KEWAZO automates and digitizes on-site material handling with robotics and data analytics for construction and industrial maintenance. Its listed offices are KEWAZO GmbH in Garching, Germany, and KEWAZO Inc. in Houston, Texas.

The LIFTBOT is a battery-powered, remote-controlled lifting robot that moves materials on scaffolds, replacing manual carrying or cranes. KEWAZO ONSITE is a data analytics platform giving live operational data, and KEWAZO CARE bundles training, annual maintenance and a hotline. Customers include scaffolding contractors such as Altrad and BrandSafway, and plants such as BASF Ludwigshafen.

• LIFTBOT: battery-powered, remote-controlled lifting robot for materials.
• KEWAZO ONSITE: analytics platform with live operational data.
• KEWAZO CARE: training, annual maintenance, emergency support and hotline.
• Scaffold workflow: robotic material transport on complex scaffolds, such as a 72 m scaffold in June 2026.
• Industrial focus: turnarounds, maintenance and capital projects.

Scaffold material handling during refinery and petrochemical shutdowns. High-rise facade and construction sites replacing crane lifts. Power plant maintenance projects.

Case studies on the site cite 22% schedule saved by replacing cranes on a capital project. A maintenance program cut hazardous hours by one-third. One turnaround reported $988,240 in savings over three months. Live data supports planning of site activities.

Scaffolding and heavy-industry maintenance face labor shortages and safety pressure. Robotic material handling lowers hazardous manual hours. Vietnam's petrochemical, power and industrial plants run shutdown projects with similar needs.
