Schindler has grown its R.I.S.E robotic installation fleet to seven units after deploying across 36 job sites and driving roughly 50,000 anchor bolts autonomously in shafts from Austria to Singapore. A human operator monitors remotely while the robot measures, drills, and installs according to a pre-loaded digital plan. That is a meaningful chunk of traditional installation work handed to a machine. For those of you working installs or managing crews — are you seeing this kind of automation change how jobs are staffed or scoped on your end? Do you think it improves quality and safety, or does remote monitoring introduce its own risks?
