Embodiment Construction

[0093] One embodiment of the invention can include a material transport system for use in manufacturing panels for building construction, such as in buildings constructed from steel frame or other appropriate building materials, including, but not limited to, aluminum or other metals, wood, plastics, composite materials, or combinations thereof. The material transport system can include a rail system allowing an empty tray to be loaded with appropriate materials for a specific panel. These trays can then be used to transport the panel materials to different stations on a manufacturing production line. Stations on the production line can include, but are not limited to, pre-welding, construction (at “framing tables”), post-welding, and sheeting stations. The panels can be moved between one or more of the stations on roller systems. The trays for carrying the original materials can be returned to the starting location, either automatically or manually, after delivery of the materials ...

Abstract

The disclosed technology enables manufacturers to efficiently design and manufacture structural wall panels, floor panels and roof panels from cold-formed steel for use in residential and commercial construction. The panels are individual components that can be installed at a building site to form a structure that includes walls, floor and a roof. Structures may be manufactured in a manufacturing facility and delivered to a construction site for installation.
