Industrial Automation as a Service
A business model where the complex machinery of production is abstracted away via APIs, allowing users to order "manufacturing" or "logistics" as easily as cloud computing.
Just as AWS (Amazon Web Services) allowed startups to rent servers instead of building data centers, I3AS (Industrial Automation as a Service) allows companies to rent factories. Through Vulcan Forge and Cornucopia Robotics, TUC provides the physical layer. A client simply uploads a CAD file and pays a fee; the network handles the materials sourcing, the 3D printing, the quality control, and the drone delivery. The client never touches a machine. This democratizes heavy industry, lowering the barrier to entry for physical product innovation to nearly zero.
