"We’re on a mission to build climate resilient homes for all…leveraging the latest robotics and automation technologies."

Construction costs have doubled in the last decade, and we have a shortage of skilled workers to build them anyway. In addition, climate events are getting more severe, so how can we start designing products that are climate-friendly, more resilient to changing weather patterns, and significantly less expensive? That’s Reframe Systems in a nutshell, explained Vikas Enti, CEO and Co-Founder of Reframe Systems. In this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, Enti joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss the company’s mission, enabling technologies, and process. The discussion covered robotics, physical AI, 3D imaging, construction trends, and more. Check out this episode to learn how Reframe is leveraging industrial automation technologies to build sustainable homes.
