The list of advantages of automated modular construction is long. It ranges from higher efficiency and unparalleled quality to improved working conditions and sustainability in construction.

A specific example: construction time is shortened by up to 70 percent. Furthermore, the total cost is less by a quarter (compared to conventional building methods). Only the creation of the foundation and final assembly are carried out at the construction site.

Automated home construction is a key topic for the future with innovative drive, and one that KUKA is already implementing with customers – for example with a leading supplier for 3D modular home construction in England.

In 2024, for thefirst time in Germany, a flexible turnkey system will be completed in cooperation with a company for sustainable and serial construction. A special feature here is the AGV-based distribution center, which allows maximum flexibility for end customers. With a degree of automation of up to 86 percent, the new production line can produce a wall element in just 17 minutes. The infographic provides valuable insight.
