LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Machina Labs, which combines AI and robotics to rapidly manufacture advanced composite and metal products, today announced that the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) at Robins Air Force Base is the first organization in the U.S. Air Force to utilize the company’s innovative Deployable System capable of manufacturing parts for repair and sustainment on various aircraft platforms. Combining the power of AI and robotics with unparalleled portability, Machina Labs’ Deployable System enables WR-ALC to increase on-site production manufacturing for parts that have been difficult to source or are no longer being manufactured for aging aircraft. Robins Air Force Base, located 100 miles south of Atlanta and 16 miles south of Macon, is the largest single-site industrial complex in Georgia, employing almost 24,000 civilians, contractors, and military members. Sustaining aging aircraft can be challenging and expensive, especially finding replacement parts as many older aircraft have components that are no longer in production or legacy suppliers are no longer in business. Machina’s technology allows Robins Air Force Base to overcome these challenges and rapidly begin producing parts immediately after setting up the Deployable System and at a lower cost than traditional methods
Robotics and AI innovator Machina Labs has expanded its local footprint with the signing of a five-year lease for a 60,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse in Chatsworth.
