Brave Control Solutions Inc.

I always say, we have the best workers right here in Ontario.   It was great to meet the team at Ro-Matt International Inc. and Brave Control Solutions Inc. to see how they construct engineered manufacturing solutions, helping their clients succeed in the global marketplace.   Thanks for having me by!

🛠️ Braves Technology Solution to the Affordable Housing Crisis: 🚀 Five years post-pivot, Brave Control Solutions has not just entered a new market—we've been at the bleeding edge of innovation, building machines that tackle process challenges never solved before. Leaving behind our comfort zone in automotive automation, we ventured into the construction manufacturing sector. Here, R&D and product development aren't just part of the business—they are the business. Our foray into this industry demanded a seismic shift from service delivery to true technological invention. We've redefined what it means to be innovative. It's no longer about incremental changes but about pioneering solutions, and devising machinery that paves the way for breakthroughs in construction processes. Join us as we reflect on this extraordinary journey with our latest video, showcasing how we've transformed from automation experts to the architects of never-before-seen machines in construction automation. #ThinkBrave #CAD2Fab #AutomationforConstruction #Affordablehousing #BraveControlSolutions #InnovationJourney #AdvancedManufacturing #ConTech #EngineeringInnovation #PioneeringSolutions #LFG Cooper Lane Jason Di Fazio, P.Eng Ken Semler Dave Cooper 🎥 Ryan Rasmussen, P.E.

We need to scale up and industrialize housing production. Why is that so difficult? We could probably list hundreds of reasons, but if I had to rank all of them, I would highlight three challenges that are the most interdisciplinary. 🏚 Planning and Procurement: To industrialize means to change the way we plan buildings. A design-bid-build process assumes that the method of construction/manufacturing does not matter, and design is independent from materiality. It couldn't be further from the truth. If we want to industrialize and scale housing production, we need to plan with systems providers. 🤖 Product Platforms for Construction: To combine production at scale and customizability, we need to learn from other industries. Product platforms and modularization of products have been successful in many other areas. In construction, this means that we need companies who can provide assemblies with enough variability to serve a large market segment. The most successful product platforms are those that combine customer needs and technical abilities. 📃 Zoning and Building Codes: Building codes, inspection procedures, and zoning, all need to allow or incentivize modern methods of construction. Many things need to happen: Consolidating building codes, incentivizing prefabrication for faster and quieter construction processes, and allowing for simpler building envelope geometries. If we truly want to scale up housing production, we need to move towards systematized product platforms - but also planning processes that incentivize the use of them. One does not work without the other. Let's work together to make this change (finally) happen! #MMC #masstimber #housing #prefab #modularconstruction #timberconstruction #affordability
