Project Overview
This case marks Korea’s first automated solution for modular housing window assembly, combining a KUKA industrial robot, a custom-designed robotic gripper, and a High Payload Track Motion system.
Space Factory introduced this automation system to reduce construction costs and ensure consistent quality in modular housing production.
Background & Objective
Traditionally, skilled workers manually assembled window frames on-site, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meeting diverse client requirements also demanded a large workforce. In addition, the wide and complex work environment made real-time monitoring and process control difficult.
The goal of this project was to automate the window assembly process to significantly reduce work time, establish a standardized production system for consistent quality, and enhance process management through real-time production monitoring.
Components
| Robot | KUKA KR 210 R3100 Industrial Robot
With a maximum payload of 210kg and a working radius of 3,065mm, this robot is optimized for heavy-duty, high-precision operations. |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | These enable precise alignment and movement of wooden materials, automatic assembly of upper and lower window components, and transport of completed frames. |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Material Input : Wooden materials are accurately aligned and transported using the custom-designed robotic gripper. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Window Assembly : Based on a modular production system, upper and lower window components are assembled automatically. |
| STEP 3. | Frame Transfer : Completed wooden frames are safely and precisely moved by the robot. |
Features
Flexible Assembly:
Capable of assembling 42 different window patterns, allowing for customized modular production.Automated Process & Monitoring:
Real-time monitoring of robot operations enables rapid issue response and efficient process management.
Results
| Key Benefits | Increased Efficiency:
Compared to manual labor, work time was reduced by 30–40%, greatly improving productivity.
Cost Savings:
Standardized production and lower defect rates led to reduced construction costs.
Stable Quality:
Automation ensures consistent housing quality regardless of worker experience.
Mass Production Capability:
A small team can mass-produce a wide range of wooden housing windows in a short period. |
|---|---|
| Client Feedback | Space Factory commented:
"By automating the window assembly process, we were able to maintain consistent quality while significantly reducing construction time and cost. The real-time monitoring system powered by SOLlink Industrial has enabled us to manage production processes more efficiently and respond to issues on the ground with greater agility." |

Recommended Solution
Automated automotive battery palletizing: Safely stack batteries weighing over 60kg with the YASKAWA GP225 💪
This solution automates the repalletizing process for Atlas batteries produced by Hankook & Company for export. Due to the diverse import pallet specifications, customer-specific palletizing patterns, and product types, the total number of possible scenarios exceeds 200. The goal is to standardize these scenarios and ensure line stability by supporting a throughput of 10 pallets per minute for medium-sized batteries and 6 pallets per minute for large-sized batteries. [Pallet Feeder & Pallet Conveyor] This solution allows for the use of up to five different pallet types per country, ensuring a smooth 10-stack logistics cycle. Destacked pallets are transported to the battery palletizing position and aligned simultaneously. Completed pallets are transported to the discharge position. [Battery Sorter] Batteries fed inline are automatically sorted into 1st, 2nd (series/parallel), and 3rd layers according to the preset palletizing pattern. The robot then discharges the batteries, repeating the initialization process. [Robot Palletizer] Once aligned, the batteries are picked and placed at the palletizing position on the conveyor, repeating the pick-and-place process according to the specified location and number of layers. Honeycomb feeds are automatically inserted into each layer according to the settings. [Honeycomb Feeder & Sorter] Automatically sorts and inserts honeycombs into each layer of NO-BOX batteries.

Automated Electric Vehicle Console Assembly with EPSON SCARA Robots! 🦾
Process Overview Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) established an automated assembly line for console parts for Kia Motors' newly launched SUV-type electric vehicle. The existing console assembly line is a large-scale assembly line, requiring an average of 40-60 workers to assemble manually. The lack of automation experience presented challenges in securing space and recruiting assembly workers. Frequent staff turnover and resulting skill level issues hindered productivity. To address this, the company replaced some workers with robots, addressing the labor shortage and consistently ensuring productivity by adapting to the changing workforce. Warranty Period 1 Year Performance Year 2024 Project Duration 4 Months Project Background and Objectives Building a multi-product automated production line and reducing labor costs through robotic automation Preventing mis-assembly and mis-assembly using a lot-of-lot system and ensuring traceability Remote control and integrated management using SOLlink
