Manufacturing in Alaska

There are sev­er­al jobs that don’t trans­late to the frigid tem­per­a­tures of the Great White North – para­sail­ing coach, beach vol­ley­ball instruc­tor, swamp boat cap­tain – but some of the more tra­di­tion jobs like man­u­fac­tur­ing are going strong, even up in snowy Alas­ka. And what’s help­ing that man­u­fac­tur­ing along even more? That’s right – robot­ic automa­tion.

There are sev­er­al indus­tries in Alas­ka, but one impor­tant man­u­fac­tur­ing niche that sticks out is the tank fab­ri­ca­tion indus­try. Steel tanks are impor­tant all over the Unit­ed States to hold water, sewage, and nat­ur­al gas, among oth­er sub­stances. In our 49^th state, these tanks have to be able to hold up against dras­tic tem­per­a­tures, some that dip well below 0 degrees.

When steel fab­ri­ca­tion busi­ness­es, like Greer Tank and Weld­ing in Anchor­age and Fair­banks, AK, want to find the right weld­ing appa­ra­tus for a strong, high-qual­i­ty weld, they should turn to a robot­ic welder to suit their needs. By choos­ing a steel weld­ing robots for their appli­ca­tions, man­u­fac­tur­ers are able to weld faster and get bet­ter qual­i­ty prod­ucts out to cus­tomers sooner.

Greer Tank and Weld­ing also offers a water­jet ser­vice, which, once again, can be per­formed more effi­cient­ly by robots. When man­u­fac­tur­ers invest in a robot­ic water­jet sys­tem, they are choos­ing a sys­tem that will use less water and recy­cle the water it does use so that it can be used again dur­ing the appli­ca­tion. This makes the robot­ic water­jet sys­tem not only more afford­able, but also more envi­ron­men­tal­ly friendly.
