JD announced during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum on the morning of January 22nd, 2019, that one of their drones successfully completed its first flight in Indonesia. This is also the first time a distribution drone of JD has flown abroad.
The successful flight was the result of cooperation between JD Group, the Indonesian government, and the World Economic Forum "Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution". The flight showed that JD drone distribution technology has reached maturity. This technology could solve the distribution problem in the archipelago where the presence of a thousand small islands creates an obstacle for traditional distribution. The distribution drone is an important step in the global distribution infrastructure and supply chain services of JD Group. AI drone technology is also a leading field in China that drives the development of e-commerce and innovative retail.
