ESR and VRCO demonstrate the world’s first cargo drone logistics facility in Greater Tokyo

ESR Cayman announced a groundbreaking collaboration with VRCO to design and demonstrate the world’s first cargo drone logistics facility at ESR Higashi Ogishima Distribution Center, located in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area.

ESR’s tenants can use electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) airframes to revolutionize the movement of commercial cargo from ESR distribution facilities of the future. Working closely with local regulatory authorities, government agencies and the local technology supply chain, ESR and VRCO will demonstrate in detail how a highly automated fleet of smart and self-aware air-cargo vehicles that are controlled by a state-of-the-art command center can take a scalable approach to volume delivery by air, factoring in weather and changing demand. This concept will be developed at ESR’s Higashi Ogishima DC and expanded to other ESR distribution centers in Japan as well as other markets in ESR’s pan-Asia portfolio.
