The V Company is the only manufacturing company in the world that provides custom mannequins, prosthetic hands, brain sensor helmets, dog goggles and action figures from the video games. They are only producing a few products for a large number of customers.

The V Company received different funds for investment so they are planning to automate the manufacturing process using the techniques of robotics. It is helpful to continue production in 24 hours.
