Abstract: Marking metadata during layout can be time intensive. A robotic device is used to mark out points at a construction site, and an augmented-reality device uses the points for alignment and provides metadata about the points to a user of the augmented-reality device as the user looks at the points.

Abstract: A central map can be used in a construction environment to help position devices and receive updates from devices to update the central map. Devices in the construction environment, such augmented-reality devices, laser scanners, total stations, satellite navigation receivers, and others can be used to provide “crowd-sourced” data to update the central map as the construction environment changes.

Abstract: A system for determining a thickness of a photovoltaic module may include a first displacement sensor and a second displacement sensor along a shared axis. The system may also include a support structure that supports the first and second displacement sensors and locates the sensors on either side of the photovoltaic module.

Abstract: A system for determining load capacity for a photovoltaic module includes a clip to position a photovoltaic module surface at a load test position and a load test device proximate to the clip, including a pressure applicator and an actuator, wherein the actuator is capable of moving the pressure applicator toward the load test position.

Abstract: A vacuum cell device for holding work pieces on a work table, and a system comprising a plurality of the vacuum cells as needed to hold a particular workpiece, is disclosed wherein the individual vacuum cells comprises a pair of vacuum units connected together by an adjustment mechanism which allows the axial spacing of the vacuum units to be adjusted to fix the cell in a desired cell height. A first vacuum unit includes a workpiece interface surrounding an open top vacuum chamber, and the second vacuum unit comprises a work surface interface surrounding an open top vacuum chamber. A sealing element is carried about the periphery of each interface to seal against the workpiece and work surface.
