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.

Complete LGS Panel Line | Framing, Blocking & Sheathing Stations in Action
Step into the future of light gauge steel construction with this full walkthrough of a complete LGS panel line. From precision framing to integrated blocking and automated sheathing, this video showcases every station along the line — including all conveyance systems that keep production flowing. Whether you’re in modular construction, prefab, or panelized building, this system offers a clear look at how automation can streamline structural panel production from start to finish.

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.

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 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.

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.
