigate the identified problems regarding drone delivery
and will make this adaptation of technology less expensive
and rational for the other organizations
