Drawing the Line: Blueprinting a Drone Assembly Floor
Most factory problems are drawn in on day one. A loop that crosses itself, a test bay with no clear exit, a stockroom at the wrong end. We fix those on the blueprint, where changes are free.
Map the flow first
Parts come in one door and finished aircraft leave by another. Everything in between follows one direction with no backtracking.
A loop line keeps stations close, lets one lead see the whole floor and makes it easy to add stations later.
Size stations to takt time
We divide the build into steps of equal length. If frame build takes eight minutes, wiring and test should too. Uneven steps create piles of half built drones.
Put test and quality in the plan
Motor test, burn-in racks and flight acceptance each get space on the drawing, with serial tracking from kit to crate.

We can blueprint a pilot cell or a full line for your building and your volume targets.
