Advancing Green Deal Principles in sMart FacAde TechnoLogies for the construcTion sEctor based on AI, Data & Robotics

Project description

Construction with AI, robotics and digital solutions

The construction industry is facing demands for sustainability, efficiency and safety while grappling with rising energy consumption, resource depletion and waste. The need for smarter, more adaptable solutions is becoming increasingly urgent as the construction sector aims to align with European Green Deal objectives. Also, human safety and the integration of technology remain key concerns as automation in construction grows. In this context, the EU-funded AMALTEA project seeks to tackle these issues by streamlining robotics, AI and data use in the construction of curtain-wall façades. By digitalising the entire value chain (design, manufacturing, installation and recycling), AMALTEA aims to reduce environmental impact while improving safety and product quality.

Objective

AMALTEA’s main objective is to streamline the use of robotics, AI and data in the construction sector to reduce the energy use, resources and waste, increase safety, and improve processes’ reliability and product quality to adapt to the new demands from end users and Green Deal objectives. For that, the curtain-wall façade value chain will be reshaped by digitalizing the design, manufacturing, installation and disassembly/recycling phases.
This approach is supported by the development and combination of several digital tools that will be integrated, together with technical solutions provided by SMEs and start-ups through FSTP, in Digital Solutions that will be validated in four pilots to improve the sustainability, efficiency, safety and automation of the façade value chain, and thus, building construction. The global solution will consider human in the loop for collaborative robotics and will use existing technologies to guarantee the safety use of the data across the entire process.
Piloting will include: 1) AI parametric design and extended digital twin with all the data workflows along the façade value chain, 2) Digitalized façade manufacturing line in FDB facilities in Hungary, 3) and 4) Implementation of the solutions in operational construction environments (Residential/Hospital typology in the South of Europe and Offices/Tertiary typology in the Center of Europe).
The project involves companies from all necessary disciplines, including: design, AI and data, robotics, manufacturing, construction, SSH (to have special care related to the communication between humans and the technologies developed). Additionally, the project will establish a collaboration with external SMEs (up to 25 projects) across Europe through a FSTP scheme to improve all the challenges defined.
