Skilled labor shortage in welding: What to do? 🔧
The shortage of qualified welding professionals poses significant challenges for the industry. Welders are indispensable in many sectors. However, fewer and fewer people are choosing this profession. The reasons and causes are diverse:
👴 Demographic change: The aging population and the retirement of experienced welders from the labor market lead to a noticeable decline in skilled workers
🥵 Unattractiveness of the job profile: Many young people prefer careers that are considered more modern and less physically demanding.
👨🏭 Lack of training opportunities: In some regions, there are limited training options, resulting in fewer new recruits.
How automation brings the solution …
Automation offers a promising answer to the skilled labor shortage. Welding robots increase efficiency, improve quality, and create a more attractive work environment.
🔧 Increased efficiency: Robots work around the clock, accelerating production and reducing bottlenecks.
🔧 Quality improvement: Sensors and intelligent systems ensure consistently high welding quality.
🔧 Enhanced workplace attractiveness: Human and machine work hand in hand, reducing physical strain. Young people, in particular, appreciate working with modern robotic systems, which also promote a modern company image.
