SABO has commissioned for Redblocsystems a new line for the construction of prefabricated wall elements in Büchenbeuren, Germany. The line is semiautomatic which means that the assembly of every single layer is done by people with the use of assisted means (manipulators) and the rest of the operations is done automatically by machines (i.e building, gluing and drilling the layers together with the handling of the ready wall).
As in the fully automatic version, the creation of the construction drawings of the walls from the architectural ones is done seamlessly with a combination of special software and the information is reaching the people that are building the layer via a screen. This very important feature essentially means that all kinds of different drawings can be implemented through a made-to-order system. In addition, the use of a special glue as a bonding mean ensures further the simplicity and efficiency of the line.
Such a system, even though not fully automatic ensures high productivity and quality since it involves operations in a controlled industrial environment and process.
The line is designed in such a way that it can be easily upgraded to a fully automatic one. Redblocsystems and SABO have developed for their prospective customers a phased investment that can be applied by scaling up not only the level of automation but also the functionality of the plant in various steps.
Such an introductory line gives the ability to companies from the building sector to enter prefabrication with the minimum amount of necessary investment and proceed more cautious according to the market outlook. This has already created big interest to many sector participants that are considering introducing prefabrication solutions in the market.
The project was the second one delivered after the installation of a fully automatic plant in Saint-Georgen, Austria which incorporated a very high level of functionality and wall building options that can meet high standards and special wall requirements. A third one - also fully automatic - is currently installed in South Austria.
Finally, through such lines and solutions, a traditional product like the ceramic block with long history, big evolution and superior properties can continue to thrive in a world that is trying to embrace the many real benefits of the prefabrication.
