Get smart on it
A manufacturing company has deployed 58 robotic welding systems across its facilities to automate production previously done by hand. The company needed to increase output while maintaining precision, as it faces high demand for data center infrastructure with strict quality requirements and tight timelines. The robotic systems use cloud-based software that allows operators to program and monitor welding from mobile devices, and training staff to use the robots typically takes only 10 to 20 minutes. Since implementing the automation, the company has reported a 12-fold increase in production output per welder and eliminated quality problems caused by variations between manual welders.
