Based on recent estimates by the American Welding Society, the demand for welding professionals is huge due to current unfilled positions, industry growth, and anticipated attrition. The organization even projects that the welding shortage will attain a deficit of over 300,000 welders by 2024. The average age of a welder is 55—with less than 20% under the age of 35.

What’s more: with more welders are either transferring to different occupations or retiring altogether. And with fewer young people entering the welding trade, the welding shortage shows no signs of abating.

Thanks to the emergence of Industry 4.0 technologies, robots began to show manufacturers the many benefits of welding automation—benefits that far surpassed “just” tackling a shortage of qualified welders.

Here are the top benefits of automated welding:

Improved weld integrity and repeatability
Better overall product quality and adherence to standards
Ability to weld new materials
Increased production capacity and flexibility
Reduced human error and operational costs
Safer work conditions
Decreased labor costs

Cobot Welder features the industry’s only app-based cobot, explicitly designed for welders. All a welding team has to do is download an app to a phone or tablet through an ultra-intuitive interface. The app guides welders through each step of “configuring” the robot to weld parts.

Think torch angles and weld settings. Zero programming is necessary. Welders continue to leverage their expertise and experience—without struggling with trying to learn code
