Industrial drone manufacturing is developing into one of the most dynamic growth markets for electric drive technology. Grob supports this development with system solutions for the automated series production of drone components and systems.

Current market assessments show immense growth potential for drones in the coming years. This growth is not only a reflection of increasing demand but, above all, a sign of the growing industrial maturity of a sector that is steadily moving from niche towards mass production. At the same time, application fields are continuously expanding: precision agriculture, urban security, mining and disaster relief, and, in the long term, lightweight transport are the key growth drivers. In all these applications, drones demonstrate their strengths—rapid availability, high efficiency, and the ability to enable entirely new solutions in hard-to-reach environments.

From single production to industrial mass production

With the increasing market demand, production logic is also fundamentally changing. The manufacturing of drones was long characterised by small quantities and high customisation. Today, however, a clear transformation is emerging: towards standardised, scalable, and highly automated production systems. This development places new demands on machinery and production lines—this is precisely where Grob steps in with automated manufacturing solutions for cost-effective mass production. The focus is on robustness, process stability, maintenance friendliness, and consistent repeatability. Only when these factors are consistently met can industrial quantities be realised economically and with reliable quality.

Precise winding for maximum motor performance

A key element in the industrial production of high-performance drone motors is the precise winding of electric motors. It is crucial for the performance of the drive and influences key parameters such as payload, efficiency, and thermal stability. Optimising the winding enables targeted adjustment of the Kv value—i.e., the speed per volt at no load. Using multiple copper wires or larger conductor cross-sections can reduce the motor's internal resistance while simultaneously increasing power density. High-quality winding results in improved fill factors, lower losses, and significantly higher energy efficiency. At the same time, thermal stability improves, which is particularly critical in safety-sensitive applications such as transport, surveillance, or rescue. With its automation and production solutions, Grob creates the conditions to reliably and reproducibly meet these high-quality requirements even in industrial mass production.

With its system solutions for the mass production of drone components and electric drive systems, Grob supports manufacturers in transitioning from prototype manufacturing to industrial series production. Integrated and automated manufacturing solutions provide the foundation for efficient, scalable, and cost-effective production processes while ensuring high process stability and repeatability. Thanks to technological independence from individual procurement markets, stable supply chains, and a global service approach, customers benefit from high system availability as well as long-term secure and economical production structures.
