An Ohio construction supplier on Friday officially delivered its first shipment by drone.
Winsupply announced on its Twitter account that the inaugural delivery had successfully landed.
A drone operated by fellow Dayton company Drone Express picked up the package at Winsupplyβs Miamisburg distribution center and flew it some three miles away to the supplierβs Centerville location. The shipment contained a part made by flow control products manufacturer NIBCO.
The event was originally scheduled to take place last Tuesday, but was postponed due to inclement weather.
Winsupply officials said the delivery would be the first of βa wide range of products weighing under five poundsβ shipped from its Miamisburg hub.
