Chapter 112 Master Control Center and Landmark Plan

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

In the domestic market, DJI has begun to take SF Express to find suitable locations in the five municipalities directly under the Central Government.

And the first test site was chosen in Shanghai.

In the words of the two of them, Wang Chen stayed here, and if any problems really happened, it would be easy to solve them.

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

Coupled with the large population and the busy express industry, it is very suitable for testing the stability of the new platform.

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

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

That is, the weight does not exceed [-] kilograms.

This is actually where the bulk of the express delivery industry lies, accounting for 40.00% of the overall share.

In terms of planning, they adopted the idea of ​​one master station in one city, distributed connections, and series formation.

For example, Modu will first build a huge spherical building on the outskirts of the city.

A large number of windows will be set up around the building, and each window will be a hatch for drones to enter and exit.

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

Their task is to remotely control drones through the Internet.

Basically, this central station can accommodate 30 sets of equipment, and if one person controls six sets, the entire center can accommodate nearly 5000 people.

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

The place where the goods are actually loaded is still at various stock points in the Modu area.

These stock points will be re-deployed to maximize coverage.

It is estimated that twelve points will be set up in the magic city, which can basically cover all areas of the magic city.

After coverage, materials delivered across the country will still be sorted at these points.

Anything that can be transported by air will be reported to the master control center by scanning the code.

The operators of these drones will also divide them according to the area, and after receiving the order, they can let the drone take off and go directly there.

It is equivalent to the previous way of dispatching orders, but it is much faster and more convenient than before.

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

In terms of drone design, DJI has come up with a feasible solution.

Based on the previous agricultural drone T40, it has been redesigned.

The original four-axis is increased to six-axis, and a display area is added in the middle, where objects can be placed directly, thus avoiding damage and omission.

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

And below the drone storage area is the core of the whole set of equipment.

In terms of batteries, relying on graphene technology, it can support the continuous flight of drones for sixteen hours.

The surrounding sensing equipment also adopts the latest technology of DJI.

Able to accurately identify surrounding obstacles.

And for the first time, a 360-degree non-dead angle detection radar is mounted on the drone.

The light detection range is as high as 2000 meters.

Two systems are also used inside the entire drone, with artificial intelligence as the main assisted manpower 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 in charge of the intelligent program, what the controller has to do is to ensure that there will be no problems when the drone picks up and releases the express delivery.

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

Not only the cargo weight but also the speed, flight altitude and route are strictly controlled.

The function of the radar is to ensure that the drone always flies around the place with the least people when flying.

In the most prosperous area of ​​Shanghai, a no-fly zone has also been set up to prevent the drone from crashing and causing casualties.

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

Most of the commercial areas are heavy materials and the quantity is not small, which is not within the matching range of drones.

It is better to protect first-hand safety than for so few customers.

Not to mention that the drone itself undergoes a major inspection every other month.

Everything is to ensure the safety of drone delivery.

Now DJI and the others come to Shanghai to find a location for the master control center.

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

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of plains around Modu, so it is not too difficult to find a suitable place.

After the location is determined, it is time to enter the stage of actual hands.

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

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

Even SF Express has already considered it. This master control center must not only be safe but also become a new local landmark.

Don't ask for the biggest but must look good.

This will also facilitate their subsequent settlement in other cities.

"A landmark building, a brand-new smart experience. Technology changes life, and the future is just around the corner."

This is the advertisement that SF Express is going to publish.

There is also competition between cities.

In order to develop in many second- and third-tier cities, gaining attention is definitely the best way to become famous.

Landmarks sound grand, but in fact, the cost is linked to the amount of work.

For example, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Forbidden City are both landmarks but have different values.

For the same reason, although I can't guarantee that I can invest an Oriental Pearl in every city.

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

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

This will be a very expensive plan, but the effect will certainly not be bad.

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

As long as they are willing to negotiate, some second- and third-tier cities are definitely willing to offer some preferential policies.

I am not greedy, I just need them to relax their flight conditions and give more flight paths.

You must know that drones also involve an airspace issue.

If I put most of the excellent corridors under my own name, I won't be afraid even if all four links and one reach free up drones.

The corridors of my own house are good, and the delivery speed is fast. Even relying on policies, I can be better than you in some places.

This is the advantage of eating crabs first.

However, the premise is that one's own capital chain can keep up.

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

Although it can't completely relieve the financial pressure, it can at least reduce the tension a lot.

You must know that the cost of the drones currently designed by DJI is as high as [-].

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