Why Reducing Layout's Labor Burden Is a Smart Idea
It's no secret that the construction industry suffers from a shortage of skilled
labor. After the 2008 economic crash, construction workers left in droves and
didn't come back.
Today, as the industry tries to replenish itself with a new generation of
workers—who are often lacking in necessary skills and experience—companies
large and small are recognizing the urgent need to make up for skill deficits
while keeping up with productivity demands. Robotic layout stations are
helping them meet this need.
Because a robotic layout station requires just one person to operate, you're
able to do more with the team you have. Since the tool is so intuitive, your
seasoned workers will be up and running in no time. You'll also be able to train
new workers just as quickly and effectively.
Need more convincing? Consider the math:
›
A two-person crew can lay out an average of 75 points per day using
manual methods.
›
The same crew can lay out 150 points using a mechanical layout station.
›
But if you introduce a robotic layout station, a single worker can lay
out 300 points per day. This translates to a reduction of 75% over
manual layout.
