Cobotic Welding for Leaders (Half-Day Course) – Nov 2026

Half-day course for manufacturing leaders exploring cobotic welding. Hands-on demos, ROI discussion, and guidance from interest to adoption.

 

Overview
This half-day course is designed for manufacturing leaders who need to make informed, business-driven decisions about cobotic welding adoption. Rather than focusing on programming or operator-level training, the session provides a structured, practical overview of how cobotic welding can fit into your operation, what problems it can solve, and when it does not make sense.

Participants will engage directly with cobotic welding systems, discuss real-world cost and ROI considerations, and gain clarity on how to move from interest to a disciplined adoption plan.

What You’ll Learn and Experience

  • Hands-on interaction with cobotic welding systems in a live training environment
  • Practical discussion of benefits, limitations, costs, and ROI drivers
  • Operational considerations including workforce impact, throughput, and quality
  • Common pitfalls and misconceptions around cobotic welding adoption
  • Guidance on moving from initial interest to evaluation, piloting, and implementation

Who Should Attend
This course is intended for:

  • Owners, executives, and senior leaders
  • Operations and manufacturing managers
  • Engineering and production decision-makers
  • Anyone responsible for capital investment or technology strategy

No prior robotics or welding automation experience is required.

Program Context
This course is offered as part of the HAMMER Program (Hampton Roads Advanced Manufacturing Modernization with Emerging Robotics) and is delivered at the Cobotic Alliance Center—providing manufacturers with low-risk exposure, education, and guidance around collaborative robotic welding.

Cost

  • $250 per seat (grant-subsidized)
  • $1,000 standard cost

Seats are limited to ensure meaningful interaction with equipment and instructors.
