Odico's Cut'n Move revolutionizes paving project: Munck saves 32 hours and enhances workplace safety

Munck faced a daunting challenge when tasked with paving 6600m² using custom-sized pavestones. Traditional suppliers couldn't meet their needs, leaving over 3500 pavestones to be cut, a process that would have taken over 32 hours.

Jacob Aaquist from Munck Forsyningsledninger explains, "It was a big challenge, unexpected. Thankfully, we discovered Odico A/S and their Cut'n Move robotic solution, which we adopted immediately."

Cut'n Move streamlined the cutting process, saving time and reducing physical strain. Crucially, it also minimized noise and eliminated dust near the adjacent office, enhancing safety and work environment.

Munck's adoption of this innovative technology not only tripled productivity by cutting 1700 pavestones in under 9 hours but also underscored their commitment to employee satisfaction and workplace safety.
