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.

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.

This video takes the cable robot concept further, adding a full simulation to show the complete proposed application. From picking stock out of mixed bunk lengths to placing it on a simulated linear saw infeed, this demo highlights how the system can remove manual handling and improve efficiency in real-world truss plants.

Concept simulations like this help visualize the future of automation in component manufacturing.

In this advanced setup, the delivery conveyors for preplated roof members are positioned exclusively above the outfeed rollers, creating an efficient, streamlined workflow. This configuration provides a clear, uninterrupted path for completed trusses to be slid onto the outfeed rollers while new, preplated members are delivered directly to the assembly tables. By utilizing only the space above the outfeed rollers, the system maximizes floor space, reducing congestion around the assembly area and freeing up valuable space within the facility.

This overhead delivery solution not only improves workflow efficiency but also enhances safety by maintaining organized pathways around the tables. The clear division of incoming and outgoing material flows allows operators to work faster and more effectively, enabling a continuous and efficient cycle of truss production without compromising workspace.

A Smarter Way to Manage Orchards

We’re excited to announce that Avalon Robotics has officially filed a provisional patent for a revolutionary orchard management system designed to modernize and automate the entire agronomy process.

Our system transforms traditional orchard operations by integrating robotics, automation, and real-time data into one cohesive platform capable of:

• 🍎 Detecting fruit readiness and performing precision harvesting

• 📦 Sorting fruit at the point of harvest, not just at the packing house

• 💧 Monitoring ground moisture and executing adaptive irrigation

• 🐛 Identifying and treating pest and invasive species intrusions

• 🌿 Assessing plant health and performing pruning or maintenance

• 🚁 Flying an overhead robotic carriage system that deploys the right tool at the right time

• 🔄 Automatically switching tools mid-mission, without human intervention

• 📊 Forecasting crop yield and managing orchard-wide scheduling through AI

Instead of isolated machines performing single tasks, this system unifies all subsystems—plant care, pest control, soil management, harvesting—into a smart, self-adjusting platform. It operates continuously, adapting in real time to weather, soil conditions, and crop needs with minimal human oversight.

By sorting fruit as it’s picked—not hours later at a facility—we reduce waste, improve freshness, and enable better decision-making right in the field.

This is a major step toward fully autonomous, scalable orchard operations—and we’re just getting started.
