What we offer
Autlo provides cargo drone logistics as a managed service. You do not need to buy aircraft, register an operator, or hire pilots: we handle flight planning, pilots, maintenance, and day-to-day flight operations.
If you prefer to own the hardware, we procure and configure a commercial cargo drone for your site and still run the operation around it. The aircraft is yours, while the flying, planning, maintenance, and regulatory work stay with us.
Autlo has been building logistics and access software since 2013. We connect flight telemetry and cargo manifests directly to your existing ERP or warehouse management system, and we handle the regulatory side, so drone operations fit both your internal platforms and the legal requirements that apply to them.
Payload classes and specifications
Three core payload classes cover most routes. Anything outside them, we build to specification.
15kg | Light Express
Time-critical cargo at high speed, with strong wind resistance and rapid battery turnaround.
Maritime: 5-15km from the shore terminal, serving vessels at anchor and replacing expensive fast-launch crew boat runs for small priority cargo.
Onshore: line-of-sight and BVLOS supply links to remote construction sites, mining camps, and offshore wind platforms.
Typical cargo: medical supplies · laboratory samples · replacement electronics · emergency spare parts · priority documents
60kg | Medium Industrial
Weatherised carbon-fibre airframe with multi-rotor motor redundancy and obstacle-avoidance LiDAR, built for prolonged flight over open water and rough maritime corridors.
Maritime: 15-30km, covering larger vessels at anchor and bulk priority provisioning runs.
Onshore: construction yard logistics, mining site supply chains, and just-in-time parts delivery. Currently our most requested configuration in Europe.
Typical cargo: ship provisioning at anchor · machinery tools · high-value courier packages · remote outpost resupply · offshore platform supply
120kg | Heavy Logistics Lift
High-torque propulsion and a scalable payload bay, engineered to hold stable flight profiles over water and mountainous terrain.
Maritime: extended-range BVLOS under the appropriate EASA authorisation for terminal-to-deck delivery, replacing helicopter charters for heavy priority cargo at a significantly lower cost per kilogram.
Onshore: remote mine supply chains, energy infrastructure, and disaster response. Requires a feasibility assessment before deployment.
Typical cargo: terminal-to-deck freight · disaster supply drops · remote community resupply · mining and heavy industry · offshore energy logistics
Custom | Beyond the standard classes
Payload requirements that do not fit the three standard classes, including specialised cargo bays and long-range variants above 120kg.
Engineering: we specify the airframe, the route profile, and the cargo handling procedure around your operational reality.
Regulatory: non-standard configurations are assessed case by case, and we map the authorisation path before committing to a build.
Typical cases: oversized components · temperature-controlled cargo · non-standard mounting · extended-range corridors
Where we fly, and who flies it
We focus exclusively on high-value, time-critical cargo under 120kg, the shipments where speed and precision matter most, not bulk volume.
Maritime ship-to-shore delivery
Vessels at anchor lose valuable time waiting on crew boats, launch services, or helicopter charters. We fly priority cargo from the port terminal straight to the deck: medicine, documents, replacement electronics, navigation equipment, crew essentials.
Autlo manages the whole stack, including flight planning, airspace clearance, and cargo handoff, in line with EASA standards.
We do not provide bulk container loading or discharging.
Industrial and remote site supply
Remote factories, construction yards, and mining operations lose hours or days to road logistics, poor infrastructure, and congestion. We connect warehouse hubs directly to the site with spare parts, tools, high-value components, and medical supplies for on-site personnel.
Flight analytics, telemetry logs, and cargo manifests are written straight into your ERP or inventory system.
Tell us your route and your bottleneck, and our engineering team designs around it.
Managed flight operations
Every flight runs from the Autlo control centre: scheduling, dispatch, live telemetry, battery and motor health. We handle preventative maintenance and swap components before they disrupt deliveries.
Pilots, operational authorisations, and geofencing stay ours to manage, whether the aircraft is ours or yours.
No aviation department required on your side.
How a deployment works
Moving to drone logistics does not require buying aircraft or hiring pilots. Autlo manages the full operational stack.
1. Feasibility and route assessment
We analyse your cargo specifications, route distance, local terrain, wind profiles, and power budgets, and map the optimal flight paths before any drone takes off.
2. Payload class and aircraft selection
With the route mapped, we match it to a payload class and airframe, weighing capacity against range, endurance, and weather envelope. If you are procuring your own aircraft, this is where we specify it.
3. Regulatory compliance and authorisation
Autlo handles the regulatory overhead: securing the necessary EASA operational approvals, setting geofencing boundaries, and obtaining BVLOS waivers for maritime or long-range flights.
4. Ground infrastructure and landing zones
We prepare the take-off and landing points at both ends of the route, including deck handoff procedure, ground crew briefing, and any charging or battery-swap infrastructure the route needs.
5. Fleet integration and software setup
We deploy the Autlo software layer to link flight operations with your existing infrastructure, so flight analytics, automated cargo manifests, and telemetry data reach your warehouse management system or ERP.
6. Ongoing operations and monitoring
Our control centre monitors every flight, tracking battery health, motor wear, and live telemetry. Autlo handles scheduling, dispatching, and preventative maintenance, and manages component swaps before they disrupt deliveries.
Common questions
Yes. Under the EASA regulatory framework, commercial cargo drone operations are legal and permitted across EU member states. Operations are categorised by risk; standard cargo missions generally fall under the Specific category, which requires an operational authorisation. BVLOS operations over water, common in maritime transport, require additional waivers. Autlo manages the regulatory authorisations, flight approvals, and geofencing configuration as part of the service, so the client does not need to handle this independently.
Drone-as-a-Service lets clients secure heavy-payload drone logistics capacity without the capital expense of purchasing or operating aircraft. Autlo provides the drones, certified pilots, software platform, regulatory compliance, and ongoing maintenance. The client specifies the cargo weight, flight path, and delivery schedule. If you would rather own the aircraft, we can procure and configure it for you and still run the operation around it.
Autlo works with three standard payload tiers: a 15kg Light Express drone, a 60kg Medium Industrial drone, and a 120kg Heavy Logistics drone. Payload capacity directly affects flight range and endurance, and the appropriate tier depends on your cargo type, route distance, and environment. Custom configurations beyond 120kg are available on request.
Ship-to-shore drone delivery uses heavy-lift drones to transport priority cargo from a port terminal or shore facility directly to a vessel at anchor. It replaces launch boats and helicopter charters for high-priority items. By bypassing harbour traffic and operating in conditions where crew boats are restricted, it offers substantial time savings, lower cost, and improved operational safety.
Medical supplies, replacement electronics, navigation gear, priority documents, crew essentials, small machinery parts, and urgent provisions. Autlo specialises in high-value, time-critical cargo under the 120kg limit, for shipments where delivery speed and precision matter more than bulk volume.
