Abstrakt: Background: The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into warehouse management is shaped by a broad spectrum of influencing factors, yet practical adoption lagged behind its potential due to scarce quantitative models of factor interdependencies. Methods: This study systematically reviewed academic literature to identify key factors affecting UAV adoption and explored their interrelationships using complex network and social network analysis. Results: Sixty-six distinct factors were identified and mapped into a weighted network with 527 connections, highlighting the multifaceted nature of UAV integration. Notably, two factors, i.e., Disturbance Prediction and System Resilience, were found to be isolated, suggesting they have received little research attention. The overall network is characterized by low density but includes a set of 25 core factors that strongly influence the system. Significant interconnections were uncovered among factors such as drone design, societal factors, rack characteristics, environmental influences, and simulation software. Conclusions: These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics shaping UAV adoption in warehouse management. Furthermore, the open-access dataset and network model developed in this research offer valuable resources to support future studies and practical decision-making in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
