Namuhla, umtshali-zimali wase-Indonesia onentshisekelo kanye ne-Aviation Management kanye ne-Industrial Drone Franchise Company, I-East West Aeronautical (EWA), imemezele isiphakamiso sokutshalwa kwezimali esingamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-200 “soKwandiswa Kwephrojekthi ye-EWA,” okuzokwandisa ngendlela emangalisayo amandla e-Air Cargo Logistics e-Pease International Airport, e-Portsmouth, NH, kusukela ngoJanuwari 2021.
Ukwandiswa kwe-EWA kuholwa yizidingo zempahla ezikhula njalo ngenxa yokwanda kokuthengwa kwe-inthanethi kanye neqiniso lokuthi abathengi abafuni ukulinda. Inqubo yokuthengisa nokuthenga ku-inthanethi, eyaziwa nangokuthi (i-e-commerce) idlangile. Imikhiqizo eminingi indiza ngomoya futhi igcinwe okwesikhashana endaweni yokugcina impahla (Cross-Dock) ize ithengwe yikhasimende. I-EWA ithuthukisa indawo yokukhumula imikhumbi e-Pease International, enendawo yokwethula izindiza ezithwala impahla ngaphakathi, ngaphandle kwesimo sezulu, nesikhala esisele sokukhiqiza ubukhulu bemboni yayo i-Areal Drones.
I-Portsmouth, NH, iyindlela enengqondo ehlukile yeBoston yokusebenza kwempahla. Ibanga elingamakhilomitha angama-60 kuphela ukusuka endaweni enkulu, idolobha elincane lasePortsmouth lixhumeke eBoston ngojantshi kanye nothelawayeka ophakathi nendawo futhi linechweba elinempilo. Okuningi nge-Seaport esihlokweni esilandelayo kamuva. I-Pease Airport isesimweni esiyingqayizivele; I-Pease inomunye wemizila yezindiza ende kunazo zonke eMelika njengoba yake yaba yikhaya le-United States Air Force 509 Bomb Wing futhi yaqokwa njengendawo yokufika ephuthumayo yeNASA Space Shuttle. I-Pease ingamukela izindiza ezinkulu ezithwala impahla emhlabeni wonke, okuhlanganisa nendiza enkulukazi yaseRussia i-Antonov 225, enkulu kune-747.
Ngemva komsebenzi ophumelelayo njengomshayeli wamabhanoyi, umshayeli wokuhlola, uchwepheshe wezokundiza, kanye noMphathi wezindiza, isikhulu esiphezulu se-East West Aeronautical, uKaputeni u-Eric Robinson, manje unwebelela kuLogistics, ehlanganisa ulwazi lwakhe lobuchwepheshe nolwezokundiza emikhankasweni eminingi. UCaptain Robinson uthole umsebenzi wakhe wokuqala e-Pease AFB eneminyaka engu-14 ngaphambi kokubhalisa eMbuthweni Womoya eneminyaka engu-17, ehamba umhlaba wonke, futhi wabuyela e-Pease AFB njengosomabhizinisi ngemuva kokuhamba iminyaka engu-25. UCaptain Robinson usezingxoxweni eziqotho neqembu labatshalizimali abagxile kakhulu abafuna ukusekela izinhlelo ze-EWA ngama- $200,000,000.
I-Pease isikhumulo sezindiza esikhulu lapho ingxenye enkulu yendiza ingasetshenziswa selokhu kwahamba uMbutho Wasemoyeni eminyakeni edlule; i-Air Force Reserves ihlala isebenza kodwa isebenzisa ingxenye encane yalokho okwakudingeka. Ifaka isikhala esanele sokupaka izindiza ezinkulu, kubiza kuphela ama-dollar angu-12 ukupaka i-747 yakho ngobusuku obubodwa—imali encane kunezindleko zokupaka imoto yabagibeli amahora ambalwa egalaji lokupaka elimaphakathi nedolobha. I-Pease ihambisana kakhulu nezindiza ezinkulu. Isikhumulo sezindiza siqokwe njengendawo Yezohwebo Zangaphandle (i-FTZ) kanye ne-HUB-Z, ehlisa kakhulu izindleko zokucubungula impahla. Ngezindleko zayo eziphansi kanye nezimali ezikhokhwayo, i-Pease International ikhanga kakhulu kumakhasimende wezimpahla kunezinye izikhumulo zezindiza ezinkulu zasemadolobheni.
Lezi zitatimende ziqinisekiswa uMqondisi Omkhulu we-Pease International Airport uPaul Brean. UBrean usanda kuxoxwa naye esihlokweni sikaJulayi 2020 seForster.com esithi “Ikusasa Lebhizinisi Elicatshangwayo Ngesikhumulo Sezindiza Samazwe Ngamazwe SasePortsmouth.” Ukholelwa ukuthi insizakalo yamazwe ngamazwe engabizi kakhulu ingenzeka, kanye nokwenza isikhumulo sezindiza i-Portsmouth International e-Pease sibe ikhaya lesikhungo sezimpahla zomoya kanye nekhaya endaweni yokunakekela nokulungisa indiza.
“Sinenhlanhla enkulu ngokuthola leli thuba, futhi nginethemba lokuthi singaletha okungenani imisebenzi emisha engu-150 yezobuchwepheshe nezokuphatha endaweni yaseNew England Seacoast, singafaki imisebenzi yokwesekwa,” kusho uRobinson.
Ngaphandle kwezimpahla zokuthutha emoyeni, ama-UAV industrial drones, i-East West isebenzisa amakhono ayo obuchwepheshe ukuguqula izindiza zabagibeli zibe izindiza ezithwala impahla. “Sinamasu ngoba asinciki emgudwini owodwa wemali engenayo kodwa sinemikhakha eminingi yobuchwepheshe,” kusho uRobinson.
