Project Overview
This case marks Korea’s first automated solution for modular housing window assembly, combining a KUKA industrial robot, a custom-designed robotic gripper, and a High Payload Track Motion system.
Space Factory introduced this automation system to reduce construction costs and ensure consistent quality in modular housing production.
Background & Objective
Traditionally, skilled workers manually assembled window frames on-site, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meeting diverse client requirements also demanded a large workforce. In addition, the wide and complex work environment made real-time monitoring and process control difficult.
The goal of this project was to automate the window assembly process to significantly reduce work time, establish a standardized production system for consistent quality, and enhance process management through real-time production monitoring.
Components

Recommended Use Cases
Faucet Assembly using Five Doosan M0609 Units
This assembly automation solution utilizes five Doosan M0609 collaborative robots to fully automate the end-to-end assembly process of faucets. Previously, this process required a large number of workers to manually assemble each unit. By integrating collaborative robots with a conveyor system, continuous production across the entire process has been achieved. The transition from a manual line (where 5 workers produced 1,000 units per day) to an automated line (where 2 workers produce 1,200 units per day) has resulted in a significant improvement in productivity.
Product Sorting Automation using UR5 and Deep Learning
This next-generation sorting solution leverages 3D Vision, Deep Learning (Instance Segmentation), Reinforcement Learning, and Motion Planning (OMPL) to automate complex tasks such as product classification, assembly, and packing. By utilizing cost-effective 3D vision, the system recognizes the type and location of products and bins in real-time. This allows the robot to automatically compensate for shifts in the position of items or boxes without manual intervention. The integration of Motion Planning drastically reduces human teaching time, while Reinforcement Learning optimizes movements to minimize overall cycle times.
PCB Flex Cable Insertion using Epson N2 and FT Sensors
This assembly automation solution utilizes the Epson N2 robot and FT (Force-Torque) sensors to automate the highly difficult process of inserting Flex Cables into PCB connectors. It is the optimal solution for performing high-precision assembly tasks while minimizing cycle times within confined workspaces. This project was initiated to automate the Flex Cable insertion process, which previously relied entirely on manual labor.
