Case Study: Skanska achieves 3-month schedule compression with Dusty Robotics’ FieldPrinter

How Dusty's multi-trade layout helped Skanska shave 3 months off the construction schedule

Skanska, one of the world’s largest construction companies, faced a challenge in efficiently laying out multiple trades for a large medical facility project. To address this, they turned to Dusty Robotics and implemented its FieldPrinter robot to automate the complex layout process.

The solution from Dusty Robotics involved using the autonomous FieldPrinter to print multi-trade layouts directly onto the construction surface in a single pass, creating a single source of truth for all teams. This approach resulted in 100% layout accuracy and a 50% increase in layout speed. Ultimately, Dusty Robotics helped Skanska save 6,864 man-hours and compress the project schedule by over three months while drastically reducing rework.
