The construction industry lives under a big tent filled with an array of toys, tools, tasks, technologies, and tradespeople. Automation and robots have a lot to offer this broad field by bringing precision, flexibility, and more control while also addressing ongoing skilled labor shortages and demand for work. Robotics applications can keep workers safe, reduce waste, and boost accuracy.
In this A3 article, TECH B2B Marketing contributor John Butler talks about how automation and robotics systems improve the construction industry by increasing productivity, work quality, and employee safety.
Companies that have incorporated automation report improvements in productivity, profitability, and efficiency, along with a reduction in waste. Automation and robotics offer great advantages across the construction continuum in areas such as fabrication applications that demand precision and repeatability in cutting, welding, and assembly. Often these processes are completed in an offsite facility, allowing for more efficiency and increased safety on the construction site. And the more automated that construction sites become, the more cost efficient they will be to operate.
However, the greatest challenge of all may be construction’s sluggishness to adopt automation. The main barriers within the industry include the scarcity of technological expertise and the limited availability of people capable of programming and operating robotics systems. Automation experts recommend gradually introducing automated tasks and making them adaptable, rather than trying to create a completely new system. Technology companies specializing in everything from processing automation to job-site robotic platforms are among those partners flattening the automation adoption curve.
