ABB Robotics and Porsche Consulting collaborate on a pilot project aimed at leveraging automation to make modular housing more affordable, sustainable, and efficient.
ABB Robotics and Porsche Consulting are joining forces to ignite a transformation in the construction sector. Through a pioneering pilot project, the collaboration aims to drive innovation in modular housing manufacturing. The joint venture seeks to address pressing challenges such as the demand for affordable housing, labor shortages, and the environmental impact of traditional construction methods. Porsche Consulting executives noted that the project aims to combine ABB’s cutting-edge robotic solutions with Porsche Consulting’s expertise in efficient factory operations. Marc Segura, President of the ABB Robotics Division, highlighted that smarter automation could be a game-changer for the construction industry, offering increased productivity, customization capabilities, and more sustainable construction procedures.
Labor shortages are a significant hindrance to housing availability, contributing to a nearly four-million-home shortfall in the United States. Traditional construction struggles with sustainability and efficiency, especially with issues like material wastage, which can account for up to 25% of the materials transported to a construction site. Modular construction, backed by automation, offers a promising solution by reducing material waste and minimizing weather-related delays while providing a safer working environment. The collaboration between ABB Robotics and Porsche Consulting aims to redefine modular construction by incorporating advanced robotics and intelligent automation, setting new benchmarks in affordability, sustainability, and efficiency.
