In this video we take things a step further, picking up a large truss from the bottom chord, leaving it hanging upside down. Even with the unusual orientation, the robotic system handles it with stability and precision. This demonstration shows the versatility of automation in truss movement, proving that even non-standard picks are possible without issue.

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.

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.

Avalon Robotics’ innovative concept for preplating webs in open web floor trusses. This overview delves into the proven preplating process, offering insights into how it enhances efficiency and streamlines truss manufacturing. Learn about the steps, benefits, and potential applications of this automation concept, designed to optimize workflows and revolutionize the construction industry.

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.

This two-story modular manufacturing facility maximizes vertical space, providing a compact yet highly efficient environment for producing fully automated walls, floors, and ceilings for modular construction projects. With automated systems and robotics strategically arranged across both floors, this facility minimizes its footprint, making it an ideal solution for densely populated urban areas where space is at a premium.

The upper level houses specific assembly stations and storage solutions, while the ground floor focuses on production flow, handling, and staging. Materials and components move seamlessly between floors via automated lifts, ensuring uninterrupted workflow and reducing manual handling. By centralizing operations in a vertical design, the facility allows workers to enjoy a consistent, single location, reducing commute times and boosting job satisfaction. This two-story setup not only enhances inventory and production management but also demonstrates a modern, efficient approach to urban manufacturing, perfectly suited for cities with limited space but high construction demand.
