Engineered Protection for Evolving Operations
Project Overview:
When Starland Metals set out to strengthen its welding operations with a new robotic investment, safety and performance had to work hand in hand. To support this initiative, Cloos partnered with WireCrafters to provide a hard-guarding solution that protects operators while maximizing productivity. The result was a secure, efficient robotic welding cell that improved throughput and weld consistency while reinforcing a strong commitment to workplace safety.
Customer Description
Starland Metals was looking for a dependable way to boost throughput, improve weld consistency, and reduce pressure on skilled labor without taking on the overhead of a large automation investment. As production demands increased, it became clear that integrating a robotic welding cell would help stabilize output and support long-term growth. However, introducing automation also required a strong focus on operator safety. Hard guarding was essential to protect team members working near the new equipment while maintaining clear visibility and controlled access. Through its partnership with Cloos, Starland Metals sought a solution that would support this new investment by enhancing safety, improving workflow, and creating a secure, efficient welding environment.
