# Modular Robotics Vendor Procurement Matrix (v1)
## For Indoor Modular Housing Production

### Purpose
Provide a practical procurement view of robotics vendors, purchase models, expected capex bands, deployment timeline, and best-fit use cases.

---

## A) Core Production Robotics (Walls/Floors/Roofs)

| Vendor | Model / Family | Category | Buy Model | Typical Capex Band* | Deployment Time | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Randek | ZeroLabor System | Robotic framing/assembly line | Direct + integrator project | High (project-based) | 4–10 months | Automated wall/floor/roof panel production |
| WEINMANN (HOMAG) | WALLTEQ / full line systems | Timber frame production line | Direct + distributor/integrator | High | 4–10 months | Scalable prefab timber panel lines |
| House of Design Robotics | Automated Panel Framing | Panel framing automation | Direct + project engineering | Mid–High | 3–8 months | Framing stations, repetitive panel tasks |
| KUKA / Kawasaki / ABB / FANUC | Industrial robot cells (custom EOAT) | Robotic workcell automation | Integrator-led | Mid–High | 3–9 months | Nailing, sheathing, handling, cutouts |

---

## B) MEP Accuracy & Rough-In Enablement

| Vendor | Model | Category | Buy Model | Typical Capex Band* | Deployment Time | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | SitePrint | Autonomous layout robot | Purchase or service partner | Low–Mid | 2–8 weeks | MEP point layout, clash reduction, faster trade alignment |
| Hilti | Jaibot | Automated drilling robot | Direct purchase/lease options by market | Mid | 2–10 weeks | High-volume overhead drilling for electrical/mechanical |

---

## C) Interior Finishing Robotics

| Vendor | Model | Category | Buy Model | Typical Capex Band* | Deployment Time | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canvas | 1200CX (and platform variants) | Robotic drywall finishing | Service/project model in many markets | Service-based / Mid equivalent | 2–8 weeks (service start) | Drywall mudding/sanding acceleration, finish consistency |

---

## D) Structural/Rebar Robotics (If Applicable)

| Vendor | Model | Category | Buy Model | Typical Capex Band* | Deployment Time | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Construction Robotics | TyBOT / IronBOT | Rebar tying automation | Purchase + service options | Mid–High | 1–3 months | Rebar tie workflows and labor reduction |

---

## E) Humanoid Pilots (Constrained Use First)

| Vendor | Model | Category | Buy Model | Typical Capex Band* | Deployment Time | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apptronik | Apollo | Humanoid pilot platform | Partnership/pilot agreements | Pilot-based | 3–9 months | Material handoff and repetitive assist tasks |
| Agility Robotics | Digit | Humanoid/mobile handling | Pilot/commercial programs | Pilot-based | 3–9 months | Indoor logistics and repetitive movement tasks |
| Figure AI | Figure platform | Humanoid pilot platform | Partnership/pilot agreements | Pilot-based | 3–12 months | Controlled industrial task automation pilots |

---

## F) Procurement Notes (Critical)

1. Most systems are sold as engineered projects (not off-the-shelf list pricing).
2. Require integrator + safety architecture + commissioning package.
3. Demand a FAT/SAT acceptance plan tied to KPI outcomes.
4. Use phased rollout: pilot cell first, then replicate.
5. Include annual support and spare parts in TCO model.

---

## G) Recommended Sequence for Your Modular Plant

1. Panel/framing line automation (Randek/WEINMANN/HoD)
2. Layout robot (HP SitePrint)
3. Drilling robot (Hilti Jaibot)
4. Drywall finishing robot (Canvas)
5. Humanoid pilot in constrained zones after KPI stabilization

---
