UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL OF THE DIAMAGNETIC MICRO FACTORY*
Pelrine Innovations is a research, design and development company focused on innovative automation using novel materials and new technologies. We believe that cutting edge technologies and novel materials can reinvent the world. We also believe that the value of a technology lies in its practical application and its ability to foster new and diverse development…which is why we are pleased to introduce the Diamagnetic Micro Factory…a platform designed to transform automation.
The diamagnetic micro factory system is a platform technology that can support applications across a range of industries as well as non-manufacturing processes. Through Pelrine Innovations, you can purchase a working beta level diamagnetic micro factory platform, activate your system, and customize it to meet your unique business and research needs. Join a community of like-minded researchers and developers focused on paradigm shifting solutions to business operations.
The diamagnetic micro factory is a complex system of local magnetic fields generated by a circuit board. A configurable software program manipulates the field to move miniature robots, which are themselves magnet arrays. Each individual robot is part of a collective…like ants in a colony…and every robot has a specialized task to perform. Tasks are performed by each robot’s end-effector, tools that can be used to manipulate any material. These robots can assemble almost anything…from massive to tiny. Compact systems of more than 1,000 micro robots have been assembled and demonstrated.

CAPABILITIES
manipulate any material
Micro factory robots can manipulate and deposit any substance…solid, liquid, powder, or paste.
heterogeneous fabrication
The Micro factory platform enables heterogeneous fabrication at the micro level, enabling different materials to be combined into a single structure.
swarming ability
Swarm and multi-agent integration and dynamics can provide coordinated and massive parallelism.
long distance transport and integration
Micro factory platforms provide long distance transport and integration across multiple devices and systems, enabling warehouse and storage libraries.
