BROOKLYN, NY—Nanotronics, a science technology company, last week celebrated the opening of its flagship manufacturing center here, located in the Navy Yard's historic Building 20, a 150-year-old former shipbuilding factory. Nanotronics specializes in combining AI, automation and sophisticated imaging to manufacture hardware and software capable of working on a nanometer scale.
Designed by Rogers Partners Architects + Urban Designers, the factory will house many aspects of the company’s business, from research and development to production and design, while ensuring quality and safety through its proprietary platform, Intelligent Factory Control (IFC). Nanotronics' artificial intelligence researchers, computer scientists, chemists and physicists will be able to work directly with skilled machinists on the manufacturing floor, developing innovations that will lead partner industries to a smaller factory footprint, less waste and a faster route from R&D to production.
