Could this be the future of construction? In Shenzhen, a new smart factory is building modular homes much like cars on an assembly line. With 80+ robots and smart machines, more than 70% of a building can be completed inside the factory -- with a fully equipped module rolling off the production line every 20 minutes. The modules are then shipped out for on-site assembly, cutting construction time by over 60%. #China #Shenzhen #SmartConstruction #Technology #Innovation Source: Xinhua
