business challenge

The data center boom is outpacing the labor supply

Data center construction is up nearly 90% in the next six years — every rack, frame, and panel needs skilled welding.

But with a 330,000-welder shortfall projected by 2028, scaling with people alone is no longer possible

Automate like a welder. Scale like a manufacturer.

Our collaborative welding systems, powered by Beacon, give your welders the ability to teach, run, and manage automation in hours — not weeks.

Welder-led automation

Your welders program, inspect, and control. The cobot handles the precision. No robotics degree required.

Multipass, simplified

Convert to multipass in clicks, verify each pass, and manage heat input automatically

Through-arc seam tracking

Adaptive arc control keeps your bead perfect—even with fit-up variations

Beacon intelligence

Every weld tracked. Every parameter logged. Digital traceability built in.

Rapid deployment

Easily change from job to job. No integrators, no downtime.

Proven ROI

8–18 month payback. Trusted by leading fabricators nationwide.
