Multi agent 3D printer and robot system for mass personalization faas platform

Factory as a Service is a mass personalization service platform. The system consists of three platforms; portal cloud system, manufacturing execution platform and manufacturing operation platform including IoT based manufacturing instruments called micro smart factory. The smart factory include almost all the manufacturing process instruments; manufacturing instrument such as 3D printer, post-processing instruments, inspection instrument, transfer instrument, and packing instruments. The smart factory works in multi agent system based on IoT middleware. Each instrument transfers fundamental information of product part and operation command. This system has continued to be evolved to be autonomous control Micro Smart Factory including intelligent instruments.
