MicroPilot Completes Building Expansion
MicroPilot’s new 5000 sq-ft production facility
better services UAV autopilot customers. MicroPilot customers enjoy
quicker production turn-around times, higher quality products, and better
schedule availability for flight-testing.
June 13, 2011 - Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Canada – MicroPilot, leader
in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autopilots, recently completed 5000
square foot expansion of its central administrative and development
headquarters, located on 40 acres of flat prairieland outside Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada.
MicroPilot serves a variety of clients in numerous markets around the
world. Due to steady growth during its seventeen years of operation,
MicroPilot facility expansion became a necessity. MicroPilot president,
Howard Loewen says, “Our new larger facility fully supports our increased
customer base.”
MicroPilot’s new production facility offers adequate space to house
its many equipment upgrades. For instance, a $500K investment in a rotating
temperature chamber and other equipment, offers better calibration during
production. Additionally, the increased facility size allows MicroPilot
to improve production throughput, yielding shorter production and testing
times.
In addition to improving production, the expansion allows MicroPilot
to better serve customers who use the facility for flight-testing. “MicroPilot
now accommodates larger UAVs and hosts multiple customers simultaneously,”
says Loewen. This gives MicroPilot customers greater flexibility when
booking flight time. Customers also have access to a generous flight
support workshop area.
MicroPilot’s North/South and East/West runways and a private test area
with controlled access remain in place. And customers still have direct
access to MicroPilot’s head office, production staff and Research &
Development personnel during flight-testing. When questions arise, they
can turn directly to hardware and software developers and test pilots
on location.
