In welding, a common concern often arises when the topic is robotics – the fear of job displacement. Yet, as history has consistently shown, the introduction of automation technologies like the CoWelder doesn't result in job losses but rather in more opportunities. Michael Andersen, welding expert at Migatronic, explains: "[with the collaborative welding] you can get more items done throughout the day, so that means you are getting busier. So you have to hire new people."
Counting on collaborative robots' support proves particularly useful when working with large quantities of identical, uncomplicated welds.
