SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MATRIX MANUFACTURING WITH WORK CELLS

A manufacturing matrix can include a plurality of work cells. The manufacturing matrix can include a plurality of robotic arms disposed in the plurality of work cells to produce a construction product. The manufacturing matrix can include a storage location to store inventory including at least one of the material, the tool, the subassembly of the construction product, or a completed construction product. The manufacturing matrix can include a transportation system to move the inventory within the manufacturing matrix. The manufacturing matrix can include a data processing system communicably coupled with the plurality of robotic arms and the transportation system. The data processing system can provide a first instruction to a first robotic arm cell and a second instruction to a second robotic arm of the second work cell.

A manufacturing system including an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) structure with a three-dimensional array of storage locations distributed throughout a two-dimensional footprint of the ASRS structure at multiple storage levels; workpieces stored within the storage locations of the ASRS structure; robotic storage/retrieval vehicles (RSRVs) navigable within the ASRS structure in three dimensions to access the storage locations, and multiple manufacturing cells positioned outside the ASRS structure, is provided. The manufacturing system includes a track structure attached to the ASRS structure and defining one or more travel paths traversable by the RSRVs from the ASRS structure. The same fleet of RSRVs that is navigable within the ASRS structure is operable to deliver the workpieces to the manufacturing cells. One or more of the manufacturing cells are positioned along the track structure, thereby receiving convenient access to the workpieces along with associated tool pieces and workpiece supports for manufacturing goods.
