Abstract
Swarm drone technology could transform supply chain management and logistics. This review examines the research on swarm drones in different industries, concentrating on their implications, problems, and prospects. The main goal is to synthesise existing research to understand how swarm drone technology changes supply chain and logistics. Swarm drones redefine complicated logistical tasks with their autonomous and collaborative nature. This chapter introduces swarm drone technology, including autonomous navigation, real-time data collection, and collaborative problem-solving. The chapter then discusses how these drones improve inventory, warehouse, and delivery systems in supply chain management. Swarm drone case studies from diverse businesses are explored to find real-world correlations. Data analytics optimises every route, predicts maintenance needs, and ensures drone safety. The issues of swarm drones in supply chain are also examined. The review also examines the environmental impact of swarm drones and suggests sustainable solutions.
