Meet Tyler.
The World's First Robotic Tile-Setter.
A live demonstration hosted by a family that's been in the tile business for over 25 years. Come see it work.
Live at Tile Works — April 6
It Started in Egypt
The ancient Egyptians invented decorative tile work. Glazed tiles adorned palaces and tombs. The technique? Get on your knees. Place tile. Repeat.
Revolutionary for its time.
Rome Perfected the Mosaic
The Romans took tile work to new heights. Intricate mosaics. Heated floors. Bathhouses across an empire.
The installation method? Still on your knees.
Cathedrals Rose to the Sky
Medieval craftsmen created stunning tile floors for churches and castles across Europe. Gothic architecture changed everything.
Well, almost everything. Tile installation? Same position.
We Put a Computer in Your Pocket
Self-driving cars. AI that writes poetry. Robots on Mars. And tile installation?
Still. On. Your. Knees.
So we built a robot to help your crew do more.
And Tile Works wants to show it to you.
Meet Tyler
Tyler is an autonomous tile-setting robot engineered for commercial floors. It works alongside your crew — handling layout, placement, and alignment so your team can move faster and take on more.
- 3xMore floor covered per shift — take on bigger projects
- ±1mmPrecision alignment on every tile, every shift
- 24/7Consistent throughput so your crew can focus on what needs a skilled hand
This is not a concept. This is a working robot that lays real tiles on real floors.
Why Tile Works
Tile Works by Rich and Sons is a family-owned tile installer, supplier, and contractor with over 25 years in the business. They know every side of this trade — from supply to installation — across NJ, NY, CT, and Eastern PA.
When they saw our tile-setting robot, they didn't hesitate. They invited us to demonstrate it for their network of contractors — because they know the labor challenges firsthand and recognize what this technology means for the industry.
25 years of tile expertise meets the future of tile installation.
Why This Matters for Your Business
The construction labor crisis isn't coming — it's here.
500K+
Jobs going unfilled
Good help is hard to find — and it's getting harder. The guys who know the trade are aging out, and not enough new ones are coming up behind them.
40%
Of every job is labor cost
You already know labor is your biggest expense. What if your crew could cover more ground without you needing to find more hands?
83%
Of contractors turning down work
You've said no to jobs you wanted because you couldn't staff them. Tyler helps your crew take on more so you stop leaving money on the table.
