Precision Robotics for Rebar Tying at Scale

A fully autonomous rebar-tying robot designed to help construction teams reduce labor strain, maintain schedules, and ensure consistent quality.

TyBOT Overview

TyBOT is an autonomous rebar-tying robot engineered to eliminate labor bottlenecks and enhance jobsite performance. With no pre-mapping required, TyBOT self-navigates its work zone and is operational within two hours—delivering up to 1,200+ ties per hour in all weather conditions.

Running continuously for up to 10 hours without refueling, TyBOT ties black and epoxy-coated bar in top and bottom mats, handles rebar up to #8 by #9, and operates on existing edge form or screed rail. With an expandable working width from 10 to 117 feet, it adapts to a wide range of bridge deck applications.

Enhanced Productivity

TyBOT performs over 9,600 ties in a standard 8-hour shift—freeing up crew hours, accelerating deck work, and helping reduce project backlog caused by labor shortages. On average, contractors experience a minimum of 25% schedule savings, allowing projects to move faster without increasing manpower.

Reduced Schedule Risk

Operational day or night, rain or shine, for up to 10 hours without refueling

TyBOT supports round-the-clock work, keeping critical path activities moving and helping contractors meet tight deadlines and avoid liquidated damages.

Increased Consistency icon

Increased Consistency

Tie accuracy with automated 100%, 50%, or 33% patterns

TyBOT ensures uniform tie placement across top and bottom mats, reducing costly rework and improving inspection outcomes. It ties epoxy-coated, black, galvanized, stainless, and fiberglass rebar using 16.5 AWG plastic-coated or 16 AWG black annealed wire on a 15 LB spool—delivering consistent performance and fewer spool swaps for uninterrupted productivity.

FAQs

What is the ideal project size for TyBOT?

We recommend using TyBOT on projects starting 25,000 Sq. Ft., with benefits increasing as project size grows.

What prep work is required before TyBOT can work on a project?

TyBOT travels on the edge form or screed rail supports typically installed for concrete finishing. In the event that neither are available, a portable rail system is available for purchase.

How much pre-programming of rebar dimensions is required for TyBOT?

None! TyBOT is designed to operate without any pre-programming required. It self-finds the reinforcing steel intersections, it self-locates the tie module over the intersection, and then it self-ties it.

How much rebar must be laid prior to TyBOT starting operations?

Ideally, you want to have enough rebar installed to allow TyBOT to run uninterrupted for at least one shift.

How long does it take to set up TyBOT?

Depending upon the width of the job, TyBOT can be operational within 2 hours of arrival on the job site.

How many people need to be on site for TyBOT to run?

TyBOT only requires one Robot Supervisor™ who monitors performance, reloads the tie wire spool when necessary, and ensures the robot follows and enhances your safety protocol. To upskill your team contact us.

Does the Robot Supervisor remotely operate TyBOT?

No. The Robot Supervisor™ does not remotely guide TyBOT to the correct locations. TyBOT performs this function itself. The Robot Supervisor supervises TyBOT and monitors its performance. The Robot Supervisor does have the ability to manually override the autonomous operation of TyBOT in special circumstances.

Can I train my own crew to use TyBOT?

Yes! On-the-job training for basic operations takes 3-5 days and is included with your per-tie price. Once your crew is trained, our team remains available for service and support 24/7.

How fast is TyBOT?

Running uninterrupted, TyBOT ties 1,200+ ties per hour.

Can TyBOT operate at night?

TyBOT can tie intersections day or night, rain or shine, to meet your scheduling needs.  

What kind of tie wire does TyBOT use?

16.5 AWG plastic coated or 16 AWG black annealed, poly-coated tie wire specifically designed to work with TyBOT is provided in 15 LB spools.

Can TyBOT tie alternating-intersection patterns as well as all-intersection patterns?

TyBOT is capable of tying alternating-intersection in 100%, 50%, and 33% patterns, meeting the majority of the specifications of project owners and state DOTs. For our full specifications, please refer to our Spec Sheet.

Is TyBOT available for service now?

We have a full fleet of TyBOTs available in the contiguous U.S. and Canada. Contact our sales department to place your order.

How does TyBOT see, think, and act?

TyBOT’s cameras see the work area and identify intersections with no programming or mapping required​. The tram then positions the Tie Module over the intersection to complete the tie​. Once the work area has been completed, TyBOT notifies its Robot Supervisor™ and moves forward to continue operations

Robotic Rebar
