- 8. The three-dimensional manufacturing and assembly plant according to claim 6, and further comprising a utility unit provided adjacent to said floor of said cubic lattice of said assembly line supporting structure for pipes for air-conditioning and supplying water, a control board for controlling equipment, and ventilation equipment.
- 9. The three-dimensional manufacturing and assembly plant according to claim 6, wherein said floor members forming said floors are made of one of gratings, stamped members and netting members.
- 10. A three-dimensional manufacturing and assembly plant, comprising:
- a storage section comprising a three-dimensional high-rise rack having a plurality of shelves, said shelves being disposed in a plurality of vertically spaced layers;
- an assembly section comprising means for supporting and housing a plurality of vertically tiered manufacturing assembly lines, said means including a plurality of assembly spaces vertically tiered on both sides of said three-dimensional rack so as to define a relatively long and narrow space between said assembly section and said three-dimensional rack on both sides of said three-dimensional rack, each said assembly space comprising structural members defining said assembly space, and said assembly spaces having respective floors, at least a portion of each said floor comprising a floor member detachably mounted to said structural members each said floor member having an open lattice structure such that said floor members are transparent and ventilative; and
- means provided in a said space between said storage section and said assembly section freely moveable between said three-dimensional rack and said assembly section in horizontal and vertical directions for transferring articles therebetween, said means comprising a stacker crane.
- 11. The plant of claim 10, wherein said assembly spaces are vertically tiered and horizontally interconnected so as to surround said three-dimensional rack.
- 12. The plant of claim 10, wherein at least one staircase interconnects each vertical tier of said assembly spaces.
- 13. The plant of claim 10, wherein said structural members of each said assembly space comprises a plurality of frame members arranged lengthwise and crosswise and defining an assembly unit.
- 14. The plant of claim 13, wherein said assembly units and said three-dimensional rack have sides adjacent to each other which are open ended so that articles can be freely transferred between said assembly unit and said three-dimensional rack.
- 15. The plant of claim 13, wherein said assembly section further comprises means for receiving air-conditioning equipment, water supply equipment, a control board for controlling equipment and ventilation equipment, said means for receiving comprising a plurality of utility units provided adjacent to said assembly units.
