How far we pushed the technology, where it stopped, and why we judged it the way we did.
We do not sell robots. We deliver welded volume
A company that sells equipment stops earning the moment it is sold. You cannot expect uptime from a company with no stake in it. Here is why we reversed the contract, and on what terms.

Seventy per cent earns applause in a demo. On a floor it is three defects and three reworks in every ten. Why we went for mastery of one task before generality.
Robots already do the easy welds. What is left is free-form
That welding is already automated is only half true. Anything geometry can define was solved forty years ago. What remains cannot be written as a rule.
The MES a shipyard never had
Land factories made their leap with MES. Shipyards did not, and not for want of technology. There is nowhere to put a barcode. So we read the space instead.
