Robotics collaboration aims to automate the construction industry

“The construction industry is facing numerous challenges. Highly automated factories for buildings can deliver higher quality and more affordable housing. In combining ABB’s leading robotic solutions and Porsche Consulting’s knowledge in planning and running state-of-the-art factories, we want to help transform this important industry,” says Eberhard Weiblen, chairman of the executive board, Porsche Consulting. 

“We think there is a clear opportunity to transform this sector and the way homes are built by automating the process of manufacturing modular components,” added Marc Segura, president of the ABB Robotics Division. “Greater, more intelligent automation is the answer to widespread labour shortages and this collaboration will boost productivity, allow greater customisation and enable more sustainable and efficient construction practices.”
