The use of Siemens‘ digital twin technology has aided modular housebuilder Admares in mass producing smart dwellings. The vendor has high hopes that this key technology will be foundational in helping to address a crisis in supply of affordable homes.
The company noted its Xcelerator open business platform is being used to apply digital twin, advanced manufacturing and automation technologies to its partner’s housebuilding efforts.
Admares manufactures dwellings on assembly lines within smart factories.
The housemaker notes its technique “eliminates the need for traditional construction labour”, with the only production taking place on the housing plot being connections which can be completed within a day.
It credits digital twins as essential for planning and executing production in its automated factory, “enabling highly efficient and consistent production of homes at scale”.
Siemens stated the building design and digital-first smart factory employed by Admares aims to cut 75 per cent of the CO2 emissions associated with standard residential construction.
The technology player added its customer aims to “revolutionise how the global housing crisis is solved by advancing the traditionally conservative construction industry”.
Siemens Digital Industries head of sustainability Eryn Devola added its “digital twin, automation and manufacturing technologies have empowered” the company to industrialise homebuilding “cutting emissions, reducing waste and accelerating delivery”.
Admares’ dwellings are built with a precision-engineered steel structure, are resilient in the face of a range of natural disasters and are designed to have a minimum lifespan of 100 years.
