Robots cut costs, boost precision, and solve labor gaps in complex production lines.

Manufacturing is experiencing a revolution in 2025, as intelligent robots are now the masters of the factory floor. It's no longer a question of whether or not to automate but a question of how. Truck through heavy equipment, manufacturers are dealing with issues of increasing costs, multi-part parts, and skilled labor shortages. That's where robotics, most notably welding, is stepping in to give tough solutions.

Path Robotics leads the way with a sophisticated welding system that acts more like a human welder than a traditional robot. In contrast to the older robots, which require hours of setup and programming, Path's system focuses on the finished product. The robot teaches itself the path through experience by utilizing intelligent vision and years of real-world welding data. It makes highly accurate welds with a 99% first-time success rate.

For simplicity in using this technology for business, Path offers a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) solution. No massive up-front investment—just a subscription plan per month that covers everything from maintenance to updates. Most installations are operational within 100 days or less.

Path Robotics also works with ALM Positioners to handle large and irregularly shaped parts. Their combined solution helped TYCROP, a Canadian manufacturer, improve production and complete customer orders faster.

Aside from welding, Path is developing robots that can pick and assemble parts, which can open up additional areas of manufacturing to automation.

In 2025, when factories are being called upon to do more with less, robotics is emerging as a smart, flexible, and powerful ally.
