Seed Factory Project: the autonomous and self-sustaining Factory

Ok, will be fun to see where this project ends up as they claim they are “creating the next generation of manufacturing by bringing together software and basic tools to produce the first autonomous and self-sustaining factory. ”

Would you be interested in an interview?

The factory is designed as an integrated system. It brings together multiple production steps from raw materials and energy to finished items. Each part of the factory produces resources needed by the other parts to function, making it self-sustaining. Since the parts are all in one place, the whole production chain can take advantage of automation and robotics. Integrated processes can also take waste outputs from one step, and use them as inputs for another. The combination results in a highly efficient design.

As the factory expands, it produces a growing variety of products for end users, and an increasing percentage of the items for its own growth. The relatively low cost of a starter kit, and the low operating cost from integrated processes and automation, make this system very desirable on an economic basis.

As a new way to organize production, Seed Factories build on past experience from Industrial Technology and Engineering.
