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.

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.

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 Door Frame Assembly Cell is a robotic system designed to streamline and automate the assembly of interior door trim, specifically for mounting the inside trim pieces against which the door closes in the frame. This cell precisely positions and secures the trim components onto the door frame, ensuring accurate alignment and consistency across assemblies. Equipped with a router, the system efficiently cuts and finishes door striker holes to meet specified measurements and alignment, readying the door for secure locking and optimal functionality.

After completing each door frame assembly, the robotic cell automatically transfers the finished product to a dedicated stacking area, where it carefully places each frame on a transport cart. This stacking mechanism is engineered for stability and easy cart removal, minimizing downtime and expediting transportation to the next production stage. The Door Frame Assembly Cell is designed to boost productivity, quality, and safety by eliminating manual handling, reducing potential errors, and ensuring consistent, precise construction in each assembled door frame.

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.

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.
