Doka to launch pioneering solutions at bauma 2025

17-03-2025

Doka, a world leader in providing innovative formwork, solutions and services in all areas of construction, together with parent company Umdasch Group, will be showcasing more than 40 pioneering innovations in formwork, scaffolding, and other key areas covering the lifecycle of a building object at bauma 2025.
 
Being held at Munich, Germany, from April 7 to 13, bauma is the world's leading trade fair for construction, building material and mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment.
 
Visitors to the 5,300 sq m exhibition space will experience new technologies, products, and materials designed to drive efficiency and boost productivity on the job site, with the aim of making concrete construction fit for the future, said Doka in a statement.
 
Construction productivity has lagged behind other industries for decades. While productivity in manufacturing increased by 90% and the overall economy by 50% between 2000 and 2022, construction saw only a 10% improvement, the equivalent of just 0.4% per year (McKinsey, 20241).
 
"We cannot build the future with yesterday’s methods," remarked its CEO Robert Hauser. 
 
"The construction industry is facing enormous challenges – above all, it must overcome its productivity stagnation. While we are just one part of the bigger picture, we are committed to creating real value within our field. Through new technologies and, most importantly, the consistent digitalisation of the entire formwork process. Making this possible for our customers must be our ambition – nothing less," he noted.
 
The growing portfolio of Doka products and services is future-proofing the industry by updating outdated construction methodology. 
 
At bauma 2025, Doka will be showcasing more than 40 innovative products and solutions, all designed to help customers boost their productivity. 
 
To further highlight its ambitions for the next era of construction, Doka will unveil its vision of a fully digitised formwork process. 
 
The focus is on enabling seamless process integration through a connected platform to unlock unparalleled transparency and full control over the entire formwork and pouring workflow, anytime and anywhere.
 
A semi-automated formwork robot, entire digitally controlled products, a new working method for concrete wall construction and more highlights await visitors in the new “smart construction” outdoor area at the Doka booth.
 
At the upcoming expo, Doka will be introducing a new method for constructing concrete walls: Doka LeanForm is a central pre-assembly platform that, just like an assembly line, allows complete formwork units to be assembled at a safe, controlled workstation, before being lifted into place by a crane. 
 
This brings numerous advantages, including shorter distances between storage and workspaces, which minimise transportation needs, reduced search and waiting times on the site, and more. 
 
Doka is also presenting a glimpse into the future, as a robot will mobilise and place various components in the pre-assembly platform.
 
After making its prototype debut at the last show, the DokaXbot Lift has been completely reengineered for bauma 2025. 
 
Featuring intuitive ground-level operation, automatic fine adjustments, and compensation for floor unevenness, the DokaXbot Lift now enables the precise positioning of formwork elements up to 5.7m high, making overhead work safer and more efficient, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
