Building big in Lafayette Indiana

Like many mem­bers of the Rust Belt, Indi­ana com­mu­ni­ties have had man­u­fac­tur­ing come and go over the years. The same could be said for Lafayette, Indi­ana. These com­pa­nies are keep­ing a foothold due to high qual­i­ty prod­ucts, many build with the help of robot­ic automa­tion.

Things are built big in Lafayette, espe­cial­ly at the Wabash Nation­al Cor­po­ra­tion. Wabash builds trail­ers for semis and rail­way cars for trains, along with sev­er­al oth­er prod­ucts. These larg­er prod­ucts need major weld­ing and fab­ri­ca­tion time. When com­pa­nies run up against heavy or large object weld­ing, robot­ics can play a key role in mak­ing sure the prod­ucts are fin­ished quick­ly and accu­rate­ly. A robot weld­ing sys­tem can per­form the weld­ing job of four man­u­al welders, with more accu­ra­cy and less time. These robots can only increase the qual­i­ty of these trail­ers and oth­er structures.

Anoth­er large prod­uct man­u­fac­tur­er in Indi­ana, Cater­pil­lar, which is based in Lafayette, pro­duces sev­er­al large machin­ery prod­ucts like artic­u­lat­ed trucks, asphalt pavers, back­hoe load­ers, etc. Many of these prod­ucts are used in the con­struc­tion, trans­porta­tion and agri­cul­tur­al indus­tries. Once again, when it comes to man­u­fac­tur­ing this kind of equip­ment, robots can be help­ful. Robot mate­r­i­al han­dlers can put togeth­er small­er inter­nal com­po­nents with finesse, while cut­ting robots can cut out the nec­es­sary parts to fab­ri­cate the machine, as well as using the robot­ic welder for stronger welds. All in all, com­pa­nies that fab­ri­cate bring machin­ery, like Catepil­lar, could use robots to improve their productivity.
