TECH - Amazon's Drone Delivery Service To Extend To UK And Italy | Benzinga
Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has plans to extend its drone delivery service to Britain and Italy by late next year.
As reported by Barron’s, the e-commerce giant, based in Seattle, also announced its intention to broaden drone delivery to a third U.S. state. Currently, Amazon operates drone deliveries in California and Texas.
The drones, including a new MK30 model, can function under more severe weather conditions, as explained by David Carbon, Amazon Prime Air vice president at a marketing event.
Amazon has also introduced a new robotics system “Sequoia” in a Texas logistics center. This system, featuring automated vehicles, gantry cranes, and mechanical arms, aims to make different machines more interoperable.
“Sequoia” can store stock in warehouses “up to 75 percent faster,” potentially decreasing order processing time by 25 percent, according to an Amazon statement.
