The day Wienerberger joins the company is coming!Wienerberger is preparing the Hadrianx's entry into the European market by appearing in journals, e.g. German Council of Shopping Places. Here is a sample report: (main parts translated with the help of google and me)
"In Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Scandinavia the construction industry is waiting desperately. Make sure that the In Situ Fabricator and other robots are ready for series production. Because the Companies in the sector are finding it increasingly difficult to find trained specialists. There is also a lack of offspring. Only a few young ones people are interested in wind and weather to mix mortar and hauling bricks. Rather, they attract careers in the office and in tech professions.“Robots can't get sick become" The shortage of personnel is reflected in the building prices. According to the latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office, these have been increased around 26 percent for multi-family houses since 2011. With steadily growing trend: Last year was a 4.1 percent growth. When construction robots are ready for series production and, thanks to the sale of large numbers, also affordable for smaller companies in the industry, manufacturing costs - depending on Forecast - could decrease by 30 to 50 percent. The new ones urgently needed in large cities with growing populations apartments could then be cheaper and be erected faster. The use of intelligent machines would also make economic sense. Those employed in construction suffer through heavy physical labor oftenchronic back disease. 19.3 days the employees working in the industry are sick on average per year, shows a current study by the umbrella association of company health insurance funds. This is with the highest number of days off. Employees in the information and communication industry are sick on average only 10.9 days per year, for employees in the finance sector it is 14.3 days per year. "Robot however, cannot get sick ",says Professor Furet. Because of the engagement of the machines the health of people is protected. However, one problem still has to be solved: Robots can lift and transport loads weighing tons. However, sit on their gripper arms claws that a human hand with her delicate fingers so far are inferior. The machine grabs tight, bricks can shatter. On the other hand, if your grip is not firm enough, objects can fall to the ground and be destroyed. No bad weather breaks thanks "Hadrian X" The Austrian building materials manufacturer Wienerberger, with 197 plants in 30 countries the largest brick producer worldwide, therefore cooperates with the Australian robot manufacturer Fastbrick Robotics in the development of a construction robot for the creation of houses from brick masonry - the Hadrian X. During the Australians fine-tune their robot, the Austrians are in the process of creating special bricks, optimally made by Hadrian X can be gripped, transported and laid. “Together with Fastbrick we want to develop solutions based on the future-oriented Hadrian-X technology, with which living space can be realized faster and cheaper «, says Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger. “And at the same time less use of resources and less work. " What the robot can do in any case: Work even in the worst weather. Even a storm doesn't bother him. Because sensors continuously measure the wind strength as well as any vibrations in the ground and in the parts of the wall that have already been built. Hadrian X can use countermovements to compensate for this and create new bricks exactly in their correct position. What is still missing is an adhesive with which even at low temperatures below zero can be worked. Once that is developed, there is no longer any need for it bad weather breaks on construction sites ..."
