Case Studies

Explore how companies are using Triweco’s custom solutions to unlock the true potential of advanced manufacturing, reaching optimal automation and throughput.

Cabinovo

Location: Canada
‍
Cabinovo delivers missing middle housing at scale, with a goal of building one million homes in the next ten years. They partner with homeowners, developers, and industry stakeholders to unlock underutilized land by producing multiplexes that blend seamlessly into near-core neighbourhoods and assembling them quickly onsite, bringing more homes to communities faster and with minimal disruption.

Triweco will deliver a state-of-the-art production line to Cabinovo, customized for steel-frame modular construction. Custom features of this line include sideways transported panels, a feeder table for the framing station to simplify the flow of heavy steel beams, and a butterfly table that can turn panels both forwards and back again.

CABN

Location: Canada
‍
CABN is a clean tech company advancing an innovative manufacturing process for net-zero, cost-efficiency, prefabricated housing. CABN's homes are built with CLT panels that provide insulation properties and beautifully esthetic design, all wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests and Passive Haus building design maximizes the airtightness of the buildings.

Triweco will supply industrial house manufacturing expertise, advanced machinery, robotics (supplied by ABB) and software to CABN. Our advanced manufacturing line is designed to boost CABN’s home production capacity sixfold, enabling the factory to produce up to 300 homes annually.

VårgårdaHus

Location: Sweden
‍
VårgårdaHus is one of the leading house manufacturers in southern Sweden, with offsite construction produced successfully since 1987. They deliver high-quality prefabricated homes, with a strong focus on customer needs and individual design.

Triweco conducted a comprehensive feasibility study to identify strategic automation opportunities aimed at increasing production capacity. By analyzing VårgårdaHus’ existing manufacturing processes, production volumes, and takt times, Triweco produced a blueprint to consolidate three current production lines into a single, automated line with more automation. The solution allowed the cycle time for wall elements to be more than halved.

Maxmoduler

Location: Sweden
‍
Maxmoduler is a Swedish manufacturer of customized on-site cabins and modular buildings, producing flexible solutions for offices, housing, schools and more.

To make their module production more efficient, Maxmoduler wanted to explore automatic nailing without making major changes to their factory layout or production flow. After evaluating several options, they selected Triweco’s TB12 tool bridge - a compact multifunction bridge designed for smaller factories that can be installed over existing production tables and equipped with up to two tools for nailing, stapling or screwing.

Triweco supported Maxmoduler through implementation to ensure the bridge integrated smoothly with their existing processes, helping to boost productivity without disrupting their established workflows.

BoKlok

Location: Sweden
‍
BoKlok is a residential housing concept providing sustainable home ownership since 1996. The concept is developed and jointly owned by Skanska and IKEA and prioritizes efficient construction methods and carefully selected materials ensuring cost effective solutions without compromising quality. BoKlok currently operates in Sweden and the UK.

Triweco was tasked with designing and delivering two lines for BoKlok's new factory in Sweden. The new factory features a fully automated, high-output assembly line. The modules produced are fully finished with kitchens, bathrooms, and all installations are ready to be quickly assembled on-site.

Lett-Tak

Location: Norway
‍
Lett-Tak Systemer AS is one of the leading suppliers of roof elements in the Nordics, with 40+ years of experience in the industry.

Triweco was commissioned to design and develop the production equipment for Lett-Tak’s new environmentally friendly roof element, “Lett-Tak Wood”. This new product has a significantly lower CO₂ footprint compared to traditional solutions and is seen as the next generation of roof elements.

The production line includes several innovative features, such as automatic cleaning of surfaces to be glued, glue application with controlled flow rates, and gentle, careful flipping of the element—where the flippers automatically adjust based on the element’s current thickness.

Minera Roof Trusses & Joists

Location: UK
‍
Minera Roof Trusses & Joists, based in North Wales, have been supplying roof trusses since 1977.

Triweco were commissioned to build a production line of wall panels for Passive Houses for Minera/TyEco. Houses built to passive house standards are constructed so that all conceivable heat losses are minimized, and an airtight and well-insulated building is created.

Nivika

Location: Sweden
‍
Nivika is a real-estate company in Sweden that owns, manages, and develops residential and commercial properties. With a focus on long-term ownership and sustainable value growth, the company operates in regions across southern Sweden, offering both housing and business premises.

Triweco delivered a modular assembly line comprising multiple assembly stations, a hydraulically driven transfer system (push system), as well as a lift solution that transports finished modules out of the factory at a level approximately three meters above floor level. Wheel tracks installed on the floor were equipped with pneumatic swivel mechanisms, allowing forklifts to pass freely. The solution also included platforms around the modules, enabling operators to safely access and exit the modules without any risk of falling.

Baseco

Location: Sweden
‍
Baseco is a Swedish manufacturer of wood-based building products, including flooring, panels, and houses. Rooted in northern Sweden, the company combines carefully selected raw materials with traditional craftsmanship to produce durable timber products and ready-to-build homes and cabins.

Triweco installed a new wall panel production line at Baseco, increasing the pace of manufacturing wall elements for Baseco's high-quality cabins. The nail pushers from Senco Kyocera have to work a bit harder to drive nails into the dense northern Swedish timber - much tighter-grown than what we’re used to in southern Sweden! Nail pushers are an ideal choice over nail guns to reduce noise levels in the factory and ensure precise control of nail depth in exterior cladding.

In addition to the nail pushers, the gantry is equipped with a rotating and tilting saw for cutting drip edges and openings for doors and windows. The system is controlled directly from CAD files.

Anebyhusgruppen

Location: Sweden
‍
Anebyhus is a Swedish house manufacturer with a long tradition of building prefabricated wooden homes. The company focuses on delivering customizable, factory-built houses that combine classic Scandinavian design with modern construction methods and efficient production.
‍
Triweco delivered an interior wall production line to Anebyhusgruppen’s modular factory in Klövefors, southern Sweden. To optimize the use of available floor space in the factory, the wall elements are transported lengthwise through the production flow. A key feature of the solution is a highly customized turntable that functions both as a receiver and an upriser, lifting the elements on their long side and placing them on a trolley - meaning the station can raise elements in two directions.

Bruksbalken

Location: Sweden
‍
Bruksbalken is a specialist in timber construction, focusing on buildings for agriculture, industry, and storage. With in-house production and generations of experience working with wood, the company delivers functional, flexible, and durable structures designed for efficient assembly and long-term use.

Bruksbalken made a strategic shift from supplying material kits assembled on-site to delivering fully prefabricated wall elements to their customers. This transition required a production solution that combined high flexibility with reliable performance, with the ability to support multiple production methods, including nailing studs in both vertical and horizontal (longitudinal) positions.

Triweco delivered a tailored production line designed to meet these requirements. The outcome was highly successful. Following the positive results and strong customer satisfaction, Bruksbalken quickly proceeded with an order for a second production line.
