Case Study: Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems achieves higher productivity and better weld quality with Novarc's Spool Welding Robot

Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Ltd. is an innovative mechanical contractor

Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Ltd., an innovative mechanical contractor, was facing a significant shortage of skilled welders and needed to improve quality to meet stringent ASME code requirements for complex projects. To overcome these challenges and invest in new technology, the customer partnered with Novarc Technologies Inc. and implemented their Spool Welding Robot (SWR).

Novarc's SWR solution enabled the customer to drastically increase shop productivity by over 60% and improve weld quality, reducing the repair rate to less than 1%. The measurable results included the ability to win more projects and combat the skilled labor shortage by allowing a B-level welder to operate the machine. The customer was so impressed with the results that they purchased a second Novarc SWR unit.
