ABB and Porsche team up to drive forward e-mobility
Recently, ABB Robot and Porsche Management Consulting Company announced a pilot cooperation project, which aims to develop automated innovation applications in modular housing manufacturing and further promote the automation process of the construction industry. With the general shortage of labor and skill talents, this cooperation will help meet the market's demand for more economical and sustainable buildings, and reduce the impact of architecture on the environment. Eberhard Weiblen, chairman of the Porsche Management Consultation Executive Board, said, "The construction industry is facing many challenges, and highly automated construction factories will provide higher quality and more reasonable prices. We hope to combine ABB's leading robot solutions and we are in Planning and operating professional knowledge in modern factory to promote this important industry change. " Ma Sikang, the global president of ABB robot business, added: "We believe that by realizing the automation of the modular component manufacturing process, we have the opportunity The problem, this cooperation will help improve production efficiency, achieve a greater degree of customization, and promote more sustainable and more efficient buildings. " The shortage of labor in the construction industry [1] has always been very prominent. In many countries, this has become a key factor that leads to insufficient housing supply. Taking the United States as an example, insufficient labor force has led to nearly 4 million sets of housing shortages [2]; in Germany, it is expected that by 2030, there will be insufficient housing supply in 35 cities.

At the same time, improving the environmental performance and efficiency of buildings, and seeking more sustainable building methods is also put on the agenda. These measures include reducing the transportation of raw materials to the construction site, and the corresponding costs and influences of unnecessary materials and waste. It is estimated that this proportion is as high as 25%of the materials transported to the construction site. The modular building will further reduce the waste of materials and reduce the number of working days lost due to bad weather conditions, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, the factory provides a safer and more comfortable working environment, while construction workers in the traditional construction industry account for about 30%of the number of workers' injuries. The probability of a fatal accident is four times that of other industries. [1] [1] 2015 International Labor Organization The construction industry has obviously lag behi...
