From Innovation to Application: Industrializing Drone Technologies

Geodrones Australia

Development and scaling of drone technologies and their manufacturing processes, designing production systems for increased efficiency, scalability, and quality.

As part of Senior Leadership, I specialize in transforming innovative drone technologies into real-world applications by integrating design, manufacturing, and project management.

This involves:

  • Conducting detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturing) reviews

  • Conducting structured design stage gates (Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews) to ensure quality and feasibility at every step.

  • I take pride in leading new product introductions (NPI), managing the transition from concept to production, and ensuring that each product is ready for scale.

  • Using tools like Onshape, I create BOMs (Bills of Materials), draft SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), and map out process layouts to ensure streamlined workflows and production readiness.

On the manufacturing side:

  • I design efficient factory layouts,

  • Implement lean manufacturing and just-in-time processes

  • Manage master production schedules to optimize operations.

  • Oversee logistics and supply chain management, mitigating risks to avoid project delays and ensure smooth material flow.

    My approach combines strategic planning with hands-on execution to deliver scalable solutions that bring drone technologies to life.
