Severnav S.A Shipyard, a modern and proficient shipbuilding company from Rumania invested in the first INROTECH solution three years ago.
Severnav is building new seagoing and inland ships of various kinds, while also offering standard repair programs for ships, damaged ship repairs, retrofitting and ship conversions. In order to respond and successfully meet the needs of their clients, Severnav has combined their strong experience with modern welding technology; after investing in the Inrotech-MicroTwin solution, the company has since achieved great results.
The Inrotech-MicroTwin replaced manual work, increases efficiency and quality.
The latest investment, Inrotech-MicroTwin, was delivered to Severnav in the end of 2019. The robot welding solution is a compact and light weight gantry with 2 welding robots, welding machines and a scanning system for identifying stiffeners on panels. It is specifically designed for the welding of micro panels, sub-assemblies and T-profiles in the shipbuilding industry but can also be used for other purposes.
According to Christian Miu, Director for Strategy & Development, the company has been very satisfied with the order- starting from the installation phase. “The inrotech-MicroTwin has been a real asset for us, you can see it day by day why it is adding value to our company”, says Christian.
One of the main advantages that Severnav was looking for by investing in Inrotech-MicroTwin, was replacing manual work. Implementing a robot solution into the production has therefore allowed Severnav to re-assign human talent to other in-house task.
