Systems and methods for designing and manufacturing customized
prefabricated buildings in optimized modules. In one embodiment, a system
for manufacturing a customized prefabricated building includes 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 prefabricated
building that identifies components for the prefabricated building and
the dimensions of the components, modularizing the specification 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 manufacturing system 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.
