Movable Factories for Renovation: A Comprehensive Industrial Perspective from Systematic and Systemic Literature Analysis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Scaling up energy renovations in construction requires industrialization to address economic, environmental, and social challenges. Movable factories, such as Modern Flying Factories (MFF) and Factory-in-a-Box (FiaB), offer innovative solutions for massification. This study combines insights from a systematic literature review (SLR) with a novel analytical framework, developed through expert workshops, to evaluate these concepts across lifecycle stages and performance dimensions. This research provides actionable insights to align movable factories with sustainability and industrial scalability goals.
