Patent ID: 7292908

Claim:
A system for manufacturing a customized prefabricated building comprising: a computer-usable medium having a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes said processor to execute a process including receiving a specification for a customized building that identifies components for the building and the dimensions of the components, modularizing the specification for prefabrication into modules meeting overall length, width, and height limitations, and optimizing the modularization; a programmable manufacturing system controller coupled to the computer-usable medium and configured to generate instructions for manufacturing the said optimized modules having the plurality of components identified in the specification received by the computer-usable medium; and a set of assembly line machine tools coupled to the programmable manufacturing controller configured to execute the instructions generated by the programmable manufacturing controller for building the said optimized modules having the specified plurality of components; wherein modularizing the specification comprises arbitrarily modularizing to meet the length, width and height limitations, without using any pre-defined modules.
