Mass copy Pi Sd card to 50 pi’s with different Ip & Hostname

[/RaspberryPi]

Title pretty much cover it. I wrote a python script that reads data incoming via UART and then uses selenium to open a specific URL via chrome to an internal web address. I am needing to deploy the exact python script to 49 more pi’s efficiently.
My current approach is that of the cavemen.

• I have my “baseâ€￾ pi booted up with the sd card I am wanting to copy from.
• I put in a new sd card via usb reader, and then use ‘sd card copy’ to flash the new card.
• After the process is complete, I edit: /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /etc/dhcpcd.conf to change the hostname and static IPv4.

Other INFO:

• Wifi only, Ethernet is not available.
• No internet connectivity is available after they are deployed, only local network
• Local network does not resolve hostname (Potentially an issue on my part)
• Each pi needs to be 'Unique' as i am using them to send data to a server.

END GOAL:
[INDENT] I would like to be able to set the pi's up so that our Technicians can grab the pi's and install them onto the machines in the plant. I don't have enough time to deploy the pi's and set them up in the plant. Each Pi has vnc enabled and if anything needs changing i will change it with VNC.
[/INDENT] Edit:

• Formatting
• Added Other Info
• Added End Goal
