On this episode of the MarketScale Engineering &amp; Construction Podcast, Alan Nudi, Director of Sales and Marketing at Ergo Robotic Solutions joined host James Kent for a discussion on Ergo's machines, and how they’re not just for lifting large sheets of glass. These machines can be a builder’s best friend for a lot of different types of materials.Nudi began the episode with a brief overview of his company, Ergo Robotic Solutions, and what these machines are typically used for, and the types of glass materials they lift. But quickly the conversation shifted to the many other types of materials these customizable machines can lift. From large pieces of curved glass, textured glass, sheet metal, concrete walls, plywood, and sheet rock. Nudi described the various uses for the company's machinery, and how they tackle lifting these materials.Throughout the discussion, Nudi provided examples of building situations where these machines can make the impossible possible and save time which lowers constructions costs. One item people may be surprised to learn these machines can lift, are large pieces of rigid construction foam. This material can be cumbersome to lift, yet Ergo's machines make it easy. One person can operate the machine and lift huge piles of foam, instead of several people manually doing it.While the majority of these lifting scenarios involve the suction aspects of ergo robotic machines, Nudi explained that the customizable nature of the machines have allowed builders to use them for lifting projects that required different ways of handling the material. An example Nudi mentioned was a project in California that required the lifting of a 3,000 lb piece of curved glass that was 27ft wide. Special brackets were installed on the machine to help lift it.Due to the customizable nature of these machines, Nudi said many machines are built to order, to handle the specific building needs and challenges of the client.“Every job has something unique to it,” said Nudi.With these Ergo Robotic Solutions available to do things that were cumbersome, expensive, or impossible to do in the past, architects have more freedom to make their artistic visions come true.

Beyond Lifting Glass: The Versatility of Ergo Robotic Machines with Alan Nudi

The AEC industry, though at its core very unified, has so many niche markets and skill-sets that often times each of those sects has trouble fully understanding the breadth of work of their AEC peers. One such market is the world of glass installation. In the midst of an aesthetic era that values the sleekness, sustainability and transparency of glass, the manufacturing processes behind glass installation have had to become more flexible and more refined. On today’s episode of the AEC Podcast, Ergo Robotic's Alan Nudi, Director of Sales and Marketing for the company, explains the what it's like to evolve in the world of glass installation. “Small scale glass may be installed by hand or by small lifts, but at some point, it becomes unsafe and infeasible to use this approach. Our machines enable construction companies to install glass in excess of 5,000 pounds, creating a solution for the problem at hand," Nudi said. The equipment is designed and manufactured at the company’s facility in upstate New York and typically consists of an arrangement of suction cups to hold the glass along with hydraulics to lift and place. “Many factors impact exactly how the machine will be built. There are weight and size considerations. Then you have to consider how far up the glass is going as well as if it will be installed via the interior or exterior. Is it curved or textured, and so on,” Nudi said. With all these different elements to consider, most of the machines built by Ergo are custom to each client and project. “We meet with clients who have a problem but aren’t usually experts in glass lifting equipment. We ask a lot of questions and educate them on what will be the best solution. Probably over half of the machinery we build is custom because glass installation, for sure, is not a one size fits all.” Discover more about this unique corner of the AEC industry and how Ergo solves problems for builders by giving the podcast a listen.

Bringing Transparency to the World of Glass Installation Equipment with Alan Nudi of Ergo Robotic Solutions

Ergo Robotic Rolutions

In our MarketScale AEC podcasts, we often focus on products that are cutting edge as well as the innovative people that design and install them. Today, we to look at the sales side. It is equally important on the back-end to find out what the customer wants and needs, and to have someone who can coordinate the sales and installation of the product effectively.  On this episode, we speak with Alan Nudi, director of sales and marketing for Ergo Robotic Solutions, a company that was designed to increase safety during glass installations. With an aesthetic trend for glass in design, the kinds of installations hitting the market are growing in size; glass can be hundreds or thousands of pounds, and the outdated method of a dozen people trying to hold and move this glass with suction cups is never the safest. Solving an issue like this comes from understanding the needs of this niche side of AEC; Ergo has made it its mission to provide that solution, creating and designing machines to produce a safer environment for the glass installer.  These machines aren't limited in their use; they can lift wood, concrete, types of foam, or other materials. But they are always approached with the perspective of glass first because it's the most delicate. There are also machines that can rotate and turn items as necessary, or approach buildings that are not on level ground or that are extremely high up. For sales teams getting these assistive products to the AEC industry, Nudi explains why it's important for them to understand the environment. It dictates the solution that is recommended, whether it be self-driving, under hook, front mounted, or otherwise.  Give this episode a listen for more tips from Nudi about understanding the intricacies of every job and interfacing with the customer.
