SURVEYING THE SECTOR distributed manufacturing , reduces operating costs by cutting resource consumption . Digital platforms connect teams across competencies and locations , encouraging creative , collective thinking and transdisciplinary collaboration . This empowers continuous improvement efforts ; fostering a culture of learning and innovation aligned with lean principles . Seamless connectivity with suppliers and customers facilitates resilience , through just-in-time inventory management and optimised logistics ; reducing inventory carrying costs , minimising overproduction and ensuring smooth production flow .
The advantages of digital fabrication and off-site manufactured construction become apparent during the assembly stage , with BIM platforms providing multi-dimensional information for accurate progress on-site . Our kit-of-parts system facilitates assembly , disassembly and re-use , enabled by embedded digital product passports tracking every stage of a component ’ s lifecycle . This means buildings can be reconfigured , extended or reduced without waste . Alterations and upgrades to mechanical and electrical services , for example , are made simple by easy substitution of individual components with identical pre-manufactured parts ; incorporating service sleeves , ducts and conduits .
Ultimately , the synergy between the performance advantages of bio-based materials and the potential of Industry 5.0 offers a transformative opportunity for the construction industry . By embracing emergent digital technologies , we aim to demonstrate that the current linear , extractive model of high environmental burdens , use and waste can be replaced by catalysing a shift towards climate-positive buildings made from entirely regenerative materials , designed for a circular economy . �
