Kyle Drummer – Lincoln Electric Automation
The Where, Who, and What of Implementing an Effective Welding Automation Cell, and How to Measure Its Success
Global supply chain issues, labor shortages and rapidly advancing technology accelerate the need for welding automation. Wind energy is quickly into a manufacturing sector of its own, and ocean and air transportation struggle to keep up with demand, the need for welders to embrace automation grows. The speaker will discuss the three most important factors for successfully implementing welding automation – infrastructure, workforce, and technology. Future-proofing a large investment in automation boils down to taking both facility and cell into account; upskilling the current workforce; and implementing flexible, scalable technology. When these factors are balanced correctly, welding automation improves productivity, part quality, and ROI. Attendees will learn: How to add automation to their current footprint. How to future-proof their investment by upskilling their current workforce. How to measure the success of the installation using productivity, part quality and ROI metrics.
