Building industrialization: robotized assembly of modular products
A changing paradigm in the construction industry is presented, as response to the productivity increase needs. The industrialization of this industry goes throw modular assembly. A review of related concepts is presented and a classification of assembly process according the complexity of the prefabricated parts. As transportation is a cost and waste factor, two alternatives of assembly are presented according to the relative location of assemblies factories and the construction place. The first is the assembly of prefabricated parts made offsite and the second propose to assembly of simplest and smaller prefabricated parts on site. Two examples of each strategies are presented to support the authors reasoning. The mobile factory that assembles in a flexible way simple parts to build on site an assembly is presented. The restrictions in size, weight and complexity will be taken in account from the beginning of the overall construction project and can be minimized applying the modularization of on site mobile factory. The benefits of practical application of a lean production driven field factory would be demonstrated during the ManuBuild project execution.
