HIREBOTICS FOR data center fabrication
Welding Automation for Data Center Fabrication
Data center construction is booming — but finding welders to keep up with the backlog isn’t. The Hirebotics Cobot Welder automates MIG and pulsed MIG welding on the racks, enclosures, structural frames, and modular assemblies your shop builds for data center projects. Program from a smartphone, start welding the same day, and scale output without adding headcount.

The Backlog Is Growing Faster Than Your Team
Data center construction timelines are compressing while orders are stacking up. Every hyperscaler, colo provider, and edge deployment needs fabricated steel — yesterday. Your shop is quoting work you can’t staff, pushing delivery dates further out, and watching competitors pick up contracts you should be winning.
You’re Welding the Same Parts Thousands of Times
Rack after rack, enclosure after enclosure, frame after frame. Data center fabrication is high-volume repetitive welding — the exact kind of work that burns out skilled welders and drives turnover. Your best people should be setting up jobs and handling complex assemblies, not running the same fillet weld on their 500th identical bracket.
Traditional Automation Doesn’t Flex with Your Mix
Conventional robotic cells are designed for one part, one program, thousands of reps. But data center fabrication isn’t one-size-fits-all — you’re running enclosures in three sizes, racks with varying mounting configurations, and custom structural frames across different customer specs. Reprogramming a traditional robot for each variant takes longer than welding it by hand.
How it works
How Cobot Welding Works for Data Center Fabrication
01
Program Your First Weld in Minutes
Open the Beacon app, touch the weld joints on your assembly, and set your parameters — wire speed, voltage, travel speed, weave pattern. The cobot handles MIG and pulsed MIG welding on carbon and stainless steel, from thin gauge enclosure panels to heavy structural frames.
No teach pendant, no G-code, no robotics degree. If your welder can read a print, they can run this.
02
Let the Cobot Run While Your Team Handles Setup
Once programmed, the cobot welds with robotic consistency — every seam, every bracket, every frame. Your welders shift from repetitive arc time to higher-value work: fitting, fixturing, quality checks, and managing the next batch.
Real-time weld monitoring through Beacon tracks every parameter, giving you a digital quality record for each assembly.
03
Save the Job, Recall It Instantly for the Next Run
Every weld program saves in Beacon. When the next order for the same rack, enclosure, or frame comes in, pull up the saved program and start welding — zero setup time. Switching between product variants? Recall a different saved program in seconds. That’s what makes cobot welding viable for data center fabrication — you get the consistency of automation with the flexibility to handle your full product mix.

What We Automate for Data Center Fabricators
Hirebotics cobots handle the repetitive processes that bottleneck data center fabrication — welding, cutting, and coating — all controlled from the Beacon app. No robot programmers. No teach pendants. One platform for your entire shop floor.
MIG Welding for Racks, Enclosures & Structural Frames
The Cobot Welder is built for the high-volume, repetitive welding that defines data center fabrication: server racks, electrical enclosures, cable trays, structural frames, and modular unit assemblies. It handles MIG and pulsed MIG on carbon and stainless steel with the consistency to hold tolerance across hundreds of identical parts. Program from the Beacon app, save the job, and recall it for every production run.
Powder Coat, Primer & Protective Finishes
Data center racks and enclosures ship finished. The Cobot Painter automates powder coat application, primers, and protective finishes with consistent coverage and minimal overspray. Roll it into a spray booth, coat your assemblies, and roll it back out — no permanent install required. Ideal for shops running high volumes of identical enclosures and racks that need uniform finish quality.
Plasma Cutting for Panels, Brackets & Mounting Hardware
Data center components start as cut parts. The Cobot Cutter delivers clean, repeatable plasma cuts on sheet and plate steel — panels, brackets, mounting tabs, gussets. Hand-guide the torch through a path once, and the system records and automates it for every part after. Shops report rework dropping from 25% to nearly zero. No CAD/CAM programming required.
Beacon App — Weld, Cut & Paint from Your Phone
Every Hirebotics cobot runs on the same Beacon platform. Your team learns one interface and applies it across welding, cutting, and painting. Real-time monitoring, saved job programs, and 24/7 in-app support come standard. Start with one cobot welder and expand as your data center backlog grows — no new software, no retraining.
