April

May

MZ101 robustness testing plan

MZ101 application testing plan

Release MZ101-P1 drawings for
fabrication

Build MZ100-2 for testing critical
controls design changes

r

Must push to till next month (May) because of vendors not providing parts. May come first week in May but working to verify since engineering is believed to be done on their end for production of parts to CR.

RT mobility application
study complete for JLG mobility
base requirements

Benchmark MZ101 cost

r

Waiting on quotes from vendors, drawings released mid April.Need quotes back so final design changes can be made to weldments for fabrication for prototype.

June

Resolve motor & gearbox
supply chain issues

High level manufacturing strategy
outline for new building setup

Primary function testing
and debug

Evaluate use cases of all current
ML150 accessories

July

Review FEA Results

Perform first full FEA of production
intent design release

Validate critical functions
of wireless handle w/ gripper

August

Perform second full FEA of production
intent design release

Electrical documentation complete
with all critical components for
manufacturing MZ101

Setup electric gripper testing
on ML150 for application,
debug, and robustness

r

testing completed and went well. Servos were programed to have self held safety limits independent of controller board.Johnathan is having issue with production intent board and cooked servo and/or board so had to take parts from working prototype for him to continue.Ordered more servos so we have spares, will also order a few metal gear servos as a backup in case we find plastic servos not to last.

Work with vendors to get forecast
and lead time understood for long
lead electronics.

Executable manufacturing plan
for setup in new building

Start ordering long lead electronics
to protect production supply

Marketing strategy outline

MZ101 official production forecast
for vendors to protect supply chain

r

4/15Sales team requested a rough spec sheet and rough costing for pricing ROM to gauge volume market by.4/28Had to push effort from April to May because fabrication parts not back from quote yet. Working to get rest of critical components in BOM updated in parallel.

September

Validate production intent
motor controls w/ temperature
compensation complete

r

4/28:pending arrival of InMotion parts for testing on MZ2

Finalize complete software
validation plan

Marcus on leave

Marketing pictures and videos???

Working MZ101-P1A production
intent prototype

Prepare customer design review
application presentation

Customer facing spec sheet

GUI layout requirements
outlined

Working MZ101-P1B production
intent prototype

r

As a result of the motor issue, further development was done on P1 in parallel to further de risk the need for a P2 build further.

October

Production design release for 1st
manufacturing test run (Rev A)

Customer R&D design review
application meeting

Production software functions
locked down

Inhouse testing with real masons

MZ101-P2A design release?
(Parts or machine)

GUI requirements locked down

Risk assessment complete

Draft risk assessment complete

Start system software validation
and debug for production

Show unit / marketing requirements?

November

Executable marketing plan

MZ101-P2A working unit?

r

Only necessary if there is a major learning from P1 build. FEA and testing have shown no major issues, even at 30 degrees we still have almost a 5x factor of safety as a foreseeable misuse case.

Pre-orders?

GUI complete

December

Draft CE assessment complete

Assembly documentation for
manufacturing floor builds

1st MZ101 pre-production unit assembled
and debugged

Software validated

Jan 2023

Final update and release of all
production drawings (Rev B)

Handoff to operations to
execute on manufacturing

Final setup of manufacturing line

CE certification plan complete

February
