Robots have already become reliable and indispensable partners in pipe manufacturing, impressing companies with their precision in welding, bending, cutting and coating. In doing so, they provide consistent support for their human colleagues. This is a partnership that never rusts – quite the opposite, in fact, as thanks to new technical developments, this partnership is gaining even more momentum.
Artificial intelligence is giving robotics a powerful boost, making robots more versatile than ever. They collect data on the shop floor, exchange it with IT systems and adapt to changing conditions. The result: even greater efficiency. And that makes the use of robots a real game-changer for the industry.
Boosting productivity and safety
The benefits are clear: robots enhance both productivity and production safety in pipe manufacturing – even when dealing with complex geometries or challenging positions. These are compelling reasons why demand keeps growing year after year.
But the robot industry is anything but complacent. It is constantly opening up new perspectives. Researchers are already developing humanoids based on human biomechanics. That may still be a vision for the future, but the essential role of robots in pipe manufacturing is already a reality.
