Open Source Automated General Purpose Factory
Contents
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, and the Open Source Automation 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)
