Wolseley Canada Tests Drones to Deliver Plumbing and HVAC Parts

Wolseley Canada May Use Drones to Deliver Plumbing and HVAC Parts

Drones could one day be delivering plumbing and HVAC parts to distribution centres and customers, thanks to an agreement between Drone Delivery Canada and Wolseley Canada Inc.

The two companies signed an agreement on Oct. 19 to collaborate on the potential implementation of a drone delivery solution to expand Wolseley Canada's distribution capabilities.

Using DDC's logistics platform, the development, prototyping and testing will be focused on a customized “depot to depot” solution as well as a “depot to customer” solution in Wolseley Canada's supply chain.

 

If the testing and development are successful, the two intend to work out a definitive agreement once applicable government legislation is enacted.

"We believe that we are the only drone delivery company in Canada to successfully achieve Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) testing and are very pleased to announce this agreement with Wolseley Canada,” said Tony Di Benedetto, CEO of Drone Delivery Canada. “As drone payloads increase, we think drone deliveries will radically improve on-time delivery," said Tony Di Benedetto, CEO of Drone Delivery Canada.
