[microfactory]

In the rapidly evolving landscape of manufacturing, traditional large-scale factories are giving way to a more flexible, efficient, and sustainable approach known as microfactories. These compact, agile production facilities are transforming how products are designed, produced, and brought to market. But what exactly are microfactories, and how do they help you in manufacturing? This article delves into the concept of microfactories, their benefits, and how they are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry.

Glowing laser lines, a living map, a dynamically updating score. Ephemeral topography and invisible metrics. Movements and pauses choreographed by algorithms.

Are you discovering a path or programming one?

Humans have been harnessing the power of yeast for thousands of years. These fungi allow fermentation, the molecular process whereby living cells typically transform sugar or starch into more complex molecules or chemicals. Discovered 10,000 years ago, the technology of liquid fermentation—from mead to beer to spirits—and solid-state fermentation—bread and cheese—helped put humanity on a rapidly accelerating path of evolution and advancement.

Fast forward 9,950 years. Around three decades ago, humans applied the potential of liquid fermentation to create medicines. In 1978 Arthur Riggs and Keiichi Itakura produced the first biosynthetic insulin using E. coli as a single-celled manufacturing plant. The epiphany that single-celled bacteria and yeast are sugar-powered microfactories that can be utilized to synthesize novel compounds is one of the most powerful discoveries of the past 100 years.

Since that revolutionary insight occurred, science has been devoted to understanding, cultivating and ultimately reprogramming single-celled organisms such as yeast, bacteria and algae, and we've been using the process to make more lifesaving drugs, biobased fuels such as corn ethanol, fragrances and a growing suite of small biological molecules.

Smallsat manufacturers weigh megafactories versus microfactories - Information Global Internet https://www.merchant-business.com/smallsat-manufacturers-weigh-megafactories-versus-microfactories/?feed_id=204638&_unique_id=66ec1826e690c #GLOBAL - BLOGGER BLOGGER PARIS — While some smallsat manufacturers are scaling up production with new factories, others believe smaller, focused facilities are a better investment.Several satellite manufacturers have invested in recent years on large factories with the capacity for up to several hundred satellites per year, betting on growing demand for such spacecraft for communications, imaging and other applications for commercial and government customers.But a panel of smallsat executives at World Space Business Week here Sept. 18 was skeptical of so-called “megafactories,” concluding that their capacity far outstrips the accessible market.“Every month, there’s a new factory setting up to produce 10 satellites per day,” quipped Carsten Drachmann, chief executive of GomSpace. “That great, but who are you going to deliver to?”He and others were skeptical that there was enough demand to support such facilities, given that the largest constellations are largely being built in-house, like SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper.“Mass manufacturing assumes that megaconstellations will be the customers. I don’t believe a megaconstellation will ever outsource their manufacturing of their platforms,” said Walter Ballheimer, co-founder and chief executive of Reflex Aerospace. Those companies, he argued, want to maintain control of satellite production and make changes as needed.A study released by Novaspace Sept. 17 forecast an average of 3,700 satellites launched annually from 2024 through 2033. However, 65% of those satellites will come from four systems — Starlink and Project Kuiper along with China’s Guowang and Qianfan — that are inaccessible to satellite manufacturers.Maxime Puteaux, lead author of the Novaspace report, said on the panel that the study found that the total manufacturing capacity of all the suppliers included in the report is two to three times of the demand available to them.David Avino, founder and chief executive of Argotec, said he did not believe megafactories can provide a suitable return on investment for manufacturers. “Most of these satellites will not be required by the market.”Some instead advocated for what Ballheimer called “microfactories” that are smaller and more specialized, requiring less capital expenditures or capex to build out. Such facilities can be built in multiple countries to support national programs and, he said, cost “single-digit millions” to complete.“We think committing a huge capex to one centralized, big factory is counterproductive in terms of government business,” he said. “Many of the clients we see want capabilities to be national. They want to see the satellites produced in their countries. We can do that easily by building small microfactories, which are very cost-efficient.”Sanjay Nekkanti, chief executive of Indian smallsat manufacturer Dhruva Space, said his company is focused for now on serving Indian customers but is studying how to expand by working with other manufacturers.“What are the future things that we can produce out of the facility?” he said, taking advantage of Indian initiatives in privatizing space capabilities to offer its factory to foreign manufacturers looking to expand. “It’s important to look at how our factory could cater to global markets.” http://109.70.148.72/~merchant29/6network/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/13.jpg PARIS — While some smallsat manufacturers are scaling up production with new factories, others believe smaller, focused facilities are a better investment.

What was put out there just now was well received and people do like what they're seeing and hearing as ideas they feel like doing things and they feel like being brave and they feel like getting stuff done all of that adds up to them being able to do something about what's happening they're complaining a lot and bothering people and stealing from each other saying they win everything and it's a damn nightmare it's going to go on a little bit of course but it's been a living nightmare for people okay if it's just an awful awful awful stuff and they are trying to rectify it this idea and others that are coming from other people are actually helping out. It is working it's going forward and there are several ideas coming out right now from near our son on what to do about there manufacturing situation which is abysmal and they have factories and they are having trouble turning them on and our son says that you make microfactories then you load your stuff into the factory and you start over again making micro factories or something else that the factory needs and they said that's an idea and because it spreads it out to a whole bunch of places and bunch of people and it doesn't concentrate it and people need business and jobs in the community they're going to go ahead and try and start that it is an idea that they've been entertaining it is the way that businesses in the past have started in the old days and it's going back a ways but it works very well it's also something for scrappers and people to get parts from all sorts of different things and to bring them in and they can do it without being detected immediately

-we have a lot of warnings and we're issuing warnings here certain people are sick and they're going nuts about just about everything one of them is John remillard we don't need his help and we don't want him near and he can't stand it apparently we are going to have to do something about it immediately he's pathetic and horrible

-other people are also very gross the pseudo empire doesn't want them doing anything and they don't do anything you put it both together and you have a recipe for disaster we don't have time for it and they're bothering everybody they're not doing their Trump plan and they're being huge ass holes I think they get something by being mean and we're going to have to go to town on them

-there's a whole bunch of bunkers in the Eastern hemisphere that are falling we listed some last night they were under severe attack the once in India and Pakistan both are defunct there are several left across the land and it is in southern Europe those are also defunct and there are a few more that we are talking about and boy these people are irritating senile pieces of s*** and that was one of John remillard's idiot kids or clones really there are more of them I ran Iraq had three in the desert area two of them have fallen there were three in Saudi Arabia two of them have fallen there are four in the Gobi desert three of them have fallen there are or were five in the Sahara four of them have fallen and in Europe there at 40% and 20% pretty soon Europe will not have sudo empire.. it's going that way right now and we are getting help yes. With all of these things failing the pseudo empire is starting to have a conniption there's only several bunkers left and they will be out completely shortly all the other bunkers are defined and they're being taken and controlled and run by morlock we're now looking for items for manufacturing and they're looking for parts and they don't have any and it's abysmal and we told them the whole time and John remillard is still sitting there doing nothing and saying he is it's disgusting and despicable and they're looking to buy out his share in the companies and they're doing it now and they are taking factories of his cuz he's sitting there doing nothing. Jenna thought about the beer and she thought these trumpsters will buy it and her people are saying we want it cuz we want to say we shouldn't be sitting on our Duff but we are and she smiled and says yes but you are and she heard our son say yes but that's what they do and then they said no so she gets it.

There's a lot of things she wants to do and Duff is one of them and it's going to go well it's a good idea.

I have the bunkers in the eastern hemisphere in Africa about 80% are taking over and being renovated in about 50% complete in Asia 70% are taken and being renovated the others are still being fought over but they're almost in the bag and they will be shortly and they're about 30% complete and loaded up is what we mean in Middle East and a caucuses about the same 80% are according to off and taken out of that 20% of renovated and filled the 20% left are falling Russia 80% are taken and cordoned off and 70% are up to speed the rest of the 20% are destroyed the others are still remaining and they're trying to take them intact on the Eastern hemisphere southern Europe 80% taken 70% renovated revenue 20% or outstanding northern Europe 80% taken 70% complete the remaining 20% are defined and broken and beyond repair and we did check in there mangled the concrete is broken everywhere and caved in and the walls are broken it'll be a hopeless venture and the walls are a mild thick they're just gigantic yeah but the bunkers are 60 miles wide and 80 miles the other way and 100 miles deep and the sun says you just pour a wall on the inside and they want to know how you do it and he said you just drill a hole a hole the only problem is it might be too heavy if they did calculate it and waste too much so he says he can't figure it out and there's some pretty good breaks in it too so they might reconstitute but it's a lot of work

Some things you can do but we don't want to mention them there's certain people who are problem and they always come around and start begging and I want them out

Thor Freya

We have a lot of stuff to do and he's always horsing around cuz it's so much pressure but it's helping me

Hera

You're saying it's a tall order but he gets it filled now we're having a lot of fun here in Walmart is not doing anything just looking at some things try to find some goo remover for his helmet and he can't it's too expensive it's going to try and get some other stuff but not much which is good

Olympus

We're moving forwards and the firebird is coming to life and he'll need money for it and they realize that and the social security might move and they looked at the movie with Thanos and they want to fight him and get up to speed on stuff and that's a heck of a program in system
