Today, competition for skilled workers is fierce. Simply put, welding is becoming a lost art; members of the younger generation are seeking higher technology jobs over manual labor. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal chronicled the plight of small fabrication shop owners trying to find people willing to weld. Furthermore, the American Welding Society recently published a report stating that by 2010 the United States will witness a welder shortfall in excess of 200,000. Companies large and small are turning to robotic automation solutions. Although the prospect of automating can be unnerving, it will be the best investment your company can make.
