Abstract:
A system and method for a self-contained modular manufacturing device having self-contained modular tools configured to collectively accomplish a specific task or function. In an embodiment, the modular device includes a housing that has a mount configured to engage a robotic arm or other form of maneuvering actuator (such a crane or gantry). The housing may provide a base by which additional modules may be mounted and coupled. The modular device also includes an interface configured to communicate with a remote control system capable of control the robotic arm. The modular device also includes one or more other modules that are configured to accomplish a particular task or function. Such modules are sometimes called end-effectors and work in conjunction with each other to accomplish tasks and functions. In a self-contained modular manufacturing device, individual processors disposed in the housing may be configured to control the functional tools (e.g., each end-effector) independent of the overall manufacturing control system.

Claim (Index 7):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n at least one local controller is further configured to receive an electronic start signal from the master control system that causes the at least one local controller to initiate the manufacturing function; and the at least one local controller is further configured to send an electronic finish signal to the master control system or to at least one other local controller indicating that manufacturing function is accomplished.
