The collaboration between Porsche Consulting and <a href=\"https:\/\/new.abb.com\/products\/robotics\/robots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABB Robotics<\/a> was created for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The two organisations hope their combined capabilities will improve modular housing manufacturing efficiency, safety, and sustainability throughout the housing production sector.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We see a compelling opportunity to revolutionise the construction of homes by automating the manufacturing of modular components,\u201d commented Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnhanced and intelligent automation serves as a solution to the pervasive labour shortages, and this partnership promises increased productivity, greater customisation, and the promotion of sustainable, efficient construction practices,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<h3>Construction robotics can improve safety and efficiency<\/h3>\n<p>The integration of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/how-will-construction-robotics-change-industry\/129792\/\">robotics in construction<\/a> offers significant advantages, including cost savings, continuous 24\/7 operation, consistent task automation, enhanced safety through precision navigation, and adaptability with AI algorithms. Although initial costs may be high, the long-term benefits make the investment worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By integrating ABB&#8217;s leading robotic solutions with Porsche Consulting&#8217;s proficiency in the strategic planning and operation of state-of-the-art factories, we aspire to be catalysts of change within the construction industry,\u201d said Porsche chairman, Eberhard Weiblen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Highly automated factory-based construction assures higher quality and more cost-effective housing and fosters safer and more conducive working conditions. Construction accounts for approximately 30% of workplace injuries, with a fourfold higher risk of fatal accidents compared to other sectors,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche Consulting has partnered with ABB Robotics to work on technology for modular housing manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38487],"tags":[688,916,627,148511],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-133904","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-construction-technology-news","7":"tag-digital-construction","8":"tag-modern-methods-of-construction","9":"tag-modular-construction","10":"tag-process-automation"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Porsche and ABB to work on modular housing manufacturing tech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Porsche Consulting has partnered with ABB Robotics to work on technology for modular housing manufacturing\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/porsche-abb-robotics-work-modular-housing-manufacturing-tech\/133904\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Porsche and ABB Robotics to work on modular housing manufacturing tech\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Porsche Consulting has partnered with ABB Robotics to work on technology for modular housing manufacturing.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/porsche-abb-robotics-work-modular-housing-manufacturing-tech\/133904\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
