speed changes logistics
speed changes logistics more than what is at first obvious,
it's obvious that when logistics went from horse drawn carriages from the wheat mill in the village to the bakery in the city
to semitrucks going from the warehouse in the suburb to the shop in the city
it was not just a change in volume and weight capacity, but also a change in speed, that changed how logistic hubs and logistic networks were built and organized
this is why the increase of speed going from semitrucks and maritime transport to autonomous electric quad rotor aircraft will change how logistic hubs and logistic networks are organized
keep in mind that logistics will also be affected by 3d printing,
so instead of transporting parts large in volume, a metal powder will be transported instead, that 3d printers on site will use to produce products
