Wei Build - Robots

Safety

• Using robots for plastering can mitigate the risk of back or leg injuries in human workers
• Weibuild’s plastering robots are also designed to extend up to six meters in the air, thus cutting out the need for workers on scaffolding, a major source of construction accidents.
• Spraying robots also take over painting in enclosed spaces, where minimal airflow can result in humans inhaling toxic fumes.

Productivity

• Construction robots have the potential to be up to 10x more productive than humans.
• According to Mao, Weibuild’s robots can plaster up to 300 square meters and paint up to 1,000 square meters in a single day.
• In contrast, humans can only plaster about 30 square meters per day.

Sustainability

• Robots also offer a more sustainable path for construction. As they are more accurate and efficient, they produce less waste and use far less materials than humans.
• They also don’t require accommodations such as air conditioning.

Consistency

• While humans are skilled at jobs like painting and plastering, maintaining peak performance for a whole day is very difficult, which can lead to inconsistencies in the quality of their work.
• Construction robots don’t experience fatigue and can work consistently throughout the day, even in extreme heat conditions.
• Furthermore, because robots are fully autonomous and dependent on the data they are fed, their work is much more compliant with the established designs and requirements.
