Welding plays a critical role in producing appliances, automobiles, construction equipment, ships, tractors, trailers, trucks and many other products. Unfortunately, there’s a severe shortage of welders, and the demand for skilled welding professionals is growing.
According to the American Welding Society, the U.S. will need more than 360,000 welders by 2027 to meet surging demand due to factors such as an aging workforce. Semiautomatic welding cells are one way to address that shortage.
