METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE, INTEGRATED MYCOTECTURE FOR RAPID DEPLOYMENT AND SCALEUP
A data collection and analysis method aligns data across processes and products. The method includes collecting data in real time; mapping the data to a matrix between function and data points; and multiplexing the data. An integrated manufacturing process of a plurality of intermediate and final products from mycelium includes collecting data from the system at intervals; analyzing the data; iteratively optimizing the manufacturing process from the processed data; and generating environmental certifications from the processed data. An adaptive, unified mycotecture platform in conjunction with a digital recording and analysis system monitors and iteratively optimizes growth, harvest, packaging, quality control, and payment. The platform includes a manufacturing facility(ies) having a growing section, a storage section, and a manufacturing section. The facility has one or more of sensors, rapid-deploy scaffolding, a reconfigurable press, a brick extractor, a mixer, an autoclave, a laboratory, bar coding, and an interactive software application.
