In the modular industry since 1995, Panel Built understands that one of the driving motivators to choose prefabricated construction is the ease and convenience it affords. Unfortunately, every moment the facility spends "under construction" can hurt productivity or foot traffic, whether in an industrial or commercial environment. However, for these facilities looking to upgrade their outdoor spaces, Panel Built, Inc. delivers a pre-manufactured yet custom solution that are ready for fast installation upon delivery -- prefabricated, metal shelters.

Panel Built's prefab shelters, or transit shelters, can be used for various applications for malls, bus stops, logistical hubs, or even a general workplace. Panel Built's shelters are delivered to the facility atop a flatbed truck. From there, the shelter can be quickly unloaded, transported to its final destination, and anchored into place. This fast and convenient installation speed makes the structures great for quick upgrades or renovations for public spaces or businesses. Further, Panel Built offers complete turn-key installation, so every step of your installation process is in the hands of a professional. Panel Built offers fully custom shelter solutions, allowing us to adapt to unique applications and requirements. From bus stops to smoking shelters, Panel Built's prefab shelters create a durable solution that will serve your facility proudly for the long run.

Panel Built's line of modular structures stretches from these prefabricated shelters to 70ft military training towers. Through our over 25 years of experience, Panel Built has been able to work on thousands of modular projects all across the United States and internationally. From the US military to our local school system, Panel Built has one mission "To Solve Our Customers' Space Needs With Excellence And Great Customer Service."

KUKA to Showcase Cobots for Medical Applications at AAOS Meeting

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., Jan. 28, 2025 – Targeting the reduction of work-related injury for healthcare workers and shortening time-to-market for medical device OEMs, KUKA Robotics will bring two advanced medical innovations featuring cobot automation to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in booth #540. The event takes place in San Diego, California, March 10-14, and attendees will see how KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot solution helps reduce the incidence of arm and shoulder injury to ultrasound technicians and sonographers. A second cobot demonstration will feature a KUKA Robot Development Kit using a LBR MED 14 R820 cobot that helps slash development time for unique medical device solutions.

Because of the repetitive nature of their work, sonographers and ultrasound technicians commonly experience musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis and rotator cuff injury from their work that requires them to apply pressure with abnormal arm and shoulder positioning. Using robot technology such as KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot, however, can take the strain off these technicians by precisely conducting these repetitive exams autonomously. Equipped with a Haply Inverse3 Hapatic Feedback Teleop Device and an OptoForce FT Sensor, the LBR iisy robotic arm can be controlled and manipulated to apply the proper amount of force to the imaging head for a proper reading.
