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
| Robot | KUKA KR 210 R3100 Industrial Robot With a maximum payload of 210kg and a working radius of 3,065mm, this robot is optimized for heavy-duty, high-precision operations. |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | These enable precise alignment and movement of wooden materials, automatic assembly of upper and lower window components, and transport of completed frames. |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Material Input : Wooden materials are accurately aligned and transported using the custom-designed robotic gripper. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Window Assembly : Based on a modular production system, upper and lower window components are assembled automatically. |
| STEP 3. | Frame Transfer : Completed wooden frames are safely and precisely moved by the robot. |
Key Features
Flexible Assembly:
Capable of assembling 42 different window patterns, allowing for customized modular production.Automated Process & Monitoring:
Real-time monitoring of robot operations enables rapid issue response and efficient process management.
Implementation Results
| Key Metrics | Increased Efficiency:
Compared to manual labor, work time was reduced by 30–40%, greatly improving productivity.
Cost Savings:
Standardized production and lower defect rates led to reduced construction costs.
Stable Quality:
Automation ensures consistent housing quality regardless of worker experience.
Mass Production Capability:
A small team can mass-produce a wide range of wooden housing windows in a short period. |

| Client Feedback | Space Factory commented:
"By automating the window assembly process, we were able to maintain consistent quality while significantly reducing construction time and cost. The real-time monitoring system powered by SOLlink Industrial has enabled us to manage production processes more efficiently and respond to issues on the ground with greater agility." |
