BUSINESS
Not exactly. We SUPPORT the manufacturing industry, specifically building component and offsite construction companies. Yes, we manufacture automated systems, but we also provide software and outstanding customer support and training. We integrate ABB robots, our preplate cells, and patented end-of-arm-tooling with a variety of industry-standard equipment to manufacture roof and floor trusses and wall panels.
We focus on bringing advanced technologies and innovation to the building component, modular, and offsite construction industries. We are open to investment in the research and development of potential products based on the expanding needs of the construction and building component industries.
We believe in the collaboration of people and robotics and how that connection can bolster industries in new, expansive, and unimaginable ways. The repetitive, dangerous, and physically demanding duties now done by machinery frees up the human mind for the critical thinking tasks it’s best suited for. Likewise, giving workers the automation tools they deserve provides greater efficiencies and more desirable workplaces.
