Logistics underwent a transformation with the arrival of drones, which Amazon used to deliver light packages, helping to reduce congestion in large cities. Today, drones are key in warehouse inventory management, with companies like Airvant Drones highlighting their ability to complete inventories in just one hour, a task that could manually take an entire day. DHL has spearheaded the use of drones, managing to process up to 600 pallets per hour. Additionally, artificial intelligence has revolutionized tasks such as truck unloading, pallet organization, and order picking, enabling continuous operations and increasing productivity.

La Inteligencia Artificial se ha convertido en el motor principal de la logística inteligente, especialmente durante picos de demanda como la temporada navideña.

Aplicaciones clave de la IA:.

Empresas como DHL y Amazon señalan que para la tercera década del siglo estamos entrando en la cuarta revolución industrial, caracterizada por el uso avanzado de estas tecnologías. Según el ingeniero Hiroshi Ishiguro,[1]​ mientras la robótica tiene décadas de existencia, la IA aún presenta un gran potencial de desarrollo. Un informe de DHL[2]​ destaca que la IA será crucial para optimizar cadenas de suministro autónomas y basadas en datos, aunque inicialmente su implementación estará limitada a grandes empresas debido a los costos.

Drones in the field of logistics

In 2013, Amazon introduced drones into logistics as an alternative to distribute light packages, presenting them as Deutsche Post. Drones are an attractive option for the distribution of goods, as they could alleviate congestion in large cities, where trucks contribute significantly to mobility problems.[3] Currently, drones are being used to efficiently manage inventory in warehouses and distribution centers. Companies like Airvant Drones stand out with their slogan ''Measurements from the air for solutions on the ground'', underlining the ability of these drones to carry out inventories quickly and accurately. Comparatively, while an employee may take a day to take an inventory, a drone can complete it in just one hour with a high degree of accuracy. DHL has led in the implementation of drones for inventory management, optimizing processes, reducing labor costs and significantly improving operational efficiency, reaching a maximum reading of 600 pallets per hour, compared to the 200 pallets per hour that are achieved manually.
