This senior design project focuses on improving the efficiency and scalability of the Northwest Connecticut Regional Food Hub’s food distribution system. The food hub serves as a central aggregation and distribution center for locally grown produce from approximately 40 small and mid-sized farms in Northwest Connecticut. Due to limited infrastructure, labor shortages, and increasing demand for local food, the current facility operates at full capacity and faces logistical challenges related to storage, packing, and delivery operations. The project includes two primary components: redesigning the food hub facility layout and evaluating the feasibility of drone-assisted delivery for last-mile food distribution. The facility redesign analyzes the current workflow of receiving produce, cold storage, sorting, packing, staging, and loading operations. Based on this analysis, the team develops a more efficient layout intended to increase throughput, reduce manual labor, and improve operational flow within the facility. The second component of the project examines whether heavy-payload drones could support delivery of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) produce boxes to regional households. This analysis evaluates routing strategies, drone capabilities, operational costs, and regulatory constraints to determine whether drone-based delivery could help expand the program and improve access to fresh food for rural communities. The final deliverables include an optimized facility design, an improved automated floor plan for the food hub, workflow and logistics analysis, and a feasibility assessment of drone-based delivery systems. These outcomes aim to improve distribution efficiency, support local farmers, and provide a scalable model for rural food hub operations.
