To overcome the welder shortage in large-scale steel constructing, the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC) has developed a groundbreaking innovation-the Compact and High-Performance Welding Cobot (CHPW), which has received the prestigious Silver Edison Award. This advanced robotic system acts like a welder's "intelligent eyes," equipped with real-time 3D laser scanning and AI-powered weld defect recognition to accurately capture and analyze the weld seam morphology. This enhance welding quality and bring digital transform large-scale welding industry, significantly reducing waste for rework time and labor cost, in advance to minimize human intervention.
