As Taiwan’s construction industry faces labor shortages, an aging workforce, and the challenge of transferring technical expertise, Kedge Construction is bringing artificial intelligence into everyday construction operations.
Kedge has introduced AI across multiple areas, including cost estimation, BIM design visualization, occupational safety image recognition, and robotic painting, turning digital innovation into practical solutions for the jobsite. According to a feature interview by Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA), Kedge began exploring AI applications across its construction processes in 2024 and has since expanded their use from planning and management to on-site operations. One example is Kedge’s AI-powered painting robot, which can automatically adjust spraying height, coating thickness, and distance based on site conditions. The robot handles large, repetitive areas while workers focus on detailed finishing work, helping improve efficiency and maintain consistent quality.
More importantly, AI and automation are helping create safer ways of working. By allowing workers to maintain greater distance from painting areas, robotic applications can reduce direct exposure to fumes and other challenging working conditions.
For Kedge, AI is not simply about adopting new technology. It is a practical tool for addressing workforce challenges, preserving professional expertise, improving construction quality, and creating safer jobsites. By integrating AI with engineering experience, Kedge continues to explore a smarter and more people-centered future for construction.
