The invention relates to an autonomous flexible manufacturing system for building a fuselage. A method of establishing a distributed utility network includes: driving a tower to a selected tower location relative to a utility clamp across a floor; and coupling a plurality of utilities between the tower and the utility clamp to establish a distributed utility network. 本发明涉及用于建造机身的自主柔性制造系统。一种建立分布式公用物网络的方法包括：横跨地板相对于公用物夹具将塔架驱动到选定的塔架位置；以及在塔架和公用物夹具之间联接若干公用物，以建立分布式公用物网络。
