Abstract

In order to respond to the challenges of modern society, the organization of logistic processes requires synergistic optimization effects of physical processes and application of innovative technologies. The emphasis is based on continuous optimization of the processes with the aim of faster, more quality and more cost-effective services to the end user. In this paper possibility and potential of UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) application in logistics processes will be explained. Processes as stock inventory in warehouses and others can be improved with application of UAV.
