Multiplo - Multi-19

Project Overview

This project was developed in collaboration with Multiplo Colombia S.A.S, with the goal of designing and creating an electric vehicle specifically designed for loading luggage onto planes. The primary focus was to develop an ultralight solution - aiming to create the lightest baggage conveyor belt available in the market.

Project Description

This was a project developed in record time. After almost a year of design, the Multi-19 vehicle moved into production. My team and I implemented a production and assembly workshop in 2 months, delivering the first batch in less than a month after completing the facilities.

A large part of the product was outsourced to partner industries to meet the timeline. However, the most critical parts were developed in-house, with custom tooling created specifically to ensure that their manufacture reflected the added value those components contributed to the whole.

My Role

Quality Control Manager

I meticulously supervised every stage of production, from initial design to final assembly - overseeing a diverse team of skilled professionals, conducting thorough inspections, and implementing rigorous quality assurance protocols to ensure each unit met the product specification.

Manufacturing Logistics

I coordinated the timely delivery of raw materials, equipment, and finished products - collaborating closely with suppliers to ensure all materials met strict specifications and were delivered on schedule. Efficient supply chain management was key to minimising production delays in such a compressed timeline.

Operational Benefits

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: The ultralight design significantly improves fuel efficiency for ground operations, reducing costs and minimising environmental impact.. Streamlined Operations: Electric conveyor belts enable swift and precise baggage handling, enhancing productivity and reducing aircraft turnaround times.. Cost-Effective Maintenance: High-quality components and robust engineering ensure minimal maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and operational costs.. Safety and Ergonomics: Advanced safety features and ergonomic considerations ensure a secure working environment and minimise the risk of operator injury.. Scalability and Adaptability: The modular design allows for easy customisation and expansion, accommodating various airport layouts and future operational needs.. Advanced Tracking and Security: Integrated tracking systems provide real-time visibility and secure handling of luggage, ensuring passenger satisfaction..

Project Results

By collaborating closely with Multiplo Colombia S.A.S, we delivered a cutting-edge solution within an accelerated timeframe. The first batch of conveyor belts demonstrated outstanding functionality and durability, exceeding the expectations of the client and end-users.

The project strengthened the partnership with Multiplo Colombia, positioned us as pioneers in cutting-edge airport equipment, and received positive reception from clients and end-users - confirming a significant impact on baggage handling operations.
