Our work in a nutshell

Reference projects

In recent years, the housing industry has seen the emergence of many high-tech start-ups that are changing the way we think about designing, building, and living in homes. One such start-up, founded in 2019, began as a small team of engineers who were passionate about using manufacturing technology to improve the housing industry. They recognized that the traditional construction process was slow, expensive, and inefficient, and saw an opportunity to revolutionize the industry by leveraging the latest advances in robotics and other cutting-edge technologies.

Wikfors Technology pioneered new manufacturing processes and making use of smart data and factory layout simulations, allowing the construct industry to move forward faster and gain better control and insights over these processes than ever before. They continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in home construction industry, and are helping to shape the future of the housing industry.

On this page you will find a timeline with some of the highlights over the past years and interesting case studies with explanatory videos.

House manufacturing DATA visualized​

Visual Components case study
In this case study, we’ll show you how Visual Components, was used to visualize the assembly of a complete house module, starting from single boards and sheets to a completed box with outer and inner walls, floor, and ceiling. This is all about visualizing data without even caring about the production methods and machines.​ Continue reading about this case study on Visual Components own website.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

Virtual commissioning for Verkstadsbolaget​

Machine and station simulations​
In this project we made a simulation of a gantry robot that had almost no logic or programming in the simulation model itself. We connected the simulation to a Beckhoff PLC that we programmed to run the Gantry with real product data.​

The benefits of this approach was:​

  • Work early on the PLC program for the real machine.​
  • Let the PLC read the real product DATA from the start.​
  • Get visual material that can be used to demonstrate the functions towards both machine builder and the factory owners.

Framing station simulation – High automation

Simulating an advanced production line
Framing an element is one of the first steps in off site construction. There are many ways of automating framing and Wiksfors Technology have concepts and experience of the full span from simple, semi automatic framing stations to highly automated systems.​

Video shows a highly automated framing station concept.​

Framing station simulation – Low automation

Simulating a semi automatic production line
Framing an element is one of the first steps in off site construction. There are many ways of automating framing and Wiksfors Technology have concepts and experience of the full span from simple, semi automatic framing stations to highly automated systems.​

Video shows a low automated framing station that is operated by a single person who is manually loading the machine with material.​

Sheeting station simulation – High automation

After framing of the elements, the frames are typically sheeted with gypsum, OSB, Plywood, CPB, Farmacel or some other sheet-material. ​

Video shows a highly automated sheeting station concept.​

Full factory layout

Wiksfors Technology develops full factory layouts for both modular and element production (Walls, Floors & Ceilings). Full material flow can be studied, and the estimated throughput per annual is an output of our work. 

DATA without CAD

A big issue in the construction industry of today is the disconnection that exists between designers/architects and the machines/factories. ​

Designing a building in a modular way should generate production data directly without big crews of technicians/engineers that works on conversion of CAD to DATA.​

This video shows the Wiksfors demonstrator that lets a designer make its building as a quick process and directly gets data for both production and purchasing when it is done. ​
