RoBird Business Unit Manufacturing and Assembly Optimization
FY 2022-23 · 2022-09-01
Summary
AERIUM’s RoBird® ornithopter is a high-tech example of biomimicry which has been established as an important tool in the field of Wildlife Management at airports, mining facilities, and other sites where wild birds are susceptible to injury and death simply by being in the wrong place. The current state of RoBird® production is such that many processes are completed by hand in a time consuming and expensive process. The goal of this project is to acquire both expertise and design services that will allow AERIUM to scale and automate production processes, growing RoBird® manufacturing from approximately 20 units per year to more than 60 units per year by the end of the project date, and to hundreds of units per year in 2024.

Description
AERIUM’s RoBird® ornithopter is a high-tech example of biomimicry which has been established as an important tool in the field of Wildlife Management at airports, mining facilities, and other sites where wild birds are susceptible to injury and death simply by being in the wrong place. The current state of RoBird® production is such that many processes are completed by hand in a time consuming and expensive process. The goal of this project is to acquire both expertise and design services that will allow AERIUM to scale and automate production processes, growing RoBird® manufacturing from approximately 20 units per year to more than 60 units per year by the end of the project date, and to hundreds of units per year in 2024.
Description (French)
L'ornithoptère RoBirdMD d'AERIUM est un exemple de biomimétisme de haute technologie qui s'est imposé comme un outil important dans le domaine de la gestion de la faune sauvage dans les aéroports, les installations minières et autres sites où les oiseaux sauvages sont susceptibles d'être blessés ou tués simplement en se trouvant au mauvais endroit. L'état actuel de la production de RoBirdMD est tel que de nombreux processus sont réalisés à la main, ce qui prend du temps et coûte cher. L'objectif de ce projet est d'acquérir à la fois l'expertise et les services de conception qui permettront à AERIUM de mettre à l'échelle et d'automatiser les processus de production, en faisant passer la fabrication des RoBird® d'environ 20 unités par an à plus de 60 unités par an d'ici la fin du projet, et à des centaines d'unités par an en 2024.
