While the advantages of automation are apparent across a wide range of industries and applications, its contribution to manufacturing has fundamentally changed the way things are produced. Not only has automation increased production speed, but it has also improved quality while lowering costs. Recent advances in IoT and cobots have…
Among recent technological advances, the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining wide popularity across industries. The integration of smart devices that create smart factories has changed the way conventional industrial processes are performed. Welding technologies are also evolving to adapt to IoT. With smart welding systems, industries are looking forward…
When comparing welding methods for pipe and tubing, it’s clear that orbital TIG welding offers quantifiable advantages over manual welding, particularly for repetitive, high-volume welding applications or in situations where access to the pipe or tube is obstructed. For these applications, orbital welding methods deliver consistent weld quality and accomplish…
One of the few constants in this world is the deadline. Whether a project is in manufacturing, construction, or facilities maintenance, it will have a date by which it must be completed. One major factor in whether or not a project is completed on time is the deployment of skilled…
Welders, shop supervisors, and even accountants all have an interest in deciding how to calculate welding productivity and its impact on profitability. While calculating productivity can be a tricky exercise, welding shops with high-volume tube and pipe welding processes or similar types of repetitive repairs have the benefit of generating…
