Sustainable Housing Industrialized With Siemens Help

ADMARES, a developer of industrialized housing, is using the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform to apply Siemens’ digital twin, advanced manufacturing and automation technology to design, build and operate sustainable housing.
 
Founded in 2016, ADMARES is a technology company applying advanced manufacturing techniques to the construction industry to build smart, connected, sustainable homes. Using flexible, modularized design combined with a clean sheet, digital first, automated greenfield smart factory ADMARES intends to eliminate significant CO₂ emissions associated with residential construction by generating much less material waste.

“Siemens’ technology has enabled us to make affordable homes a product, rather than a process reliant on construction labor—of which there is a global shortage,” says Mikael Hedberg, CEO, ADMARES. “When homes become productized, industrialized and digitalized, we’re able to fully automate the manufacturing process and deliver homes the world so desperately needs at the affordable cost, scale and speed it needs.”

“The work that ADMARES is doing is a compelling example of how Siemens technology enables entirely new business models to emerge. Building on the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, ADMARES has transformed housing from a traditional construction process into a scalable, digitalized product,” says Eryn Devola, head of Sustainability, Siemens Digital Industries. “Our digital twin, automation and manufacturing technologies have empowered them to industrialize homebuilding—cutting emissions, reducing waste, and accelerating delivery.”
 
At the core of its development is the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software. ADMARES has used Siemens’ Designcenter, Teamcenter and Simcenter software to design, validate and prove out its modularized housing designs. They create a Digital Twin that represents the final productized smart home and contains data about the manufacturing process that is used to develop and optimize its smart factory. This factory is powered by Siemens’ Opcenter manufacturing execution software and automation hardware. The hardware and software reportedly enable production of a complete 1,400 ft² home in 45 minutes, delivered with building software for real-time monitoring of energy, water and air quality.
