Somewhere near Vrbas, Serbia, a skilled welder is still working because his employer invested in automation. But how?
That the employer in question, steel fabricator KM MONT in Petrovaradin, Serbia, employs about 75 skilled welders and about 300 workers total might intrigue some people. Also notable: The company’s new automated rotary pipe welding line, a PEMA TW5000-25 that includes a column and boom station and an assembly station, welds large pressure vessels much faster than the company’s manual welders ever could.
