Okibo announced the general release of its BLASTER technology, designed for the EG7 and EG7+ (seen above) autonomous construction robots.
Construction robotics company Okibo announced the commercial availability of its BLASTER (Broad Layer Airless Spray Technology for Efficiency & Repeatability) gun.
The company, which said its technology brings value-added safety and efficiency to skilled teams, is expanding its autonomous construction technology capabilities.
Okibo said that BLASTER is engineered specifically for the EG7 and EG7+ autonomous robots. The company said that this double-nozzle spray system redefines industrial painting and priming standards for large-scale job sites.
The BLASTER features a synchronized dual-gun configuration, capable of covering a standard four-foot board width (and up to 24 feet high) in two passes. By doubling the effective spray area, Okibo said that the technology significantly reduces the time required for high-volume coating tasks while maintaining a level of precision and material consistency unattainable through manual application.
"The BLASTER gun represents a pivotal advancement in our mission to automate the most labor-intensive and repetitive tasks in construction," said Nadav Shuruk, co-founder and COO of Okibo. "By combining our AI-guided autonomous platforms with this high-capacity spray system, we are enabling contractors to achieve 5x productivity gains in painting and priming, while providing a high-quality finish that meets the most stringent project specifications every single time."
Okibo added that the BLASTER-equipped EG7+ was successfully deployed on a major construction project in Jacksonville, FL. The project focused on streamlining the finishing phase of a large-scale commercial facility, where speed and safety are paramount.
