Un événement à ne pas oublier : Le monde modulaire 2023

La conférence et le salon World of Modular 2023 de MBI se sont tenus en avril au luxueux Bellagio Resort & Hotel de Las Vegas, dans le Nevada. World of Modular est depuis longtemps la meilleure occasion pour le secteur de rencontrer de nouveaux contacts, d'apprendre des experts du secteur et de renouer avec de vieux amis, mais cette année, alors que MBI fêtait ses 40 ans au service du secteur de la construction modulaire commerciale, l'excitation était palpable. Avec plus de 1 500 participants, cet événement a été le plus important jamais organisé par MBI.

Pendant quatre jours, les participants ont assisté à de nombreux discours-programmes, ont choisi parmi des dizaines de sessions éducatives en petits groupes, ont obtenu des pistes et des contacts auprès de plus de 160 exposants, ont enseigné et inspiré des dizaines de lycéens et d'étudiants en visite, et ont été divertis par des fêtes, des parties de golf et de nombreuses opportunités de réseautage.

A tous ceux qui ont participé : Merci. Nous sommes impatients de vous retrouver l'année prochaine à Orlando !

Voici une rétrospective du Monde Modulaire 2023...

Le monde du modulaire revient à Orlando en 2024

La 41e édition annuelle de World of Modular revient au magnifique hôtel et centre de villégiature Rosen Shingle Creek, dans la ville ensoleillée d'Orlando, en Floride, du 18 au 21 mars 2024. Nous vous y attendons !

From Model to Machine: Why Modular Scale Is Becoming a Software Problem, not a Material One

For modular manufacturers that have already secured demand and repeatable volume, the next major constraint may no longer be forming capacity itself. Increasingly, it is the continuity of the information feeding that capacity.

Who Will Define Modular Products for AI?

Artificial intelligence is making building configurators easier and less expensive to create. This makes urgent manufacturers’ need portable product definitions, stable identities, and shared interfaces regardless of how others’ software is produced.

From BIM to Robotic Production: A Digital Workflow for Customized Components in Volumetric Modular Construction

For volumetric modular manufacturers, the value of this workflow is not simply the use of robotics. Its real value is continuity.

Helping Build a Common Framework for Modular Construction in Canada

Canada’s modular construction sector continues to gain momentum, but scaling it successfully will depend on shared expectations across design, manufacturing, approvals, and project delivery. CSA Z251 helps provide that common foundation.

Edges, Exits & Equipment: A Modular Builder’s Guide to Rooftop Access

Rooftop access belongs in the factory design. Before the modules ship, the project team should identify each route’s users, confirm applicable requirements, coordinate with the roof system and structure, and assign responsibility.

When Timber Production and Modular Construction Share One System

As demand for multifamily and workforce housing continues to outpace what conventional construction timelines can deliver, models that reduce the number of handoffs between structural fabrication and modular assembly are likely to draw more attention.

Your AI Strategy Is an Enablement Strategy

Tools will change. Teaching employees only the steps in one platform creates a narrow capability. Involving them in problem definition, process mapping, data assessment, controls, and measurement gives the organization a way to improve its systems as technology evolves.

By-Right Permitting: The Missing Lever for Scaling Modular Multifamily

Modular has already proven it can outperform traditional building methods on speed and cost per unit. The next frontier is outside the factory in the front end of the process, where projects either clear a path to construction or get stuck in review.

Remote Inspections and The Future of Factory Oversight

Remote inspection is becoming a practical part of modular construction oversight. Its value is greatest when it is used selectively, governed by clear procedures, and supported by complete traceability.

Reimagining Dry-In: How a Temporary-to-Permanent Roofing Strategy Mitigates Risk Between Modular Installation and Final Roof Construction

As volumetric modular projects continue to increase in scale and complexity, the Temporary-to-Permanent FiberTite Roof System represents an example of how traditional trade scopes can be reimagined through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles.
