Robotizing vertical work in construction
Déploya addresses high safety risks, long installation times, and frequent errors associated with conventional scaffolding systems that rely heavily on manual work.
We strive to bring the number of injured facade workers down to zero.
We do in hours, what takes days today.
We bring mm accuracy to facade work.
We eliminate mistakes by converting facade drawings directly into operations.
We are developing a rapidly deployable, modular vertical grid designed as a platform for the automation of façade-related operations. The design of the grid enables rapid deployment and incorporation of robotic tools that will offer various layers of functionality. This technology allows the automation of key façade tasks such as marking, drilling, and potentially full panel assembly.
