Robotic Formwork Fabrication

We helped Odico fix a bug in a bespoke robotics solution for one of their clients and get formwork production running again.

Overview

Challenge

Odico had built a bespoke solution for one of their clients, using connected C# scripts in Grasshopper to make formwork with robots. A bug in the code had stopped production on that project.

What We Built

We found the problem in the scripts and fixed it so Odico could get back to production.

The Work

Odico sent us their scripts, and we started investigating how they worked together. We tracked down the bug in the C# code and fixed it so production could start again.

Results

  • Production restarted as soon as the bug was fixed.
  • Less than 48 hours from the initial call to the fix.
