Google to Use Robots for Parcel Delivery
With Amazon announcing the launch of their Prime Air Project, Google too has decided to pitch itself as a worthy competitor in the parcel delivery race with the use of robots - a concept that Parcel2Go thinks will take the retail industry by storm.
Technology's ability to take huge leaps and bounds has allowed it to shape a number of different marketplaces - from personal pleasure to business productivity. And as consumers demand more instant gratification (thanks to on-demand technology enabling short-term solutions such as mobile payments and sharing content), companies are seizing the opportunity to have their goods distributed immediately - with the likes of Amazon and Google only too happy to help.
Les Yates, Marketing Executive, said: "Our broad experience has made us a household name both in the UK and overseas - and it's our reputation that has helped us establish a number of successful partnerships with many a leading courier service.
"What we've come to notice through our international connections is that with ever-changing trends, so the marketplace has had to make the relevant adaptations. We believe it's time that such elite technology is now readily accessible and available for each and every customer, and look forward to such innovations improving the modern landscape."
Parcel2Go already delivers packages to an impressive 240 countries, working with a number of parcel suppliers to process huge volumes of orders quickly and effectively. Sending out over two million parcels each year as well as becoming the first ever online parcel delivery service to reach 100,000 users, Parcel2Go constantly updates its services to ensure its customers receive quality standards at affordable rates.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
