In this demo, our cable robot takes truss handling a step further. Picking from one position and placing in two different destinations. This flexibility shows how automation can adapt to production needs, streamline workflow, and reduce manual handling risks.

By expanding from a single place to multiple places, we unlock new ways to optimize stacking, staging, and plant layout. Watch as the system demonstrates both precision and adaptability in real-time truss movement.

The roof member preplate system is a highly efficient, containerized solution for precision nail plate placement in truss manufacturing. Housed within a 40-foot container, this automated system is designed for quick setup in a manufacturing facility. Equipped with robotic arms that pick nail plates from organized bins, the system accurately places and attaches each plate on roof members according to exact specifications. This precision in placement allows for smaller, appropriately sized nail plates to be used, reducing overall steel usage and lowering material costs without compromising structural integrity.

Once the members are preplated, they are batched together according to each truss before being delivered to the assembly tables. This ensures that all necessary components for a specific truss arrive together, streamlining the assembly process and reducing handling time for operators. By organizing components in advance, the system enhances production flow and efficiency, setting a new standard in component fabrication for truss manufacturing.

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.

Avalon Robotics explores how cable-driven automation can transform truss plant operations, improving safety and productivity.

The Avalon Robotics Door Picking System is an intelligent robotic solution designed to select and organize doors directly from storage racks, enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility. This system identifies, selects, and arranges doors according to the specific sequence required for production or installation.
With advanced recognition and handling technology, the Door Picking System carefully lifts and organizes doors into a precise order, ready for the next stages of production. By streamlining the picking and stacking process, it ensures that doors are accessible in the correct order, reducing production delays and improving workflow. This automation minimizes manual handling, lowers the risk of door damage, and supports a more organized and efficient manufacturing environment.

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.

The single robotic panel system is a fast and versatile solution designed for efficient panel production in either wood or cold-formed steel (CFS) construction. Engineered for speed, it can be set up to handle one material type at a time, allowing it to efficiently complete batches of panels in either wood or CFS. Once a batch of one material is completed, the system can quickly switch over to the other material type, making it ideal for manufacturers who need flexibility in production without sacrificing pace.

This streamlined system assembles panel frameworks with precision, using advanced automation to place studs and fasteners accurately. After each panel is framed, window and door openings are added manually, enabling easy customization as needed. Built to optimize throughput, this system is perfect for high-speed, batch-oriented production while delivering reliable quality across both wood and steel construction projects.
