Manufacton’s AI and data-driven solutions enhance offsite construction and prefabrication processes.
ALLPLAN, part of the Nemetschek Group, announced its acquisition of Manufacton, headquartered in Alpharetta, GA, USA. Manufacton is an offsite construction software platform that offers real-time tracking of offsite production and improves prefabrication processes using AI and data analytics. This strategic supports ALLPLAN’s efforts to expand digital construction solutions and strengthen its presence in modular construction and Design for Manufacturing (DfMA) sectors.
The rise of modular construction and DfMA in AEC
Recent market trends indicate increased adoption of modular construction and DfMA within the AEC industry. Labor and housing shortages are contributing to the use of modular construction methods, while greater attention to reducing carbon emissions and improving sustainability is leading to a shift toward offsite fabrication.
Manufacton supports this industry trend by providing integrated project management software for offsite construction and prefabrication. Their solution, utilized by general and specialty trade contractors, as well as modular builders, combines manufacturing production and construction project management software. This enables contractors to manage and track offsite construction and modular fabrication throughout the construction process.
In addition to providing growth opportunities, the acquisition of Manufacton creates technology synergies by improving market and customer access. The acquisition supports ALLPLAN’s growth in the US market and enables Manufacton to reach customers in Europe and Asia Pacific.
