The game-changer for automated facade finishing

Shifting paradigms in the battle against housing shortages

Fully automated finishing of facade elements

UNIQUE IN THE WORLD

Across the globe, there is a huge shortage of affordable housing. On top of this, there is also a shortage of skilled construction workers. SYBOLT tackles these problems by finishing facade elements under controlled conditions, fully automated, eliminating the need for manual masonry and grouting.

SYBOLT is an equally innovative and reliable solution for fully automatic application of ceramic stone strips and grout on concrete precast wall elements. By cleverly combining various technologies such as vision and robot technology with ceramic stone strips and cement-based adhesive, the SYBOLT production technology is unique in the world.

Deploying the SYBOLT enables efficient and circular realisation of unprecedented numbers of beautiful, affordable and energy-neutral homes!

Ceramic brick strips

MAINTAINING TRADITIONAL APPEARANCES

SYBOLT enables the complete finishing of a facade in a factory. By applying ceramic stone strips, new modular homes retain the traditional and true-to-life brick appearance. The ceramic stone strips are automatically modified so that brick dressings always fit and gable roofs can be produced fully automatically too.

Cementitious glue

A FORMULA CENTURIES IN THE MAKING

One of the SYBOLT’s many innovations is the application of the age-old cement in a new form: cementitious adhesive. The raw material has proven itself for centuries and we are all to eager to use it. By using cementitious adhesive and ensuring 100% full-surface bonding, the adhesion of the stone strips is guaranteed for decades.

Fully automatic grouting

GROUTED TO THE EDGE

Both the placement of brick slips as well as the application of the joint is done fully automatically. The joint colour, joint depth, joint width can easily be customized and even the corner edges of doors and window frames are fare jointed fully automatically (3D grouting). In addition, every joint is validated.

Freedom to design

NO HOME IS THE SAME

With SYBOLT technology, architects have more design freedom than ever before. The SYBOLT has a wealth of design options in terms of color, brick bonding, shapes, thickening, formats and angles. Brick slips are automatically modified so that every masonry bond is tightened, from the facade to the gable roof. Even the cut-out for the doorbell is prepared in-factory.

SYBOLT challenges creativity without compromise in terms of quality and output.

Quality assurance

QUALITY AT #1 IN FIRST-TIME-RIGHT PRODUCTION

Façade elements are scanned in 3D, after which the masonry bond is automatically adjusted to the deviations. The mixing ratio of both adhesive and grout is continuously monitored. In addition, the brick strip, glue, joint, temperature, humidity, opening time, processing time and dozens more variables are validated, and the digital twin data at brick strip level is linked to a digital passport through integration with the smart factory. Above all, the entire process is fully qualified (SKG-IKOB & TCKI). This way, SYBOLT guarantees first-time-right production.

Digital Twin technology

DATA, DATA, DATA

With Digital Twin technology, we log all production data at brick slip level, such as production date, drying time, temperature, humidity, application force, etc. We also validate the brick slips (dimensions, colour, modification, quality), the joint (depth, width, colour), cementitious glue and joint mix (open and processing time, mortar batch, weight, water), the bonding (100% full surface) and the concrete facade itself (dimensional tolerances). All generated data comes together in a digital passport of the facade element.
