Summary
Mass produced smart homes, developed with Siemens’ Digital Twin technology, will help solve the affordable housing crisis.

Sept. 22, 2025 – Siemens announced that ADMARES, a leader in industrialized housing, is using the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform to apply Siemens’ most comprehensive digital twin, advanced manufacturing and automation technology to design, build and operate sustainable and affordable housing.
Founded in 2016, ADMARES is a technology company applying advanced manufacturing techniques to the construction industry to build affordable, smart, connected and sustainable homes. Using highly flexible and modularized design combined with a clean sheet, digital first, automated greenfield smart factory ADMARES is aiming to eliminate up to 75% of the CO₂ emissions associated with residential construction by generating 80% less material waste and producing at speeds that will revolutionize how the global housing crisis is solved by advancing the traditionally conservative construction industry.
“Siemens’ technology has enabled us to make affordable homes a product, rather than a process reliant on construction labor - of which there is a global shortage,” said Mikael Hedberg, CEO, ADMARES. “When homes become productized, industrialized and digitalized, we’re able to fully automate the manufacturing process and deliver homes the world so desperately needs at the affordable cost, scale and speed it needs.”
“The work that ADMARES is doing is a compelling example of how Siemens technology enables entirely new business models to emerge. Building on the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, ADMARES has transformed housing from a traditional construction process into a scalable, digitalized product,” said Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability, Siemens Digital Industries. “Our digital twin, automation and manufacturing technologies have empowered them to industrialize homebuilding–cutting emissions, reducing waste and accelerating delivery. This is the kind of industry reinvention Siemens Xcelerator was designed to make possible.”
At the core of its development is the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software. ADMARES has used Siemens’ Designcenter, Teamcenter and Simcenter software to design, validate and prove out its modularized housing designs. They create a comprehensive Digital Twin that accurately represents not only the final productized smart home but contains vital data about the manufacturing process that is used to develop and optimize its smart factory. This factory, powered by Siemens’ Opcenter manufacturing execution software and automation hardware, will achieve a takt time of 22.5 minutes per building unit, allowing the production of complete 1,400 ft² home in 45 minutes, delivered with building software for real-time monitoring of energy, water and air quality, making them fully connected smart homes.
