Encyclopedia description
Assembling a wide range of sophisticated electronics such as used aboard vessels and space installations, High Tech Fabs are examples of successful collaboration between advanced AGI (artificial general intelligence) and highly-skilled humans or aliens. Besides the production of high tech components, High Tech Fabs usually include research facilities and laboratories that constantly study new products and, more importantly, optimisation of existing manufacturing processes.
