A dock can pass final test and still lose the charging state that operators rely on.
Fast final testing protects production rate, while a stronger harness check protects dock availability after installation.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I watched the dock go unavailable twice this morning, and the site lead wants to know if we can trust the next launch.”

What is at stake
Newly installed docks intermittently lose charging-state updates after passing final test. You have to weigh fault capture against the line time that keeps docks moving.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fault capture vs line throughput
- field reliability vs production simplicity
- mechanical retention vs electrical signal integrity
- fast containment vs durable root cause
Why Skydio
Skydio Dock fleets depend on reliable charging-state telemetry to keep autonomous missions visible and ready across distributed sites.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
