# Hirebotics > Hirebotics provides collaborative robot (cobot) welding, cutting, and painting automation solutions for metal fabrication shops. Our Beacon platform makes robotic welding accessible to any shop, regardless of size or experience, through easy-to-use software and flexible cobot hardware powered by Universal Robots. ## Company Overview Hirebotics is a welding automation company based in Nashville, TN that helps metal fabrication shops automate welding, plasma cutting, and painting processes using collaborative robots (cobots). Unlike traditional robotic welding systems that require specialized programmers and dedicated safety caging, Hirebotics cobots can be taught by existing welders with no programming experience. Our solutions serve shops ranging from small job shops doing low-volume high-mix work to large-scale production environments. ## Products and Solutions - [Cobot Welder](https://www.hirebotics.com/solutions/cobot-welder/): Robotic welding machines from Beacon, supporting MIG and TIG welding processes - [Cobot Cutter](https://www.hirebotics.com/solutions/cobot-cutter/): Robotic plasma cutters for automated cutting operations - [Beacon Platform](https://www.hirebotics.com/solutions/beacon-platform/): Our proprietary software platform that controls all Hirebotics cobots, providing an intuitive tablet-based interface for programming and monitoring - [Beacon Pro](https://www.hirebotics.com/solutions/beacon-platform/beacon-pro/): Advanced welding, cutting, and painting automation with expanded capabilities - [BeaconCare](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/beacon-care/): Our support and service program for ongoing cobot maintenance and assistance ## Capabilities - [MIG Welding](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/mig-welding/): Automated MIG welding solutions for a variety of materials and joint types - [TIG Welding](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/tig-welding/): Robotic TIG welding for precision applications - [Plasma Cutting](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/plasma-cutting/): Automated plasma cutting with Beacon-powered cobots - [Welding Automation](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/welding-automation/): Overview of our full welding automation capabilities - [High Volume Production](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/high-volume-production/): Solutions for high-throughput manufacturing environments - [Low Volume High Mix Production](https://www.hirebotics.com/capabilities/low-volume-high-mix-production/): Flexible automation for shops with varied part types and small batch sizes ## Key Pages - [How It Works](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/): Learn how Hirebotics cobots work and how to get started - [How to Teach a Robotic Welder](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/how-to-teach-a-robotic-welder/): Step-by-step guide to programming a cobot welder - [Pricing](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/pricing/): Flexible pricing options including Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) - [Case Studies](https://www.hirebotics.com/case-studies/): Real-world examples of Hirebotics cobots in action - [FAQs](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/faqs/): Frequently asked questions about cobot welding and the Beacon platform - [Technology Partners](https://www.hirebotics.com/how-it-works/technology-integration-partners/): Our technology partners and integrations including Universal Robots, Miller, Lincoln Electric, and ESAB - [About Us](https://www.hirebotics.com/about/): Our company story and mission - [Blog](https://blog.hirebotics.com/): Articles and insights on welding automation, cobots, and manufacturing ## Help and Documentation - [Beacon Platform Help Center](https://help.hirebotics.com/): Complete documentation for the Beacon platform - [Troubleshooting](https://help.hirebotics.com/en/collections/4605683-troubleshooting): Troubleshooting guides - [Tutorials](https://help.hirebotics.com/en/collections/4605694-tutorials): Step-by-step tutorials for using the Beacon platform ## Contact - Website: https://www.hirebotics.com - Solutions page: https://www.hirebotics.com/solutions/ Displaying /.
