Boosting Layout Speed and Efficiency with Robotics
Online Learning Series

April 22, 2025 2:00 PM

As projects grow more complex, keeping up with layout is challenging. Manual processes and labor shortages slow growth. Robotics offer a faster, safer solution that allow companies to scale up. In this session discover how Valley Interior Systems scale from 30 to 300 linear feet of wall layout per hour with just one operator.

• Print entire wall and partition layouts 10 times faster with one operator, freeing up additional workers for other tasks.
• Autonomous layout printing minimizes errors and rework, boosting efficiency and accuracy, even on complex projects.
• Cut down on labor time and risks and gain a competitive advantage.

Andy Dickey, Head of HP Construction Services, Americas, Australia and New Zealand
