At the scene of the event, Luohu District Mayor Zuo Jinping announced the launch of the first flight ceremony. A successfully completed two-way flight, marking Shenzhen's first low-altitude transportation route for gold jewelry officially opened.

The industry consensus shows that drone logistics transportation is often applicable to "urgent, dangerous, winding, expensive" transportation scenarios - that is, time is tight, the road is far, dangerous, winding, or high-value goods. The use of drones to transport gold jewelry, high-frequency transportation between cities of high-value goods, can effectively promote the gold jewelry production, processing, sales of all links in the precise connection.

"This low altitude flight carries our newly designed new products for the Year of the Dragon. As a business experience is very good.

Ao Li, executive vice general manager of Shenzhen Cui Green Jewelry Manufacturing Co. said.

At the scene of the event, the three jewelry companies involved in the test flight are praised for the drone transport flight service. "The past jewelry transportation, we are in a fixed period of time by a person to transport, with the more and more popularity of the water shell gold, to the logistics handover point is often very traffic jam, escort personnel, drivers, time, postage costs are huge. Drone transportation routes opened, do not have to worry about traffic jams and other impacts, time costs can be controlled to help us save logistics costs or more than 30%." Wen Zhidong, general manager of the brand center of Shenzhen Jinjiafu Jewelry Co. said.

In addition to the companies that participated in the test flight, a number of gold jewelry companies also expressed their intention to cooperate.

Shenzhen Huawei Jiacheng Jewelry Co., Ltd. enterprise related person in charge said.

Help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency Cost reduction exceeds 30%

Transportation of gold and other valuable goods, how to do fast, accurate and safe? The carrier of the abundant wing technology (shenzhen) limited company relevant person in charge of ChenXiaoHui in the introduction of flight technology highlights said, "this test flight using independent research and development of the ark 40 drones, models have more than 60 liters of large volume cargo compartment, the landing accuracy of centimeter level, equipped with parachute and backup battery emergency landing device, to protect the transportation safety and efficiency. "

According to reports, the company's cumulative flights in the country more than 700,000 flights, the past year in shenzhen flights amounted to 280,000 flights, at present has and three LuoHuHu Bei area larger jewelers to reach a preliminary cooperation agreement, in the future will be through the drone for the jeweler to provide jewelry appraisal, display, sale of the transportation service.

The opening of the drone low altitude transport routes for jewelry enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency provides more options.

From the point of view of manpower cost, due to the precious attribute of gold jewelry, land transportation usually adopts the escort mode of "five people and one car", with high manpower and capacity cost. Through the form of low altitude flight transportation, can reduce the enterprise cost at least 30%, for the transportation of small batch, bargaining power of small and medium-sized gold jewelry enterprises, cost reduction is more obvious.

From the time cost point of view, from Longgang Lirang Industrial Park to the water shell area, land transport needs to pass through Longgang Avenue, Wenjin North Road and other dense traffic flow of the main road and water shell area fine branch road, more than 10 kilometers of driving needs at least 26 minutes, encountered in the peak hours of more than 40 minutes each way. Direct air transportation routes can be compressed to 12 minutes, more than 1 times more efficient.

From the point of view of easing traffic pressure, in the Shuibei area, such an early urban built-up area, the daily traffic flow far exceeds the area's traffic carrying capacity, and the frequent and intensive transportation and roadside loading and unloading of goods by enterprises further aggravate the pressure on urban traffic. By transferring a large number of road transport to low altitude, reduce traffic management costs, enhance the efficiency of the area at the same time, but also to explore the three-dimensional urban transportation network is a useful experience.

Dongxiao street party committee secretary Li Zhi said: "the opening of gold jewelry low altitude transport routes is the implementation of the city's low-altitude economic high-quality development of the specific scenarios used, in line with the principle of safety, cost reduction and efficiency, to explore customized low-altitude transport routes, to promote the industry 'production and processing end' to the 'wholesale and retail sales end'. 'Wholesale and retail sales end' transportation mode change, realize the economic value and social value double drive, help the jurisdiction of the gold and jewelry industry development at the same time, more help to enhance the area business environment."
