Cobots for Multiple Manufacturing Processes



At FABTECH 2025, Hirebotics will demonstrate how its expanded cobot portfolio capabilities, which include welding, cutting and forthcoming solutions, can address multiple manufacturing processes for small-to-medium fabrication shops and mid-to-large manufacturing operations.

"We are seeing manufacturers increasingly demand comprehensive automation solutions rather than point solutions," explained Rob Goldiez, CEO of Hirebotics. "Our goal is to become the one-stop shop for fab shops and contract manufacturers who need flexible, easy-to-deploy automation across multiple processes."

Manufacturing demands are evolving, with fabricators increasingly handling larger, more complex parts that challenge traditional automation set-ups. Hirebotics is addressing this trend with expanded reach capabilities that eliminate the need for multiple set-ups while maintaining intuitive programming.

The company's partnership with Universal Robots continues to drive innovation, with new cobot configurations that extend work envelopes without sacrificing the collaborative safety features that make cobots attractive for small- and medium-sized manufacturers. These developments are intended to unlock automation opportunities for parts and applications previously considered unsuitable for cobots.

Central to Hirebotics' success has been its focus on software-driven solutions that democratize robotics programming. The Beacon platform continues to evolve with features that make automation accessible to operators without robotics backgrounds.

Recent software enhancements include advanced multipass welding capabilities for thicker materials, offering advanced control with its intuitive programming. The platform also supports complex welding processes like Regulated Metal Deposition (RMD) welding, which is suited for open-root pipe welding and thin material fabrication.

Additional innovations include sophisticated operator role management, allowing organizations to customize access and capabilities across different team members. The company's enhanced stitch welding capability transforms any weld path into customizable segments, providing greater control over complex welding operations.

The company's try-before-you-buy program allows manufacturers to test cobot solutions in their own facilities before making purchase commitments. Combined with flexible financing options, this approach has opened automation opportunities for manufacturers of all sizes exploring robotics for the first time. Hirebotics also offers virtual demonstrations and invites potential customers to its Nashville, TN, facility to test cobots on their actual parts.
