Welding mechanization
What?
More efficient usage of existing/new equipment
Why?
Equipment is not used optimally, new welders are expensive. Previous knowledge was scarce, equipment was bought and left
How?
Initial testing, process mapping, value stream analysis, process optimization, testing, process development, special case investigation, new procedure suggestion, new standard implementation, additional process investigation and problem solution
Lessons learned
Never send a welder to do a job that optimized mechanized welding can do
