how come welding is so tough to automate (how come there’s lots of welders, but factory work was automated)
In: Engineering
They have robotic welders. But the part that’s hard to automate is that a lot of welding jobs have unique circumstances and aren’t repeated. So taking time to setup and reprogram a robot for a one time job is more costly and time consuming than using a human laborer (for now).
Robotic welders are best for jobs where you have to weld the same thing the same way dozens/hundreds/thousands of times.
