AUTOMATION OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AS A FACTOR OF INCREASE IN ITS EFFICIENCY

The purpose of this study is to substantiate the effectiveness of automation of production processes in construction based on the implementation of 3D technologies. In the course of the study, measures to increase the efficiency of production processes in construction were considered, which can be conditionally divided into two groups: the first group — an increase in extensive loading; the second group — increasing the intensive load. Among the mentioned measures to increase the intensive load, the most promising is the automation of production processes. The effectiveness of automating the placement of concrete mixture in foundations using a construction 3D printer is considered. It is shown that the automation of the construction process for placing the concrete mixture in the foundations is one of the important factors of its efficiency, namely, the reduction of the duration of the construction process, the efficiency of the use of materials, and the reduction of costs. Therefore, one of the essential characteristics of modern construction production is the increase in the level of its automation, which will significantly increase its efficiency and solve many problems related to organization and maintenance. The advantages and disadvantages of automation of production processes in construction are given. The obtained research results can be applied in construction to improve the efficiency of production processes.
