Advanced Schindler R.I.S.E construction robot in Singapore to support Shaw Tower redevelopment

Advertisement

Schindler Group’s pioneering Robotic Installation System for Elevators (Schindler R.I.S.E) is revolutionizing vertical construction projects worldwide, with a recent deployment in the redevelopment of Shaw Tower in downtown Singapore. The robot autonomously installs elevator components, reducing human involvement to a specialist operator, thereby enhancing speed, precision, and safety. This aligns with government initiatives in Singapore advocating for automation in construction, particularly in the labor-intensive task of lift shaft installation. Schindler R.I.S.E successfully completed its task at Shaw Tower in June, contributing to the building’s sustainability and modernization. Under project manager Lendlease, Shaw Towers Realty embraced the technology, reflecting a commitment to safer and more efficient building methods. With Schindler’s global workforce and the potential for international adoption, the technology marks a significant step towards modernizing construction practices in tall buildings worldwide.

Evacuation of molds for vacuum assisted casting

Vacuum-assisted casting technology is crucial in manufacturing high-precision parts for the automotive, aerospace, and rail industries, enhancing efficiency, reducing defects, and minimizing material waste while promoting sustainability. Traditional oil-lubricated vacuum pumps, though reliable, require regular maintenance due to oil contamination from dust. In contrast, modern dry-compressing vacuum pumps, such as those offered by Leybold, avoid these issues by eliminating the need for oil, thus reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption. The adoption of dry-compression vacuum systems supports sustainability goals by reducing CO2 emissions, optimizing energy efficiency, and improving the overall reliability and safety of casting operations.
