Microdrones has announced that they will probably be opening a producing factory in the US to satisfy the growing demand for drone surveying equipment within the region. The location, which will probably be in Huntsville, Alabama, will go into operation in 2024.
Founded in 2005, Microdrones has been advancing the applications of UAVs through their development and manufacturing of drone surveying equipment and software. Their TrueView drone Light detection and ranging (LiDAR)/Imaging sensors and LP360 point cloud data processing software are designed to make surveying work more efficient and value effective for civil engineers and surveying professionals. They’ve change into one in every of the lead providers of LiDAR mapping UAV products in North America.
Their latest manufacturing facility is not going to only allow them to extend their production capability but bring them closer to their US customer base. Microdrones also intends to transfer their research and development activities to this location over the following yr.
Vivien Hériard Dubreuil, CEO of mdGroup, the parent company of Microdrones, said, “Strengthening our existing operations within the U.S. is a natural move for us. Our group has a longstanding presence in Huntsville, and we’ve got been supporting Microdrones U.S. customers from Huntsville for the past 18 months. Now, in light of the energy of the drone surveying market within the U.S. and a powerful reception by U.S. customers, it is sensible to bring these functions closer to those customers. We were already selling NDAA-compliant versions of our products; now our products will probably be designed and made within the U.S.”
This announcement comes on the heels of Microdrones’ reveal of their EasyOne Drone Surveying System. The primary-of-its-kind NDAA-Compliant LiDAR Drone Surveying System is one in every of the products slated for manufacturing on the Huntsville factory.
Vincent Legrand, Microdrone’s Vice President of Sales stated, “In every little thing we do, our utmost priority is to satisfy and fully address our customer needs. The EasyOne is born from customer demand for a compact drone LiDAR surveying system that will be easily deployed while quickly delivering top quality results.”
