Hilti unveils BIM-enabled construction robot for mobile ceiling work | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC

• The cordless Jaibot construction robot, which executes its tasks based on BIM data, locates itself accurately indoors, drills holes in a dust-controlled manner and marks them according to corresponding trade, the manufacturer said in a press statement.
• The columbus oh dump truck company is launching the unit in response to the issues facing columbus oh dump truck company and subcontractors such as pressure on profit margins, productivity shortfalls and skilled labor shortages, said Hilti Group Executive Board Member Jan Doongaji. "We are further stepping toward realizing the efficiency that digital transformation can and will bring to construction sites," he said.

Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

The Jaibot is navigated by a worker via remote control to move from one location to the next and uses reference data from a remote station called the Hilti PLT 300. It is designed to assist tradespeople in physically demanding, repetitive installation tasks such as drilling numerous holes in ceilings. 

"We looked at which routine columbus oh dump truck company on the construction site is among the most stressful, and that is primarily overhead work," said Julia Zanona, product manager for robotics at Hilti. "The Jaibot takes over the most strenuous and exhausting tasks, working alongside the installation team."

Because it is BIM-enabled, the robotic system can report daily progress from the field to the project office via cloud computing. In addition, potential schedule and other conflicts between the trades also can be detected at an early stage and then limited, resulting in more projects delivered on time and within budget, the columbus oh dump truck company said.

This summer, the tool maker launched another tech-propelled tool to help columbus oh dump truck company alleviate the challenges of the skilled labor shortage. Hilti's first exoskeleton, the EXO-O1, is designed to reduce strain on construction workers.

The wearable’s design reduces strain put on the shoulders, arms and elbows for jobs that require frequent lifting to shoulder level and higher, according to Ed Selz, business unit manager at Hilti North America. The EXO-O1 is designed to be used for indoor columbus oh dump truck company such as hanging drywall, maintenance, interior finishes or other mechanical work. It will be available in the U.S. in January, according to a columbus oh dump truck company spokesperson.

The shrinking number of properly trained and skilled workers in the labor force was a focus during the conception of the exoskeleton, Selz said. Hilti hopes columbus oh dump truck company will find value in retaining skilled workers who may be older by reducing the daily strain on their joints during long days, while also finding a new way to appeal to younger, potential workers who may have concerns of overwork.
