Summary:
This capstone assesses the sustainability impact of integrating autonomous drone systems into warehouse operations, focusing on greenhouse gas emissions. By automating inventory processes, drones minimize reliance on traditional equipment like forklifts, reduce energy consumption for lighting and HVAC, and improve operational efficiency. The analysis dives into how these systems contribute to emissions through optimized resource use and reduced production, transportation, and employee commute impacts.
