2. Work Faster and More Efficiently
When you use a robotic layout station, you need to assign just one person to layout. A single operator can
complete layout in hours instead of days, helping you shorten project timelines. And because the tool is so
intuitive to use and easy to learn, more members of your team can perform layout, allowing you to scale up
operations if needed.
"
Apart from the time you save because you can lay
out faster, you can just let people do what they need
to do: make the installation. If you can improve the
amount of time that employees spend productively
by 10%, it will save you a lot."
— Armand van Andel, Technical Director, Megens Installaties
We're able to produce layout deviations, daily point
layout summaries and field reports, and document
daily production and existing conditions."

3. Document Work Performed
A robotic layout station that's able to collect measurement data on work performed brings much-needed
transparency to your workflows. When design changes occur, you can use the tool to provide a record of original
layout points as well as documentation of the changes that were needed. You're able to provide proof of work
performed, as well as defend decisions that were made.
While you may be comfortable with manual layout methods, they're unnecessarily time-
consuming and error-prone. You wouldn't use a screwdriver when you could use a cordless
drill-driver to perform the work faster and better. The same is true when it comes to layout.
You'll find a faster, better tool in a robotic layout station.
