At the beginning of August, that is, when Wang Chen was waiting for the people above to come.

In the domestic market, DJI has begun to take SF Express to find a suitable location in the five municipalities directly under the central government.

And the first test site was chosen in the magic capital.

In his words, Wang Chen stayed here, and if there was really any problem, it would be easy to solve it.

Moreover, Modu is also one of the few cities in China that has fully completed 5G coverage.

Coupled with the large population and busy delivery industry, it is a good place to test the stability of the new platform.

At present, DJI has joined forces with SF Express to have a detailed plan for drone delivery.

Through discussions with EMS, the scope of drone delivery is currently locked in the light business.

That is, the weight does not exceed twenty kilograms.

In fact, this is also the largest part of the express delivery industry, accounting for 40% of the overall share.

In terms of planning, they adopted the idea of one city and one main station, distributed connection, and series formation.

For example, the magic city will first build a huge spherical structure on the outskirts of the city.

The building will be surrounded by a large number of windows, each of which will be a hatch for drones to enter and exit.

Some of the original delivery workers will be called back, and after passing the training, they will be re-employed in this general control center.

Their mission is to remotely control the drone via the network.

Basically, this terminal can accommodate 300,000 pieces of equipment, and if one person controls six units, the entire center will almost accommodate nearly 5,000 people.

And this is only the starting point, the general control center is only responsible for releasing the drone and charging and maintaining the drone.

The actual place of loading is still at the various inventory points in the Modu area.

These stock points are redeployed to maximize coverage.

It is expected to set up twelve points in the magic capital, which can basically cover all areas of the magic capital.

After coverage, the materials delivered from all over the country will still be sorted at these points.

All those that can be transported by air will be reported to the general control center by scanning the code.

The controller of these drones will also be divided according to the area, and after receiving the order, the drone can take off and go directly.

It is equivalent to the previous dispatch method, but it is much faster and more convenient than before.

And at these stations, the drone can also be replaced with batteries, so that it can be used continuously without going back to the headquarters to recharge.

And in terms of drone design, DJI has come up with a feasible plan.

It was redesigned in the framework of the previous agricultural drone T40.

The original four axes have been increased to six axes, and a display area has been added in the middle, so that objects can be placed directly into it, so as to avoid damage and omission.

At the same time, for convenience, a small robotic arm will be added on the left and right sides.

Below the drone display area is the core of the whole set of equipment.

In terms of battery, graphene technology can support the drone to fly continuously for 16 hours.

The surrounding sensing equipment is also equipped with DJI's latest technology.

Ability to accurately identify surrounding obstacles.

And for the first time, a 360-degree non-blind angle detection radar was mounted on the UAV.

The detection range is up to 2 kilometers.

Two sets of systems are also used inside the entire drone, with artificial intelligence as the main auxiliary human control.

In order to increase efficiency, in principle, one operator can control six drones at the same time.

Because most of the route planning is the responsibility of the intelligent program, what the controller has to do is to ensure that the drone does not have problems when picking up and placing the delivery.

In addition to these, the EMS also limits the parameters of the drone based on various data.

It's not just the cargo weight... Speed, flight altitude, route are strictly controlled.

The role of that radar is to ensure that the drone always flies around the least number of people when flying.

In the most prosperous area of the magic capital, a no-fly zone has also been set up to prevent casualties caused by drone crashes.

Anyway, the main delivery direction of the drone is civilian accommodation buildings and office areas.

Most of the business area is heavy materials and the quantity is not small, which is not within the matching range of drones.

Rather than just a few customers, it's better to keep your hands safe.

Not to mention the fact that the drones themselves are inspected every other month.

All of this is done to ensure the safety of drone delivery.

Now DJI and they have come to the magic capital to find the location of the general control center first.

Such a large ball certainly cannot be placed in the center of the city, and can only be found in the suburbs.

Fortunately, there are a lot of plains around the magic capital, and it is not too difficult to find a suitable place.

After the position is determined, it is time to enter the stage of actual hand.

It is said that SF Express has withdrawn a large amount of internal funds in order to promote the express delivery business of this drone.

The magic capital is just the beginning, and this first control center is a model house, which must be done well.

Even SF Express has already considered that this general control center must not only be safe, but also become a new landmark in the local area.

Not the biggest, but it must be good-looking.

This also makes it easier for them to settle in other cities in the future.

"A landmark, a new set of smart experiences. Technology changes life, and the future is just around the corner. ”

This is the advertisement that SF is preparing to make.

There is also competition between cities.

In order to develop many second- and third-tier cities, eyeballs are definitely the best way to become famous.

The landmark thing sounds lofty, but in fact, the degree of cost is related to the amount of work.

For example, the Oriental Pearl and the Forbidden City are also landmarks, but their values are different.

In the same way, although I dare not guarantee that I can invest a fund in the Oriental Pearl in every city.

But at least a few hundred million will not be comparable to ordinary buildings.

Even SF Express has been recruiting talents around the world, just to ensure that the general control center of each city has a different appearance.

It's going to be a very expensive plan, but it's certainly not going to work out badly.

Because the drone business brings not only itself and DJI, but also the 5G service of the flower factory.

As long as you are willing to talk, some second- and third-tier cities are definitely willing to give some preferential policies.

They are not greedy, they just need to relax their flight conditions and give more flight paths.

You must know that drones also involve an airspace problem.

If you put most of the excellent corridors under your own name, then you won't be afraid of drones even if you have one connection.

If your own corridor is good, the delivery speed will be fast, and even relying on the policy, you can be better than you in some places.

This is the advantage of eating crabs first.

However, the premise is that your own capital chain can keep up.

Fortunately, after cross-holding with DJI, DJI promises to give huge concessions in terms of drones.

Although it cannot completely alleviate the financial pressure, it can at least reduce the tension level a lot.

You must know that the cost of the drones designed by DJI is as high as 50,000 units alone.

If you really want to sell it at retail price, you can't bear it at all.
