AI-powered microfactories use machine learning and big data to drive space needs down to a minimum. Here are 4 ways that microfactories are proving more productive and sustainable.
AI-powered microfactories are making waves in the manufacturing world. These small, highly automated facilities leverage machine learning and big data to drive production while minimizing space needs.
UK-based electric vehicle maker Arrival exemplifies the benefits of microfactories. Their decentralized facilities, built with highly automated processes, offer not only efficiency and ease of maintenance but also superior adaptability for customization.
Notably, these microfactories were constructed at a fraction of the cost of traditional factories – just $50 million compared to a staggering $1 billion.
