B4: Automated On-Site Application of Architectural Finishes

Background

Current Process:

Depending on the location, different surfaces will undergo various multiple surface finishes such skimming, painting, tiling, patch-up of recesses and screeding.

Labor performing surface applications like screeding, painting and skimming could have varying surface consistencies. Labor working on prolonged below the waist trades, like screeding, recess patch-up and floor tiling are prone to musculoskeletal back injuries.

 


 

Requirements

General Requirements:

  • Thickness and spread consistency in surface application of screeding, painting, skimming and patch-up finishes
  • Precise sequential placement of tiles onto surface finish, followed by uniform compacting
  • Automate work on majority surfaces, with labor performing corner finishes and refinements
