On-Demand Delivery
On-Demand Delivery · Faster Mid- to Long-Distance Delivery
On-demand air delivery for cities, tourist attractions, islands and vessels where ground journeys are slow, indirect or constrained.
Scenarios
Three On-Demand Delivery Scenarios
Delivery Scene
Island & Vessel Delivery · Across Water, On Demand
Drones carry small, time-sensitive shipments from shore to islands, between islands or directly to vessels at anchor.
From Shore to a Vessel at Anchor
Conventional anchorage supply often involves approvals, launch scheduling and tender transfers. A drone can fly directly from shore, hover above the vessel and lower the cargo onto the deck without landing.
Case Study
Zhoushan Archipelago · Island and Anchorage Drone Delivery
Serving locations including Shengsi Island, Dongji Island and Zhoushan anchorage, supplies fly directly from shore to ocean-going vessels, cutting launch-boat transfers of several hours to around a dozen minutes.
Limited Sailing Schedules
Fixed boat schedules make it hard to deliver urgent supplies promptly.
Order Online
Place orders online for an immediate response without coordinating boat schedules.
High Logistics Costs
Chartering boats and boarding vessels take time and labour, making small shipments expensive.
Lower Costs, Greater Efficiency
No boat charter or boarding is needed. Each drone carries 2–3 shipments, improving value for money.
Difficult Anchorage Supply
Vessels at offshore anchorages depend on launch boats for supplies.
Precision Delivery
Direct shore-to-island and shore-to-vessel routes use winches to deliver precisely to vessels, docks and anchorages.

Integrated Platforms: Shansong, UU Paotui and Ele.me / Taobao Instant Commerce.
Operationally Viable
People handle both ends; aircraft handle the middle leg of the journey. · 1:20+ operator-to-drone monitoring ratio · Choose automated hubs, compact sites or winch delivery according to the operating environment
Cost Advantages
Use Courier Capacity More Efficiently: Couriers handle pickup and final delivery while aircraft fly the middle leg. For the stated 5–10 km operating examples, delivery time improved by 20%–50%.
AL-4 Automated Operations: One operator remotely monitors more than 10 drones, with no pilot required on site.
Distributed OperationsExpand Service Reach
Mountain Attractions: Conventional logistics costs three times as much as in typical locations. Drones enable new purchasing opportunities.
Islands and Anchorages: Replace a two-hour wait for a boat with delivery in 15 minutes, meeting demand that would otherwise go unserved.
Adverse Weather: When courier services stop, the time advantage of drone delivery becomes even more pronounced.
Flexible Deployment
Winch Delivery: TR9 Winch requires no infrastructure at the delivery point and departs immediately after delivery.
EH1 Lifting Landing Pad: A 1.6 m² footprint, lightweight deployment and a complete unit ready for rapid commissioning.
RH1W Automated Hub: Precision autonomous take-off and landing, automated loading and unloading, and five built-in cargo containers for self-service drop-off and collection.
MH2 Logistics Hub: Integrated charging, aircraft storage and cargo storage, with multiple bays for frequent take-offs and landings.
Urban Drone Hub: A 20–30 m² site supporting at least 20 flights/hour and shared access for multiple platforms, with ground-level businesses offsetting operating costs.
