About Future Factories!
Intelligent Manufacturing Lab
Smart Manufacturing lab is a branch of Future Factories that focuses to develop an AI-driven robotic assembly cell. Advances in the cell include higher throughput, safer human intervention, self-monitoring manufacturing cells, and more autonomous operation control and scheduling.
Advanced Composites
The Advanced Composites is a branch of Future Factories that works to create a closed-form lifecycle for composites manufacturing processes. Currently the team focuses such developments on the Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) process.
Health Life Science Lab.
Health Life Science Lab is a branch of Future Factories that focuses to develop an autonomous manufacturing cell. Advances in the cell include higher throughput, safer human intervention, self-monitoring manufacturing cells, and more autonomous operation control and scheduling.
