Situation
Quadra Ligna AG has been renovating historic windows for over 40 years, bringing them up to modern building standards without any major visual changes.
Course of action
In the joint project, the logging of the data of old windows is being digitised with the help of a mobile app and data connection. The data then flows into the automated programming of a robot that removes the glass from the window. The time saved by digitising these key amounts to 75 percent.
