Low-volume, high-mix
Flexible automation for custom parts, short runs, and fast changeovers
In high-mix environments every job is different, and traditional automation can't keep up. Your team welds custom parts, one-offs, and small batches without reprogramming from scratch.
HIGH-MIX FABRICATIONWhy it works
What your shop gains
Changeovers in minutes
Move from job to job quickly with intuitive part setup in Beacon's visual, app-based interface.
No programming experience
Your team teaches weld paths in real time: no G-code, no teach pendant, no outside integrators.
Operators own the process
Beacon is designed for the people on your floor. Welders adjust on the fly and stay productive.
One cobot, many jobs
Tackle dozens of part types, sizes, and customer needs with a single system.
Why it fits
When every part is different, simplicity wins
Low-volume, high-mix production demands flexibility, speed, and simplicity. With Beacon, your team sets up, runs, and repeats complex jobs in minutes, with no robot programmers and no complicated software. It's bridge automation for shops growing beyond manual welding: job shops with rapid part turnover, custom fabrication for architectural and structural projects, and prototype-to-production workflows.
- Constant part changes and quick turnarounds
- Frequent fixture swaps and job rotations
- Shops with minimal programming resources
- Shops adding capacity around the welders they already have
Start with one cobot
The proven path for growing shops: prove it on your parts, run it on real orders, and add capacity when the numbers say so.

“If you're building more than 100 of the same part, use a cobot. You'll reduce errors and increase throughput. It's that simple.”
