Robotization of Mobile Construction Machinery
Motivation:
With a nominal construction volume of almost 400 billion euros and almost two million employees in Germany, the construction industry is of central importance to the national economy. The situation is similar in many other countries. The still predominant analog character of construction site work, management and organization leads to a high proportion of manual labor. This goes hand in hand with a high risk of accidents, high physical stress, long working hours and thus results in an unattractive field of work and ultimately a shortage of skilled workers. Construction projects are rarely completed on time and on budget as a result, which can also be attributed to inefficiency and the low level of digitization in the construction industry. Remedies include more flexible processes and modern automation solutions, with which the construction industry needs to be upgraded. The use of modern production methods and robotics has enabled industries such as automotive to achieve steady productivity growth. These advances in digitalization, networking and automation need to be transferred to the construction site.
