Imagine a world where industrial accidents are almost non-existent, where robots, drones and AI-powered technologies work together to create the safest possible work environments.

Emerging technologies within robots and AI can improve safety by taking on jobs that are more dangerous for humans.

Attempting to mitigate human error can negatively impact manufacturing efficiency, and inefficiencies can be almost as expensive and frustrating as the human errors themselves.

As more injuries happen, more welders will be out of commission — and fewer young adults will be interested in entering the field.  

The increasing reliance on technologies — from AI, IoT, augmented reality and robotics — in manufacturing means more companies need to update their training programs.
