SEAT and Grupo Sesé link up via drone

  • For the first time in Spain, two companies launch a parts delivery service using drones
  • The drones will guarantee just in time delivery of parts in only 15 minutes
  • This innovation will increase efficiency and flexibility at the Martorell plant

The #Seat factory in Martorell is the first Spanish plant to receive components via #drone delivery. In collaboration with Grupo Sesé, the Spanish carmaker has a pioneering service connecting Sesé’s logistics centre in Abrera with the #Seat factory in Martorell using drones.

The first parts delivery service between two production plants in Spain by #drone was officially made today, and from now on will continue with deliveries of steering wheels and airbags to the #Seat assembly lines. The pilot project is being carried out under the supervision of the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) and will go forward in an experimental phase with several flights per day.

The addition of drones will improve flexibility on the production lines by connecting the just over two kilometre distance that separates both facilities for just in time fast deliveries in only 15 minutes, a process which is currently done by truck and takes 90 minutes. With this move, every time a part is needed on the production line, delivery will be made quickly, thus improving efficiency.
