This onsite wall panel system revolutionizes residential framing by using robotics to assemble wall panels directly at the construction site. The system arrives in three 40-foot containers, delivered by semis and set up on the ground, creating a compact, efficient onsite factory. By building panels on location, this system eliminates the high costs and logistical challenges of transporting bulky, pre-fabricated wall panels from an offsite facility.

Once set up, a single operator controls the automated assembly process, guiding the robots as they cut, position, and fasten each panel with precision. This streamlined setup improves the quality and consistency of each wall panel, reducing errors and rework. As panels are completed, they are quickly moved to their installation points using a telehandler, which allows for smooth, efficient delivery within the site. This innovative approach not only accelerates the framing process but also provides significant cost savings and ensures high-quality framing tailored precisely to each build, redefining speed and efficiency in residential construction.

This one-story modular manufacturing facility is a streamlined, centralized hub dedicated to the efficient production of fully automated walls, floors, and ceilings for modular construction. Inside, advanced robotics and automation systems handle assembly, ensuring high-quality precision and consistency across every component. By consolidating operations in a single location, this facility allows workers to benefit from a stable work environment, eliminating the need to move between job sites daily.

Beyond improved workforce satisfaction, this setup enhances inventory management, with materials consistently stocked and monitored on-site, reducing delays. Production management and planning are optimized through integrated systems that track workflow, predict needs, and ensure seamless operation from start to finish. This facility stands as a comprehensive solution to modular construction, balancing automation with a consistent workspace to drive productivity, quality, and worker satisfaction.

In this video, we take a closer look at the cable robot concept. Join me for a walkaround as I explain what it is, how it works, and why it could change the way truss plants handle material.

This explainer provides the big-picture view: safer handling, automated saw loading, and scalable automation designed to fit real manufacturing environments.

From above, you can see the cable robot perform three different truss movements in one seamless sequence:

Single pick to single place
Single pick to dual places
Single pick with a larger truss

The overhead angle highlights the smooth flow of each move, the precision of placement, and the adaptability of the system as it transitions between truss sizes and destinations. This perspective shows how automation can bring order, efficiency, and reliability to truss handling in the plant.

In this demonstration video, a real robot is equipped with a specialized rebar tying gun to precisely secure rebar joints, showcasing the feasibility of automating this traditionally manual task. The robot, programmed for accurate, consistent movement, positions the tying gun at each rebar intersection and performs a secure tie with precision, ensuring optimal stability and alignment of the rebar structure. This demonstration highlights the potential for automated rebar tying to improve safety, speed, and consistency on construction sites, proving that robots can reliably handle rebar assembly with minimal human intervention. This prototype setup serves as a foundational step towards integrating robotic solutions for rebar tying, illustrating how automation can streamline labor-intensive processes in construction.

In this demo, we show the cable robot picking stock from different bunk lengths and placing them onto a simulated linear saw infeed. Even without a physical saw in place, the concept demonstrates how automation can streamline the process, reduce manual handling, and keep material flowing efficiently.
