Mobile Micro Factory
Facit Technologies' plug-and-play manufacturing technology is compact and portable, capable of producing sophisticated, engineered timber building components on-demand at any site. Each micro-factory can manufacture up to 100 homes per year at a fraction of the capital cost of traditional factory-built homes, allowing it to manage demand fluctuations effectively while reducing CO2 emissions from transportation by 90%.
Facit Chassis Printer
-
The new machine self-feeds material from a delivered pallet before it prints instructions and important information onto the plywood sheets.
-
The sheet is automatically moved to the CNC bed where the parts are cut.
-
Following the completion of cutting the parts are automatically moved to the buffer rack to allow continuous production. These parts are stored until they are ready to be assembled into components.
In partnership with:
Facit Technologies offers a pioneering manufacturing system that prints essential information—such as M&E layout, product details, assembly instructions, survey targets, and QR codes—directly onto the built surfaces of superstructures. This innovative approach prevents common construction errors like incorrect fixture placement or specification mismatches, saving time, money, and reducing the need for rework.

Bringing Technology On-Site
Central to the FACIT philosophy is the integration of technology directly on the construction site through their pioneering On-Site Micro Factory approach. This method, akin to just-in-time manufacturing, involves fabricating components on-site for immediate assembly, significantly reducing transportation needs and logistical complexities. It also requires lower capital expenditure compared to traditional factory setups, offering scalable investments tailored to project-specific requirements. Moreover, on-site fabrication ensures high accuracy and certainty, minimizing errors and rework while enhancing quality control and assembly speed. This innovative approach exemplifies the future of construction, where technology and efficiency converge for superior building outcomes.
Built on Experience
Facit have been developing their technology for a number of years. This originated from a CNC machine located in a shipping container located on site.
Solutions at Different Scales
Through the development and evolution of the mobile on-site production facility, Facit Technologies have been able to scale the production of housing from one-off to multi-unit residential quickly and cost effectively. With the development of the latest FCP, each MicroFactory will be able to facilitate the construction of 80-100 homes per annum with lead times on further machines also very low compared to building modular factories. FACIT can now also offer solutions for different scales of production and different costs from small scale to larger scale.
