In this cooperation, both parties will combine New Century's global logistics network with Soradynamics's modular technology advantages,
Develop systems with the following functions:
Intelligent UAV nest design: support automatic take-off and landing of UAV, and seamlessly integrate with the vehicle through sliding structure;
Six-axis robot cooperative operation: realize automatic battery replacement and cargo loading of UAV, reduce the dependence on manual;
Multi-robot collaboration and scalability: support multiple drones to work at the same time.
Efficiency and cost are improved to enable sustainable growth
According to Soradynamics Inc, Micro-Hub System can reduce the last mile delivery cost by more than 50% per kilometer, reduce customer complaint rate by more than 80%, and increase order processing capacity by more than 2.5 times.
New Century CEO Ngan Ching Shun stated: "The in-vehicle drone system is highly suitable for small and medium-sized logistics companies, with low initial investment and high scalability. It also meets the rapid and flexible deployment needs of New Century in the U.S. and even the global market.
