Rebar-Tier: increasing productivity, improving health

Precast products are becoming increasingly popular in residential and commercial buildings, parking facilities, and roads and bridges. Such products go a long way to help reduce labor and shorten construction time on-site. In many precast plants, however, tying continues to be one of the major manual work steps despite the development of automatic rebar positioning and welding machines. Manual tying is associated with issues such as hand-arm fatigue due to continuous work, long tying times and metal wire chips. All these problems can lead to a continuous decrease in productivity.
