Connected Autonomous Plant
Being early adopters of new technologies is an integral part of the structure of Castle & Pryor. We continually invest in the latest innovative equipment to ensure that we are at the forefront of modern construction. We are one of the market leaders, making way for the implementation of automation in construction.
What is Connected Autonomous Plant (CAP)?
This technology enables our operatives to work on construction sites with minimal human intervention. As a result of smarter working we have seen an increase in productivity of 25% using less man power saving time and money on the project. The technology also encourages greener and Safer ways of working, as well as creating high-skilled jobs for our team.
We have seen the benefit of using CAP for over 20 years, through our robotic demolition, track, wall and wire sawing.

• Minimises manual handling due to remote operation
• Increases productivity by 25%
• All diamond cutting operations can be carried out Dust Free
• Equipment efficiency and high productivity alleviates skill shortages
• Noise free operations can be carried out using non-percussive techniques
The future of CAP
We know that over the coming years there will be an increase in the use of CAP. As the benefits of smarter working are there for all to see. If you think we can be of benefit on your project please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.
