Alimak Group and Skyline Robotics are creating an automatic constructing upkeep unit (BMU). Alimak Group additionally made an undisclosed, strategic funding in Skyline Robotics.
Based on Skyline Robotics, the worldwide building business is valued at $12.74 trillion. It stated that automating the business, particularly for sophistication A constructing building, is not going to solely improve operational effectivity but additionally contribute to sustainable constructing administration.
Skyline Robotics’ flagship product, Ozmo, is a high-rise window-cleaning robotic. Based in 2017, the firm stated Ozmo retains individuals out of hurt’s approach, improves the consistency and high quality of window cleansing, and even creates new jobs. The corporate‘s objective is to automate all forms of work at heights, beginning with window cleansing. In 2023, Ozmo earned the corporate an RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award from The Robotic Report.
Alimak will combine Skyline Robotics Ozmo to offer autonomous window cleansing to keep up property whereas complying with extraordinarily punitive environmental, social, and governance rules. Combining Alimak Group’s international experience in vertical entry options and Skyline’s robotics experience, the businesses imagine the three way partnership may also help constructing upkeep crews deal with more and more complicated design challenges, labor shortages, and finest practices.

With a presence in additional than 120 nations, Alimak Group develops, manufactures, sells, and providers vertical entry and dealing at top options. It has a concentrate on including buyer worth by means of enhanced security, larger productiveness, and improved value effectivity. The group has a big put in base of elevators, service lifts, non permanent and everlasting hoists and platforms, and constructing upkeep items all over the world.
“This partnership represents the following step within the evolution of BMU know-how, making them smarter and extra integral to trendy asset administration,” stated Philippe Gastineau, senior govt vice chairman of the Façade Entry Division and the Top Security & Productiveness Options Division at Alimak Group. “By automating BMUs, we’re redefining how buildings are maintained whereas supporting architects and builders in creating progressive, sustainable constructions.”
In August 2024, Skyline Robotics and Palladium Window Options deployed Ozmo at a 45-story New York constructing owned and managed by The Durst Group. Skyline’s system consists of synthetic intelligence, machine studying, laptop imaginative and prescient, and a KUKA robotic arm. Ozmo went by means of rigorous testing and meets regulatory necessities, the famous.
“We’re main a brand new period of automated facade entry. Our unique partnership with Alimak Group additional extends our imaginative and prescient to personal the facade. We now have seen the impression of automation in current infrastructure reminiscent of our window cleansing robotic Ozmo and now look to additional rework the business with the most important international supplier of sustainable vertical entry options,” Michael Brown, the CEO of Skyline Robotics, stated.
