Beyond the Spark: The Business Case for Robotic Welding in Naval Shipbuilding
This webinar will explore the comprehensive business case for adopting robotic welding in naval shipbuilding, moving beyond simple labor savings to evaluate the full spectrum of benefits. The discussion will cover how automation can deliver a powerful return on investment by increasing throughput, improving weld quality, reducing material waste, and enhancing worker safety. It will also address how to overcome key financial and regulatory barriers to build a compelling justification for investment, positioning robotic welding as a strategic necessity for a resilient and competitive industrial base, and feature a research presentation of findings and recommendations from ETI’s recently published report, “Enhancing Naval Shipbuilding Efficiency and Quality through Robotic Welding Adoption.
