Marine Equipment in Wellsburg, WV

While much of West Vir­ginia is made up of min­ing oper­a­tions, the north­ern region of the state does have a rich his­to­ry in man­u­fac­tur­ing as the south­ern part of the Rust Belt. In the last 50 years, the region has lost more than 50 per­cent of its man­u­fac­tur­ing oper­a­tions. Some areas in West Vir­ginia were only left with ¹⁄₅ of their orig­i­nal man­u­fac­tur­ing jobs. Towns like Wells­burg, WV, were left with only a few man­u­fac­tur­ing options for those in that field.

One of the man­u­fac­tur­ers still alive and well in Wells­burg, West Vir­ginia, is Mer­co Marine, a com­pa­ny that spe­cial­izes in the man­u­fac­tur­ing, dis­tri­b­u­tion and sup­ply­ing of boat dock com­po­nents and acces­sories. Like many oth­er man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­nies that make marine prod­ucts, Mer­co can improve their pro­duc­tion line process­es with the help of inte­grat­ed robot­ic automation.

Part of the pro­duc­tion of float­ing boat deck prod­ucts is the mold­ing and cut­ting of fiber­glass mate­ri­als. Robots can per­form these process­es with ease. Robots can tend fiber­glass mold­ing machines, load­ing and unload­ing prod­ucts, as well as cut­ting dif­fer­ent designs or pat­terns into the fiber­glass work pieces. Robots also raise the safe­ty lev­el in a shop by keep­ing work­ers away from the fiber­glass cut­ting process, which can release fiber­glass par­ti­cles into the air. These par­ti­cles can be harm­ful to the skin, eyes and res­pi­ra­to­ry sys­tem. Robot­ic fiber­glass cut­ting appli­ca­tions improve the over­all pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the shop, which decrease down­time and save man­u­fac­tur­ers time and money.
