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.

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.

This side-profile view captures the cable robot performing three different movements in one seamless sequence:

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

From this angle, you can clearly see the precision, control, and smooth transitions between each motion. The demonstration highlights how automation can handle different truss sizes and placement patterns without interruption, proving its adaptability on the plant floor.

Whether it’s efficiency, safety, or flexibility. this system shows how robotic truss handling can change the way we move material in construction manufacturing.

Installed at a large home improvement retailer, this advanced lumber-picking system brings a new level of convenience and safety to the shopping experience. Using a robotic arm on a guided track, the system efficiently manages and picks lumber stored in a multi-layered racking structure. The racks are designed to hold different sizes and types of lumber—like 2x4x10s and 4x4x6s—on two primary picking layers, with a third layer dedicated to additional storage.

A customer simply selects their desired lumber type and quantity through a digital interface, for example, 10 pieces of 2x4x10 and 2 pieces of 2x12x12. Once selected, they can continue shopping while the system automatically calculates the optimal picking order to ensure a safe, balanced stack. The robot retrieves the requested items, organizes them, and sends the assembled stack through an automatic banding machine, securely preparing the order for pickup.

By the time the customer is ready to leave, their lumber is bundled and ready for easy pickup—eliminating the need for heavy lifting and reducing the risk of injury. This innovative installation at a home improvement retailer enhances shopper safety, saves time, and makes the lumber-buying experience smoother and more efficient.

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.

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.
