Level throughput balancing is an aspect of advanced nanofactory design.

The production and consumption rates of the meeting assembly levels must roughly fit together.
The production rates depend on:

  • The density of operational spots of the assembly method. Hardcoded mill style (spots are dense) or general purpouse manipulator style (spots are sparse)
  • Operation speed dependent dissipation power and cooling system capacity.

To match the layers together one needs to consider:

  • the step sub-product sizes between the assembly layers (how many small parts will be assembled to many big ones)
  • wether the size of the assembly method lies nearer to the size of the sub-products of the assembly level below or nearer to the sub-products of the assemble level above.
