Shipbuilding — BetrueTech Intelligent Welding Solution

01 Industry Challenges

The shipbuilding industry faces many challenges, such as Excess Orders, Insufficient Capacities, Under-Automated:

Low Production Efficiency

•        Inconsistent welding performance — quality affected by environmental conditions.

•        Inefficient for small batches & multiple variants — manual robot teaching slows production.

Skilled Welder Shortage

•        High dependence on experienced welders — recruitment is challenging.

•        Rising labor costs & workforce gap

Inconsistent Quality & Procedure

•        Fluctuating yield & high rework rate — quality compliance is unstable.

•        Difficult thermal deformation control — workpiece accuracy suffers.

•        Limited adaptability of welding procedures.

To solve those challenges, we present BetrueTech Intelligent Welding Solution:

•        Single-machine welding length: 15-20 m per hour

•        Arc-on Time Ratio 75%

•        DNV Certification: Single-pass fillet welds 6-8 mm

•        Automatic Drawing Generation

•        Welding Types Covered: horizontal/vertical fillet welding, wrap welding, and arc welding.

•        Covers flat fillet welds, vertical fillet welds, wrap-around fillet welds, and curved welds.

•        Applicable welding stages include pre-fabrication, flat panel assembly, and complex sub-assembly.

•        Multi-Machine Task Allocation

Advantages of BetrueTech Intelligent Welding Solution( Data from a deployed project, for reference only.):

•        Capacity Boost: Monthly production per unit area nearly doubles.

•        Efficiency Gains: Robot achieves 75% arc-on time; welding time for the same workpiece reduced from 8 hours (manual) to 4 hours, doubling human-machine efficiency.

•        Labor Optimization: Skilled welder recruitment replaced by operator recruitment; labor cost reduced from 8 welders to 1 operator, significantly cutting expenses.

•        Quality Leap: Grinding volume reduced by 50% – 75%.
