February 27, 2024 Tubular Network Reduces Delivery Time by 99 Percent

Tubular Network revolutionizes first and last-mile logistics, reducing idling time by 99% and carbon emissions by 94%.

AUSTIN – Hyperlogistics startup Tubular Network today announced its first successful commercial deployment for an innovative American aerospace manufacturer. The flagship customer adopted a Tubular Network system to increase the efficiency of last-mile logistics, reducing idling time by 99 percent in the process, and reducing carbon emissions by 94 percent.

This evolution brings to life the seamless and instant transportation visions once imagined in pop culture classics like ‘The Jetsons’ and ‘Futurama’, where the fantastical delivery methods of the future are now a tangible reality, revolutionizing the efficiency and immediacy of industrial logistics.

Tubular Network’s customer, one of the fastest-moving companies on earth, entrusted the startup with helping it achieve an even greater efficiency of movement in the service of revolutionizing aerospace technology.

Prior to Tubular Network, the company used a short-distance trucking system to move parts between buildings. Packages had to be received, staged, loaded, driven, and unloaded, and the entire process of moving a payload between buildings averaged 8 hours. By installing a hyperlogistics tube between buildings and deploying robotic shuttles to move goods as soon as they were ready, Tubular Network automated the movement of goods to 60 seconds and established a cost savings at scale across both manpower and idling time.

“Tubular network improves delivery and logistics by an order of magnitude,” said Tubular Network CEO Ben James. “Using an interconnected network of tubes that integrates with our customers’ existing logistic infrastructures, we eliminate the need for short-distance truck runs. Our localized delivery system improves delivery speed, reduces carbon emissions, and reduces cost. Robots delivering goods through tubes is a new utility with profound opportunity to help manufacturers overcome the inefficiencies that are built into first and last-mile logistics.”

James, who previously won two Hyperloop Innovation Awards given by SpaceX, noted that Tubular Network’s flagship customer has innovation in their DNA.

“Their willingness to adopt new technologies has paid significant dividends,” said James. “Tubular Network uses autonomous robotic shuttles, complete with their own batteries, propulsion, and sensors, to turbo-charge point-to-point last-mile delivery. We’re excited to work alongside other customers to continue to build the future of logistics – a future that is lightning-fast, unwaveringly reliable, and breathtakingly efficient.”
