The machines behind the world’s fastest house factories.
Randek designs and builds the automation that turns a CAD model into finished walls, floors and roof trusses, from a single saw to a complete house factory.

Start where you are. Grow from there.
One supplier and one data chain from the first saw to an unmanned line. Each step builds on the one before, so what you buy today is part of the line you run tomorrow.
-
01Get started
The first machines
Standalone machines for component and panel production. Quick to deliver and built to be extended.
-
02Semi-automatic
Lines the operator runs
The machine takes the heavy, repetitive positioning and nailing. Extended station by station.
-
03Fully automatic
CAD/CAM and robot lines
From CAD file to finished element, with robots sheathing, fastening and insulating.

The questions factory owners ask first
How much automation do I actually need?
It depends on your volume, product mix, available labour, floor space and budget. Many factories start manual or semi-automatic and add automation as the order book grows; nothing bought at the start is wasted. A Randek pre-study recommends the right level before anything is ordered.
Can I automate my existing production line?
Yes. Stations and robot cells can be added one at a time. ZeroLabor cells retrofit onto lines already in production or run independently, and single stations such as the FM1 framing station add a step without a new line.
How much capacity do I need?
It follows from how many homes you build a year, your mix of walls, floors and roofs, and how many shifts you run. The pre-study sets the capacity level from your building system and your demand. For scale: AutoWall produces 100–150 m of wall per hour and AutoFloor 70–90 m² of floor per hour.
Should I automate one process or the complete production flow?
Often one bottleneck first. Randek lines are built to be upgraded, not replaced, so automating the step that holds production back is a common first move, and the next step runs on the same data chain. The automation guide walks through the options.
AutoWall: walls at 100–150 m per hour
One line family, five configurations. From an entry-level ZL R1 cell to a full closed-element line with robotic insulation. Timber or LGS framing, on the same platform.
Robotic sub-assembly, sheathing and insulation cells retrofit onto AutoWall lines already in production.
The software is the edge
What decides whether a line actually produces is the data chain from CAD model to machine instruction, and back again as measured output.
- Your designCAD / BIM model
- 01 PLAN Randek PlannerPlan elements across lines, with checks before the file reaches the line. →
- 02 VERIFY Randek ViewerEvery element in 3D. Catch errors before production. →
- 03 PRODUCE Machine HMIOne screen per station, showing only what that station needs. →
- 04 IMPROVE MyRandekMachine data you can act on, in real time. →
From BIM model to machine instruction, with no re-drawing in between.
Open by design
We do not ask you to change your design system. If it produces a usable model, we take it from there.
- Works with your existing CAD
- No programming for the customer
- One data chain from plan to measured output
Ask the people who run the lines
Factory owners and production managers running Randek lines today, with their names on the quote.
“They didn’t just provide automation; they co-developed a process that works in a real-world, high-volume factory.”
We have two AutoEye roof truss systems because they build the highest quality trusses in the world, and they do it faster and with less labor than anything else.”
With the Randek system we can guarantee a consistently high quality of nail-plate trusses. Every source of error is eliminated by the system.”
Our original site in Westhill, Scotland, has had Randek framers for over 30 years. We were probably one of the earliest Randek customers in the UK.”
From pre-study to production start
You are committing a factory, a workforce and a production plan. This is how we take it from idea to running line, together with you.
Pre-study
Products, KPIs, factory constraints, layout and the right level of automation. Before anything is ordered.
Engineer & prove
Built at our own plants in Sweden, then verified through Factory Acceptance Testing before it ships.
Install & empower
Our own installation staff commission the line, train your operators and supervise the production start.
Measure & support
MyRandek tracks the KPIs. A service agreement protects long-term performance.
Single machines ship in a few months. A complete system takes six to eighteen months.
The order is the start of the relationship.
A Randek line is engineered to be upgraded, not replaced. Service, spare parts, modernization and training, from the people who built it.
- Service agreements and remote support
- Spare parts from Sweden and local stock
- Modernization and capacity upgrades of existing lines
- Operator and maintenance training
