This paper describes the infrastructure systems within the SILLY automation architecture, focusing on the physical environment that supports unit operation. Infrastructure includes garage and maintenance systems responsible for storage, charging, startup, shutdown, inspection, and repair. The design emphasizes simple, repeatable physical processes, clear separation from coordination layers, and consistent interaction models. By maintaining predictable unit flow and minimizing system complexity, the infrastructure layer provides a reliable foundation for scalable automation.
