German Federal Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Building visits KUKA to talk about automated house construction

A shortage of living space, rising costs, and a lack of skilled labor are some of the key challenges confronting society today. Automated modular house construction presents a promising solution to these issues. During a recent visit to KUKA, German Federal Minister for Building, Klara Geywitz, was introduced to this innovative concept and its potential to address housing needs efficiently and sustainably.

Automated house building shifts much of the construction process from the building site to the factory. Using robotics and advanced automation, entire housing elements are manufactured on an assembly line in a highly digitized and efficient manner. These pre-produced elements are then assembled at the construction site, streamlining the process and significantly reducing on-site labor and time.

" At KUKA, we are applying the automation and systems expertise we have built up over decades to the construction industry. And this innovative concept offers enormous potential." - Timo Heil, CEO KUKA Systems EMEA

"With the use of robotics, living spaces can be built faster, more sustainably and more cost-effectively. In view of the shortage of skilled workers and the high demand for living space, we need more digitalization in the construction industry. KUKA is showing how modern automation technologies can advance modular house construction and thus make construction fit for the future." - Federal Minister Klara Geywitz
