ADMARES Group Announces Plans to Build a Smart Modular Home Plant in Waycross, Georgia
Finland’s ADMARES Group Ltd. plans to build six smart factories around the world, including one in Waycross, Georgia, according to Georgia Law News (8-6-23). The company’s goal is to revolutionize the housing industry by building houses on a robotic assembly line instead of a construction site.
The facility planned for Georia is scheduled to start production in 2025. The company says it plans to invest $750 million (USD) in the Waycross site and employ 1,400 people.
Using design software from Siemens, each home will have a “digital twin,” a method of creating complex physical products that enable simulation, testing, and monitoring using a digital representation of the object. Homeowners have continuous access to information about their home throughout its lifecycle, including air quality data. All units are tested in the controlled environment of the factory before being sent to the assembly site.
In 2021, ADMARES claims to have erected a building in Brooklyn within two days.
In addition to single-family homes, the company also builds apartment buildings and terraced homes.
