Safer
We strive to bring the number of injured facade workers down to zero.
We turn scaffolding into
vertical assembly lines for construction
EPFL spin-off — Lausanne, Switzerland
Déploya addresses high safety risks, long installation times, and frequent errors associated with conventional scaffolding systems that rely heavily on manual work.
Faster
We do in hours, what takes days today.
Highly precise
We bring mm accuracy to facade work.
Zero errors
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 eventually full panel assembly.
