ProLAND: Production logistics system using autonomously navigating transport drones

The background of the research project is the increasing complexity within production, which on the one hand limits the space for production-inherent logistic structures, and on the other hand demands flexible and fast supply of goods with small quantities. The use of previously unused airspace for the supply of goods is a relevant approach to address this issue. For the success of transport drones, in addition to the purely technical aspects of the actual drone system, especially process-related, ergonomic and economic aspects are to be researched.

This is where the externally funded project "ProLAND" takes up the challenge and develops a holistic logistics system together with the project partners, considering the above-mentioned topics.
