Brave announces new automation innovations for offsite construction industry

– April 14^th, 2022–

Windsor, Ontario – Brave Control Solutions Inc. of Windsor, Ontario is pleased to introduce cad2fab™, a paradigm shift for offsite construction automation.

Over the past 4 years, the global construction industry has responded strongly to a series of innovative automation solutions developed by Brave.  Industry-leading GCs and pure-play offsite firms around the globe have engaged Brave to design and deliver the next generation of construction automation solutions featuring cad2fab™.

Responding to the needs of the industry

Brave understands that engineering requirements, manufacturing processes, function, and aesthetics drive building designs and that automation technologies should support, not hinder what architects and builders need to achieve.  That’s why Brave’s approach is based on the idea of “snowflake manufacturing”:  enabling the construction industry to leverage the advantages of automation while addressing the reality of customized product variations, “snowflakes”.   Until now, builders often faced a trade-off when considering automation:  limit customization in favor of cookie-cutter designs if you want to industrialize your construction processes.   Thankfully those days are behind us.

With cad2fab™, Brave’s proprietary software reads BIM data, then leverages AI and machine learning to assess and optimize designs for automation and autonomously teach robots and automated machinery.  Traditional approaches require significant investments of time and highly skilled resources to program and teach robots and automation – each time a new product is to be manufactured.  With Brave’s solution, architects and machine operators can quickly and easily modify designs and build a wide range of customized products without the need for lengthy changeovers.

cad2fab™ helps offsite manufacturers achieve more than just Improved productivity

Brave’s unique approach to industrialized construction is a must-have for any offsite manufacturing dealing with today’s critical business issues such as manpower, productivity, quality, material consumption, and waste.  Currently, cad2fab™ includes the following applications:
