Abstract:
1. A processing system for customizing and incorporating workpieces into a manufactured item comprising a measuring device configured to determine a physical parameter of a space or structure being manufactured at a first work site which is remotely located off-line from a second work site, a signal transmitting device connected to the measuring device for transmitting a signal indicative of a physical parameter measured by the measuring device, a processing apparatus, located at the second work site, configured to alter material stock for incorporation in the structure being manufactured at the first work site, the processing apparatus including an automatic positioner cooperatively assembled upstream from a saw, and a controller connected to the processing apparatus at the second work site, the controller having a receiving device configured to receive signals from the transmitting device, the controller being programmed to move the positioner to an appropriate position relative to the saw, to initiate cutting of a workpiece according to the physical parameter measured by the measuring device to produce pieces dimensioned for incorporation in the structure being manufactured at the first work site.
