Modular and serial construction just took a giant leap forward. ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division and Wieland Electric have joined forces to introduce a groundbreaking prefabricated electrical installation system that revolutionizes efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability in the industry.

 

By integrating ABB’s advanced energy distribution systems, smart home solutions, and wiring accessories with Wieland’s cutting-edge PREFAB® pluggable electrical installation technology, this partnership is set to transform construction practices. This plug-and-play solution is designed to streamline electrical installations, reducing onsite installation time by up to 70% and lowering costs by approximately 30%.*

 

Recognizing this shift, ABB’s integration of Lumin’s hardware and cloud-based software—including an intuitive mobile app—provides homeowners with unprecedented control over their energy usage. This move aligns with ABB’s broader strategy of enabling safer, smarter, and more sustainable energy solutions in homes across North America.

Efficiency, Cost Savings, and Sustainability

The innovative system leverages digital planning tools for precise configuration and just-in-time delivery, minimizing waste and reducing the dependency on specialized labor. Highly standardized projects such as multi-apartment buildings and hotels will benefit most, but the solution also enhances efficiency in single-unit prefabricated homes and customized projects.

 

This collaboration represents a major milestone in modular construction,” said Sven Werdes, Global Product Line Manager at ABB Electrification. “By integrating prefabricated, automated solutions, we enable the construction industry to be more productive, efficient, and sustainable. Reduced labor re-quirements, minimized waste, and accelerated project timelines all contribute to significant cost and time savings while benefiting the environment.”

Peter Kauf, Head of PREFAB at Wieland Electric, added, “Our partnership with ABB is set to redefine the standards of efficiency, quality, and flexibility in construction. By merging our expertise, we are taking modular and serial construction into a new era.”

Wieland Electric, established in 1910, is a leader in innovative electrical connection systems and the global market leader in pluggable building installations. With a strong presence in over 70 countries, Wieland specializes in modular construction solutions that optimize electrical wiring for faster, safer, and more efficient installation.
