Process Overview
This implementation case is the first solution in Korea to achieve residential window Assembly automation by combining KUKA industrial robots with a proprietary robot gripper and High Payload Track Motion. Space Workshop introduced the window Assembly automation system with the goal of reducing construction costs and producing modular homes of consistent quality.
Project Background and Purpose
At existing construction sites, skilled technicians manually Assembly window frames, consuming long working hours and requiring a large workforce to meet the diverse demands of building owners. Furthermore, the spacious workspace and complex robot operation environment made real-time monitoring difficult and limited process management.
The purpose of this project is to drastically reduce working time through the automation of the window Assembly process, ensure consistent quality by establishing a standardized production system, and maximize the efficiency of process management through a real-time production monitoring system.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Material Input: Precisely aligns and moves wooden materials using a proprietary robotic gripper. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Window Assembly: Automatically Assembly the upper and lower sections of windows according to a modular production system. |
| STEP 3. | Frame Movement: Robots safely and accurately move the Assembly wooden frame. |
Key Features
Various openings can be Assembly : Customized Assembly is possible through a modular production system with 42 different patterns.
Production Process Automation and Monitoring : By monitoring robot and work status in real time, rapid problem response and efficient process management are possible.
Implementation Results
| Key Metrics | Increased Work Efficiency: Work time has been reduced by 30–40% compared to manual labor, leading to improved productivity.
Cost Reduction: Construction costs were reduced through standardized production and a decrease in defect rates.
Ensuring Quality Stability: The automated system enables the continuous production of homes of consistent quality, regardless of skill level.
Mass Production Capability: Windows and doors for various wooden houses can be mass-produced within a short period with a small number of workers. |
