The construction industry employs over 13 million people in the EU and contributes about 11.1% to the GDP.
The construction industry faces a growing challenge as the younger generation shows limited interest in pursuing careers in the field, while the current workforce continues to age. This talent gap is impacting labour productivity and highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions to attract and retain skilled workers.
The most significant bottleneck in the EU construction sector is the shortage of labour, with 32.7% of construction companies citing it as a limitation. This concern has increased by over 30% in the last three years.
Labour shortages are driving up costs in the construction sector, while reduced workforce availability leads to fewer building completions. This combination not only inflates project expenses but also results in potential revenue declines for construction companies.
The Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics at CTU in Prague developed the robot's sensing system, navigation, advanced AI algorithms, and provided independent consultancy.
KM Robotics handled the engineering part, focusing on hardware and software integration, user interfaces, mechanical design, prototype production, and building simulation and test environments.
Wienerberger developed the WLTR requirements and specifications, designed robot-ready bricks (patented technology), and created the business model for the solution's dissemination.
GreenBuild is revolutionising the construction industry by delivering cutting-edge robotic solutions and bringing WLTR, the masonry robot, to where it belongs—on the construction site.
As a service provider, we manage the distribution and marketing of the masonry solution licensed by KM Robotics. This includes handling logistics, pricing, and seamless implementation. Our customised service packages, complete with skilled operators, and a flexible rental model featuring seven ready-to-deploy robots, empower construction companies to unlock the full potential of this innovative technology.
At GreenBuild, we’re paving the way for smarter, more efficient construction.
