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.

A Robot-Built Home?! SPACE FACTORY : Automation of window assembly for modular houses! ๐ ๏ธ๐
Process Overview This deployment is the first domestic solution that automates modular housing window-frame assembly by combining KUKA industrial robots, a custom-designed robot gripper, and High Payload Track Motion. SPACE FACTORY introduced this window-frame assembly automation system to reduce construction costs and to produce modular housing with consistent quality. Project Background and Objectives In the existing operation, skilled technicians assembled sash frames manually, which required long working time, and significant manpower was needed to respond to diverse customer requirements. In addition, due to the wide work environment and the complex robot operating environment, real-time monitoring was difficult, creating limitations in process management. The objective of this project is to dramatically reduce working time by automating the window-frame assembly process, build a standardized production system to ensure consistent quality, and maximize process management efficiency through a real-time production monitoring system.
Automated Electric Vehicle Console Assembly with EPSON SCARA Robots! ๐ฆพ
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
Yaskawa Industrial Robots + Automatic Foam Placement โ Hankook & Company Battery Palletizing Automation Case ๐๐ค
Process Overview Hankook & Company's palletizing solution prioritizes higher output and reduced labor requirements. After removing the existing line that was built around a single palletizer, the operation was split into two lines and reconfigured with two palletizers to secure production capacity (CAPA). In addition, manual placement of styrofoam and slip sheets was automated to reduce operator interventionโenabling one operator to manage both lines. Project Background and Objectives Background The previous workflow had an imbalance between line production capacity (CAPA) and palletizing capacity (CAPA), requiring operators to manually support styrofoam and slip-sheet placement to maintain output. This structure forced continuous loading of slip sheets (approx. 7 kg each), causing significant operator fatigue. Also, the line had to wait until manual slip-sheet loading was completed, leading to large fluctuations in the logistics cycle time. Key issues Palletizing quality instability and speed loss caused by manual operations Reduced productivity, increased operator fatigue, and skilled-labor dependency issues Objectives Improve production efficiency by minimizing repetitive manual tasks through upgraded robot automation Ensure quality consistency by reducing manual intervention Improve the work environment by reducing operator fatigue and strengthening safety
