thesis
Our goal is to minimize the cost delta between raw materials
and manufactured goods as low as humanly robotically possible.
Henry Ford's assembly line made cars extremely cheap - the factory was the product. This ideology made a lot of other production processes across industries very cheap. Mass production kept price of manufactured products lower. But, not everything is mass produced.
What if we brought mass-production like capabilities to products that are not mass produced. These are capital goods like homes & buildings, machineries, public infrastructure, trucks, planes, coaches and trains, oil and gas rigs, furniture, and a lot of everyday products that are fabricated metal.
How? With Robots and AI.
With our Robot & Software first factories built for volume-agnostic; high-variability manufacturing, we make it faster, cheaper and easier to manufacture products and build cities.
In a way, we are imagining this as AWS (Amazon Web Services) for manufacturing
Instead of servers - it is fully automated robots and machines built in-house.
Instead of data centers - it is high-tech, internet-first factories built and operated by us.
Instead of the AWS software interface - it is our proprietary tool on the internet - where one can just drag, drop & JUST MANUFACTURE! (justmanufacture.com)
The Unlock.
Businesses always get the best combination of price, quality, reliability and speed - lowest cost, certified quality, fastest turnaround.
With us, engineers and designers no longer have to:
- Spend time discovering vendors - every part is made to spec, with an automated QC certificate for every part.
- Wait for vendor's DFM reviews - get instant DFM feedback on every part, powered by our rules engine and deep learning models.
- Convert 3D drawings to 2D - just upload, configure, and manufacture.
- Wait for quotes - we quote instantly and often ship before others even quote.
- Live with long lead times - our factories run 24/7.
- Follow up with vendors for status - everything is tracked online.
- Overpay for inefficiency - process optimization and robot-first factories lower cost.
After: Design - Upload - Just Manufacture!
Internet was the virtual manifestation playground - It started mostly for hobby use - but, now most valuable companies are internet companies. We are the manifestation playground for physical world.
