Part 2 book "Industrial system engineering for drones - A guide with best practices for designing" includes content: Aystem assembly, bring up and validation; software development; drone product certification, schematics basics, references. | CHAPTER 5 System Assembly Bring-Up and Validation The second half of the product development cycle is the board bring-up which aids the final system bring-up. No physical hardware or system parts are seen until the Gerber release. That is when the bring-up the actual hardware and mechanical parts are available for hands-on. The upcoming chapters will discuss more about the manufacturing power on testing and validation of the actual hardware and the system. The pilot system build starts once the system is tested and validated against all the design and certification requirements as per the PRD. The system is deployed with the features list. Pilot systems are usually distributed to internal customers and are restricted to a lab environment until the system passes the regulatory and precompliance testing. Feedback and input from customers are consolidated to fine-tune the system further. Often there is a separate tool for bug assignment tracking and issue resolution. Regulatory and environmental compliance testing is required for any electronic product. The presence of wireless radios and other communication modules on the system makes it mandatory to pass more stringent compliance standards.

This chapter covers the manufacturing and assembly of the drone with the list of make and buy items ordered as per the system BOM. PCBs are the primary make item they are designed in-house and manufactured by the PCB vendors using a complex manufacturing and assembly process.
