01. The industry is facing a major labor shortage
Construction is a global industry, it represents 13% of global GDP and is essential to the functioning of our society, yet it remains one of the least digitized industries.
While manufacturing and logistics have already embraced automation, construction continues to rely on outdated, labor-intensive methods, leaving the industry struggling to keep up with demand.
Labor shortages have reached an all-time high. With an aging workforce, fewer young talents, and increasing construction demands—especially within Europe’s housing crisis—the gap continues to widen. While automation was once considered too complex for construction, that assumption no longer holds. Robotics, ML, and digital workflows are now breaking barriers, making automation a reality on construction sites.
02. Bridging robotics and construction
Surface finishing is one of the most labor-intensive and technically demanding steps of building construction. Essential for durability, aesthetics, and protection, it remains highly manual and difficult to staff.
LAYERED is transforming the industry. Our intelligent robotic system brings precision, flexibility, and robustness in real-world conditions, dynamically handling complex and repetitive tasks.
03. More than efficiency, a necessary shift
This isn’t just about speed. It’s about:
- Bridging the labor gap: making construction an attractive career by embracing innovation and technology.
- Boosting productivity: streamlining work quality and reducing delays through automation and precision.
- Building sustainably: minimizing waste by optimizing material use.
