AEP has engaged the House of Design to supply and install truss manufacturing robotic automation equipment at locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and New Brunswick over the next two years.
NANAIMO — Atlas Engineered Products (AEP) has accepted proposals for the installation of robotic automation equipment at three of its locations and has made initial deposits to secure the installation for it.
AEP has engaged the House of Design to supply and install truss manufacturing robotic automation equipment at locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and New Brunswick over the next two years.
The installation is expected to have a total cost of over US $7 million for all three of these locations. The company is hoping that this robotic automation will double the board foot output of roof truss manufacturing while providing significant cost savings.
“The labour we are saving on the truss manufacturing side can then be used to continue our organic growth goals by increasing the labour available to support wall panel manufacturing and other staffing requirements that will be needed for future growth,” said Hadi Abassi, CEO and president of the company.
