Case Study: J.R. Butler eliminates rework and delays with Raise Robotics

How J.R. Butler Eliminated Rework and Delays at St. Jude Children’s Hospital

J.R. Butler, a precision glazing specialist, faced a critical challenge while installing 10,000 curtain wall panels for a new St. Jude Children’s Hospital project. Their manual layout process, performed by an inexperienced crew, resulted in $130,000 of rework and a six-week schedule delay due to an inability to achieve the required 1/16-inch precision tolerances.

Raise Robotics implemented its robotic layout solution, which used a robot to autonomously and accurately print layout marks directly onto the concrete floors based on digital plans. This solution from Raise Robotics eliminated further rework, prevented over five weeks of delays, and ensured consistent precision on the remaining floors, saving J.R. Butler up to $130,000 and getting the project back on schedule.
