The construction industry employs over 13 million people in the EU and contributes about 11.1% to the GDP.
The younger generation show little interest in a career in construction, while the workforce is aging overall. This affects labor productivity.
The most significant bottleneck in the EU construction sector is the shortage of labor, with 32.7% of construction companies citing it as a limitation. This concern has increased by over 30% in the last three years.
Labor shortages lead to rising costs and potential revenue declines due to fewer building completions.
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.
As a service company, GreenBuild provides innovative robotic solutions in the construction industry and brings WLTR where it belongs: to the construction site.
We handle the distribution and marketing of the masonry solution licensed by KM Robotics, including logistics, pricing, and implementation. With customized service packages, including operators, and a rental model currently featuring seven ready-to-use robots, we enable construction companies to fully utilize the potential of this technology.
