Case Study: Trident Process Systems boosts welding productivity with Novarc Technologies’ Spool Welding Robot

Trident Process Systems in Gainesville, Texas is a leading provider of fabrication services

Trident Process Systems, a fabrication services provider for the energy industry, faced a significant challenge in finding qualified welders following the Covid-19 pandemic, creating a bottleneck in their operations. To bridge this staffing gap and enhance efficiency, the company sought a new solution and turned to Novarc Technologies Inc., implementing their Spool Welding Robot (SWR) cobot.

The SWR from Novarc provided an automated solution that required no programming and delivered high-quality welds. The results for Trident were substantial, including a 10-20% reduction in labor costs, a productivity increase of 200-250 extra diameter inches per shift, and a 0% reject rate on all welds performed by the machine. This implementation effectively expanded their pipe welding workforce capacity by 1.5 times, directly addressing the skilled labor shortage.
