Case Study: Bouma Corporation achieves 3X faster industrial installations with Dusty Robotics

Bouma Corporation speeds industrial layout 3x with Dusty Robotics

Bouma Corporation, a construction contractor, identified a critical bottleneck in American manufacturing: the slow and imprecise process of manually laying out equipment positions on factory floors using chalk and tape measures. This outdated method was delaying crucial industrial projects and keeping production lines idle. To address this challenge, Bouma partnered with Dusty Robotics and implemented its robotic layout platform.

The solution from Dusty Robotics involved printing detailed information—including machine positions, bolt patterns, and torque specs—directly onto the factory floor from CAD files. This provided installers with richer, more accurate data. The results were significant, including a project where installation throughput tripled from one unit per day to three. Bouma has completed roughly two dozen projects, achieving 3x faster installation times and enabling 100% integration of design and layout. Dusty Robotics' technology transformed layout from a manual task into a precise information platform.
