Tate Achieves 12-Fold Welding Productivity Increase with 58 Hirebotics Cobots

Hirebotics has announced that Tate, a data center infrastructure company, has successfully deployed 58 Cobot Welder systems across its manufacturing facilities in Arkansas, Virginia, and Kentucky. This deployment has resulted in a remarkable 12-fold increase in per-welder throughput for critical structural assemblies while allowing Tate to expand its team of certified welders.

The significance of this achievement lies in Tate's ability to meet the intense demand and tight project timelines associated with its 120-year legacy in providing structural ceilings and airflow management products for large data centers. By transitioning to a cloud-connected automation network powered by Hirebotics' Beacon Pro control platform, Tate has scaled production without compromising precision, ensuring zero tolerance for manufacturing errors.

Looking ahead, the integration of Hirebotics' technology allows Tate to manage its multi-plant network of Cobot Welders from a single smart device, enhancing operational efficiency. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

The deployment of collaborative robots in manufacturing is reshaping productivity standards, particularly in sectors like data center infrastructure. As companies like Tate adopt advanced automation technologies, the competitive landscape is likely to shift, emphasizing the importance of precision and efficiency in meeting customer demands.
