Open Source Automated General Purpose Factory
Basics
- A combination of the Open Source Microfactory, the Open Source Robotic Assembly Line, the Open Source Robotic Finishing Line, and the Open Source Cloud Manufacturing Construction Set
- Raw Material In, Finished Large Products Out (Cars, Boats, Aricraft, Tractors, Large Devices Like the CEB Press, Fully Assembled D3D Printers etc.)
Used For
- Fully Automated Production of pretty much anything, assuming it has power, and raw material input (Next Stop "Fully Automated Luxury Queer Space Anarcho Communism" Maybe lol)
Industry Standards
- Anything that uses vertigal integration
Existing Open Source Standards
-
Minimum Viable Product
- As cheap as possible
- As energy efficient + quiet as possible
- Safe
- Human Observation Optional (can run fully automated, or with a staffed monitering station/both)
- Versitile (as to prevent mass production) it can produce many things, but isn't tied to producing just one thing
Basic Design
Intermediate Storage Module
- A amazon style automated warehouse, albeit at a smaller scale, filled with raw materials, and frequently used parts (such as screws, bolts, coils, valves, 3D Printed PVC Pipe Fittings etc)
- Used to prevent a bottle neck, but no large surplus shpuld be kept to prevent wastefullness
- Is used before the "Ore Refinment/Scrap Recycling Sector", inbetween the "Ore Refinment/Scrap Recycling Sector", and the "Part Production Sector" , and in between the "Part Production" sector and the "Device Assembly Sector"
Ore Refinment/Scrap Recycling Sector
- Consists of all the "Materials Aquisition/Refining/Recycling" Section of the "Construction Sets" Page
- Ores + Chemicals + Recycling in
- Refined Raw Materials (Plastic Filament, Pellets, Wire Metal Sheets, and Pipe etc.) Out
Part Production Sector
- Consists of essentially all the Open Source Digital Fabrication Construction Set Devices
- Refined Raw Materials (Plastic Filament, Pellets, Wire Metal Sheets, and Pipe etc.)
- All the Parts Used in the Facility Out
Module Assembly Sector
- Consists of a Open Source Robotic Assembly Line
- Parts In
- Modules of fineshed products Out (such as universal axis', or powercubes, or roof modules for the seed eco home)
- Can Be used for the "Device Assembly Sector", or these can be used as replacement/auxillary parts (such as a power cube or power supply by itself)
Device Assembly Sector
- Consists of a Open Source Robotic Assembly Line
- Modules In
- Assembled Full Devices Out (such as Lifetracs, Microtracs, Open Source Powerboats, Open Source Sailboats, CEB Presss
Product Finishing Sector
- Consists of a Open Source Robotic Finishing Line
Product Packaging Sector
- Consists of a Open Source Robotic Packaging Line
- Fineshed Refined Raw Materials, Parts, Modules, and Devices in
- Packages of Refined Raw Materials, Parts, Modules, and Devices Out (either standard boxes for smaller stuff or Open Source Intermodal Containers for Larger Stuff)
