Andy's latest customer testimonial: Shand Engineering.
This case study details how Shand Engineering Ltd, a UK-based Small to Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) specialising in marine hose end fittings for the demanding Oil & Gas industry, addressed a critical challenge in maintaining absolute quality and consistency in their welding processes. Faced with the need for zero-defect components and stringent traceability standards that proved difficult to maintain solely through manual labor, the company partnered with us to integrate a Collaborative Robot (Cobot) welding solution as well as Qlixbi gas cylinders. The introduction of the cobot not only delivered repeatable weld accuracy that surpassed human capabilities and dramatically increased production throughput but also successfully transitioned and upskilled the existing workforce, resulting in zero job losses.
