Comau’s Hyperflex solution, installed at EDP’s Valladolid solar park, is a featured case study in the 2025 “World Robotics” publication by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This publication, known for its comprehensive statistics on industrial robot sales and distribution, highlights new business areas and customer segments for robotic solutions through real-world installations.
The case study details the application of Comau’s Hyperflex mobile robotic factory and MATE-XT wearable exoskeletons in automating the construction of a 3MW section within EDP’s 122MW solar park in Peñaflor, Valladolid, Spain. The project sought to revolutionize solar farm construction by enhancing installation speed, improving worker safety, and increasing overall operational efficiency.
Hyperflex functions as a temporary mobile factory that automates the manufacturing, transportation, and installation of solar components, thereby streamlining workflow and on-site logistics. It integrates Comau robotics, AI, and patented lifting equipment, enabling human operators to work safely alongside robots. MATE-XT exoskeletons offer ergonomic support to workers performing overhead and repetitive tasks, which reduces fatigue and improves precision.
“Hyperflex’s successful deployment at EDP’s Valladolid solar park signifies a leap forward in clean energy. This comprehensive solution sets a new standard for automated solar farm construction, achieving the feat with no incidents, zero defects, and improved efficiency. This milestone will refine the system, optimize processes, and enable broader deployment across Europe and worldwide”.
