The first blockchain based Business-to-Robots (B2R) Operating Platform - SKYFCHAIN

As costs come down and cobot capabilities increase, small business is poised to benefit in several ways from adopting automation.
Technology has made robotics less expensive. What once seemed like the far future is now an everyday reality for many small businesses, particularly those in the manufacturing, assembly, and even food-service industries. Adding a few robots at a time can make the small business workplace better for customers and employees. Everyone wins when you embrace new technology, no matter how small your business might be. There are a few places where you absolutely need a human. Customer service often requires a live person. Other things, like transferring a box from one place to the next, don’t exactly require all of the brain power that a human is capable of providing, even though artificial intelligence is improving for things like inspection. By letting robots fill the gaps, you’re freeing up people to be productive in ways that only people can. Your employees will be able to provide better service to the people who depend on you.

The SKYFchain Operating Platform will provide a disruptive solution for switching global logistics industries to unmanned systems. To set the standards for the new industry in robotic delivery in areas such as financing, manufacturing, operations, maintenance,insurance, and authorization of drones and robots in the air, on the ground and at the sea. Skyfchain Is The First B2R (Business-To-Robots) Blockchain Based Operating Platform.

Project Roadmap:

2014 –2017
✓securing $5 mln of vc funding;
✓design and manufacturing of SKYF cargo drones;
✓successful aerodynamic tests;
✓fully autonomous flights

Q4 2017.2018
✓skyfchain project spin-off from the SKYF project;
•research into the most suitable technology and development of a private blockchain network;
•development of logic and data of the Skyfchain OP in tight cooperation with all cargo robotics market stakeholders (hardware producers, operators/clients, authorities, banks/leasing companies);
•creation of the international legal structure;
•sale of the first assembled SKYF drones and expansion of the partner network in the regions without strict regulations on drone flights (CIS, Asia, and Africa).

2019
•dissemination of the private block chain network nodes among market participants;
•launch of the with a franchise of a drone logistics operator and a license for third-party drone producers.

2020
•rapid growth in SKYF drone sales, as a consequence of expansion of the franchise of a drone logistics operator and growth of number of licensed drone producers around the world;
•start of educational campaign and workshops for producers of other types of drones.

2021-2022
•inclusion of third-party airborne drones into the SKYFchain;
•lobbying for new regulations in developed markets through industry associations and round-tables.

2023 –2025
•inclusion of ground and sea-borne cargo robots into the system.

THE BUSINESS MODEL
Logistics business processes today are designed with a human being in mind, either as a customer or
a controller etc. Autopilots for cargo robots, AI and the developing field of IOT hints that one day,
robots may work without being directly controlled by an individual.
This would bring enormous savings since currently, around 50% of costs in logistics is in labor.
The field in cargo robotics will require investments, and investments need insurance, risk
management and control. Thus, unmanned cargo robots may become an asset which would require
new types of regulations and business processes.

Unmanned trucks, ships and cars

After the launch of air-borne drones, SKYFchain will invite other cargo robots, unmanned trucks, unmanned ships, and later unmanned passenger vehicles. We are planning to invite air-borne drones from 2020 onwards, and sea-borne and ground-borne robots starting from 2022 onwards. According to Abhimanyu Raheja, an analyst at BIS Research, "the overall number of automated vehicles is expected to reach more than 110 million by the end of 2026."

Exane BNP Paribas is giving lower, but also promising projections of 40 millions automated vehicles of all types in 2026

Benefits of the unmanned trucks

Proponents of automated trucks are talking about several useful features. They say that such trucks will be more efficient because they would not waste fuel by accelerating and braking as frequently as trucks driven manually by a human driver. Similarly, developers have plans to use truck platooning to save on fuel. Other benefits may include: increased safety and less stress for drivers during long-haul monotonous drives.

SKYF received letters of intent from several big oil & gas companies (NGK Slavneft, PAO SIBUR
Holding) and agricultural industry (Syngenta AG, Avgust Crop Protection, Rusagro Group, Prodimex),
willing to use the SKYF drone services.
