In a rough room of a certain real estate, a pink figure is busy working between the rooms, and the flexibly rotating robotic arm continuously sprays putty on the gray walls. It took three hours to renovate the walls, aisle ceilings, bay windows and other areas of the 100-square-meter room. They were replaced by bright white putty walls. This result was produced by Guangdong Bozhilin Robot Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as The hand of Bozhilin putty coating robot owned by Bozhilin).
As an important starting point for Country Garden in the second half of the real estate market, Bo Zhilin aims at the major opportunities of intelligence and digitalization in the construction industry, and has made some achievements in commercialization exploration. As of May 2022, the cumulative construction area of 23 robots put into commercial application has exceeded 10 million square meters.
"We will continue to focus on intelligent construction, robotics, artificial intelligence and other fields, actively carry out in-depth cooperation with all walks of life on applied scientific research projects, conduct research on core R&D technologies, and coordinate to promote the transformation and implementation of research results. ."

"If you can use a smartphone, you can operate a construction robot"
"Putty construction still has pain points such as low efficiency and poor quality stability, and it also faces safety risks when working at high altitudes, so we developed a putty coating robot," Bo Zhilin The person in charge of relevant research and development said that compared with the "one-stop" construction of putty coating robots, traditional putty construction is by no means a "solo operation" that can be handled. It often involves mixing and blending of putty powder, scraping of putty, and straightening of yin and yang angles. , thick scraping and leveling of explosive spots, foaming of template structure, fine scraping, fine straightening of yin and yang corners, edge closing, primer putty spot repair, etc. There are nearly ten complex processes.
However, the development of putty coating robots did not happen overnight. Construction robots are an emerging thing, and there is no mature reference for putty coating robots. The R&D team can only explore from scratch. They not only have to solve difficult problems such as blockage and solidification in the transportation of putty raw materials, coverage of dead corners in construction, and the passage of robot scenes, but they also have to repeatedly conduct process layout experiments of human-machine cooperation to improve the efficiency of human-machine collaboration.
is based on thinking and solving the above-mentioned pain points. Nowadays, the putty coating robot that looks "high-end and sophisticated" is actually very "down-to-earth" in actual use. "Even elderly people can master the skills of using robots in a short time." The person in charge of related products of Bozhilin said that they have a standard training system. Basically, as long as you can use a smartphone, you can quickly understand the APP. The operation logic of the control end, learn how to maintain the robot and deal with unexpected problems.

"Based on a construction area of 100 square meters, the intelligent coating robot can complete two putty applications in 3 hours, while manual work can take up to 14 hours at the fastest, and the efficiency has increased by 4 times." said the person in charge of the above-mentioned related products It said that in March this year, the Guangzhou Zengcheng project completed the putty coating construction of a 16-story residential building with a total of 94 households in 10 days. If you look at the traditional construction model, such efficiency is unimaginable.
So far, putty coating robots have been used in many projects such as Sanshui Country Garden Yongcui New City, Shantou Jinping Xinchenwan, Guangzhou Zengcheng Xingxi, Foshan Shunde Fengtong Garden, Shunde Country Garden Mengxi Valley and other projects, with a cumulative operating area of over 180,000 square meters, all of which passed quality inspection with high-quality finished surfaces. The R&D and application of
construction robots are an important manifestation of the company's "technological innovation" and have great potential to become the second growth curve of real estate. Zhongyan Industry Research Institute predicts that the overall compound growth rate of the industry will be around 22% from 2022 to 2026, and the market size of China's robot industry is expected to reach US$40.25 billion by 2025.
Technological innovation attracts young people to return to the construction industry
According to the "Statistical Analysis of Construction Industry Development in 2021" released by the China Construction Industry Association, the number of employees in the national construction industry reached 52.829 million in 2021, a decrease of 840,000 from the end of the previous year, marking the third consecutive year. year decline.The "In-depth Analysis of the Current Situation and Future Prospects of China's Construction Labor Industry Research Report" shows that labor workers over 30 years old account for more than 80%, workers between 25-29 years old account for less than 10%; labor workers under 24 years old account for only There are 3.89%. It is not difficult to see that my country’s construction industry has long faced challenges such as labor shortages and aging. How
improves the labor environment, expands growth space and improves production efficiency has become an important factor in attracting young people to return to the construction industry and achieving healthy and sustainable development of the industry.
“Bozhilin’s construction robots are all pink. This color expresses our hope for the construction industry, hoping to transform the construction industry into a dynamic and intelligent one, no longer the messy and dusty inherent impression of the past. Use robots to turn the construction site into a factory, and carry out efficient construction with streamlined processes." The person in charge of related products of Bo Zhilin said that their efforts have already had a certain effect, and many young people have begun to join the construction industry as industrial technicians. industry, "Most people firmly believe that intelligent construction is the future of the industry."
