Intelligent Movable Container House

The intelligent movable container house is an innovative architectural form that breaks down a house into standardized modules, prefabricates them in a factory, transports them to the site for rapid assembly, and incorporates intelligent functions. The following is an introduction from multiple aspects:

Construction Mode

• Modular Production: The complete house is disassembled into standardized modules, and most of the construction processes, including the main structure, water and electricity pipelines, bathroom waterproofing, sanitary equipment, cabinets, and wardrobes, are completed in the factory. For example, a structural modular intelligent factory in Guangdong disassembles a house into six components: the bottom, top, and four sides, and produces them simultaneously on multiple sub-production lines. Finally, the complete box is assembled at the end of the production line.
• Rapid Assembly: After the modules are transported to the project site, they are assembled like building blocks to form a complete building. The concrete MiC flexible intelligent manufacturing production line in a smart construction industrial park in Shenzhen can produce a complete set of building modules every 20 minutes.

Advantages and Characteristics

• Short Construction Period: By adopting a parallel operation mode, multiple processes are carried out simultaneously, shortening the construction period by more than 60% compared to traditional construction. For example, a modular elderly care apartment manufactured in China and purchased by a British merchant took only two weeks from factory shipment to completion of on-site hoisting and construction.
• High Quality: Factory-standardized production ensures stable manufacturing precision and controllable quality. For example, the first steel structure modular intelligent production line in China can produce up to 50 modules per day, with a production capacity ten times that of similar factories in North America, and the manufacturing precision is stably controlled within 1 to 2 millimeters.
• Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency: Lightweight steel structure modules significantly reduce the consumption of foundation materials, lowering the amount of foundation materials used by 60% - 70%. The steel waste from standardized CNC cutting in the factory is only 3% - 5%, while the waste of building materials on traditional construction sites is between 8% - 12%.

Intelligent Functions

• Real-time Positioning and Scheduling: Relying on Beidou + GPS dual-mode positioning and Internet of Things technology, it achieves full-scenario dynamic position management. Managers can view the precise location of the container house on their mobile phones or computer terminals, and can also transmit the transportation trajectory in real-time. Once the container house deviates from the preset route or stays in a non-designated area for more than 1 hour, the system automatically sends a warning.
• Intelligent Early Warning of Safety Hazards: Sensors are used to monitor structural deformation, fire, and electric leakage, etc., to detect safety hazards in a timely manner and issue warnings.
• Full Life Cycle Traceability: Information such as material sources, construction nodes, and maintenance records can be queried, facilitating management and maintenance.
