At Hindmarsh Plumbing, we are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation to enhance efficiency, safety, and precision in our projects. The plumbing industry has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, with emerging technologies revolutionising how systems are designed, installed, and maintained. From smart leak detection to automated drilling solutions, the latest innovations are transforming the possibilities of plumbing.

Investing in Cutting-Edge Technology: The Hilti Jaibot

In late 2024, we invested in the innovative Hilti Jaibot machinery on one of our major sites in South Australia.

The Hilti Jaibot is a state-of-the-art, semi-autonomous mobile drilling robot designed for ceiling installations. This advanced machine marks and drills holes with precision, following digital plans and predefined installation zones. By utilising the Jaibot, we enhance the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of our mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishing installation work.

Our goal is to accelerate construction while prioritising commercial viability and safety-centric solutions, without compromising the quality of our installations.

By automating overhead drilling, the Hilti Jaibot alleviates workers from the physically demanding, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks that typically involve working at heights and exposure to harmful silica dust. Equipped with a built-in dust removal system, it not only reduces physical strain but also promotes a cleaner, safer job site by automatically managing the dust it generates.

The Jaibot’s precision is unparalleled, with each hole’s location, depth, and diameter meticulously following digital plans, minimising errors and improving accuracy. Its seamless integration with digital systems allows for real-time project monitoring, ensuring optimal productivity and timely progress updates.

Key performance highlights of the Jaibot:

  • Drilling over 1,000 holes per day at ceiling heights up to five metres
  • A fully cordless system that operates for up to 8 hours on a single charge
  • Features an integrated dust removal and marking system for enhanced safety and cleanliness.

 

This innovative technology is a game-changer for the industry, delivering faster, more precise, and safer solutions on our job sites.

The plumbing industry is ever evolving, and at Hindmarsh Plumbing, we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge innovations in plumbing machinery and technology to exceed expectations on the delivery of project outcomes for our clients.
