know-how , and tech leadership to guide the company toward sustainable growth and innovation . In an industry traditionally slow to adopt new technologies , we ’ re using AI and automation to revolutionize how construction projects are managed and as CEO my job is making sure we offer solutions that will improve efficiency , reduce waste , and drive profitability for our clients .
Tell me more about the Robotic Micro Factories – explain their tech and how they work ?
Each Micro-Factory container has one ABB robot arm and additional proprietary hardware developed by AUAR for the robot such as its end effector , automated saw and assembly table . The robot arm starts by scanning piles of sheet material and timber lengths to gain insights on the positioning of materials within the container . The robot then starts cutting standard timber lengths into precise components . This is done using AUAR ’ s automated saw within the container that ensures accuracy and minimizes waste . Once the timber lengths are cut , the robots assemble the timber lengths and standard timber sheets into timber frame panels . This highly automated process includes tasks such as nailing and lifting , all handled by the robots .
Throughout the process , the Micro- Factory , which is equipped with vision systems and AI , performs continuous quality checks . The flexibility of the robotic systems in the container allows for customization of the modular units . This means that homes produced by an AUAR Micro-Factory can be tailored to specific designs and requirements without any changes to the production process . After assembly , the timber frame panels are transported to the construction site , where they are quickly and efficiently put together to form the final structure .
AUAR ’ s software platform is comprised of design-for-manufacture and assembly micro-services that AUAR and its partners use to automate the collection of design
