Reimaging logistics: cargo drones, digital transformation and new delivery models
Today, resources no longer move the way they used to. In industries where every minute and every kilometre matter, cutting-edge technologies like robotics are opening up new opportunities to rethink logistics in a smarter, faster, and more connected way. Digital transformation is giving rise to more efficient and adaptable logistics circuits, where technology is not just an add-on, but a core part of the operational design. Along this journey, drones have evolved from inspection allies to key players in a new delivery model.
When traditional logistics reaches its limits
In many industrial sectors, logistical processes face challenges that are difficult to solve using traditional models: long distances, limited access, adverse weather conditions, or urgent demands. In these scenarios, applying technology powered by artificial intelligence makes a real difference.
That’s where technology applied with AI makes a difference and where drones begin to reveal their full potential from asset monitoring and remote detection to the growing field of industrial delivery.
Drones that deliver more than cargo
Innovation is part of Techint E&C’s DNA. The introduction of cargo drones reflects the company’s integrated vision of digital transformation and signals a new approach to managing logistics in large-scale projects.
"The cargo drone project we developed with Uali demonstrates that, by innovating in the face of the industry's most demanding challenges, it is possible to transform and optimize key logistics processes." — Alejandro Martín Aguirre, Innovation Sr. Manager at Techint E&C
This initiative enabled the transport of heavy payloads, up to 40kg, more quickly, efficiently, and traceably, replacing long ground trips with automated, programmable drone flights monitored in real time. The result: faster, safer processes aligned with Techint E&C’s highest standards of quality and safety, while reducing team exposure to harsh conditions and hard-to-reach routes.

Digital transformation with purpose
Integrating drones into logistics workflows is not just about adding technology: it’s about rethinking logistics from the ground up, optimising resources, speeding up delivery times, and improving the traceability of every shipment.
In this sense, long-range cargo drones don’t replace existing systems; they complement them. They help relieve logistical pressure, make processes smarter, and better adapt to changing operational environments. This technology presents a concrete opportunity to support the decarbonisation of Techint E&C’s operations, improve response times, and strengthen operational safety.
At Uali, we integrate drones, IoT, and artificial intelligence to optimise industrial logistics, generating precise data that speeds up decision-making and enables more efficient and sustainable operations. Get to know us!
