Looking Ahead:
FABTECH and the future of Steel Fabrication
We recently travelled to Florida, USA, with Impact Machinery and our industry partners to attend the FABTECH Expo. Our first international tradeshow, we learned about the latest advancements in fabrication technology, gained new insights from leading manufacturers, discussed industry challenges and how emerging technologies can reshape the steel fabrication industry.
Exploring Innovation and Automation
FABTECH was a vast showcase featuring cutting-edge equipment, automation advancements, and innovative manufacturing processes.
For DWW, the event was an opportunity to explore new fabrication machinery, such as robotic welding and automation, and consider how they can shape our operations. With emerging automation technologies becoming more common, we will start to see more accessibility for streamlining efficiency and output precision, setting new standards for quality and productivity across our industries.
A Global Perspective on Manufacturing
Our team also visited nearby manufacturing workshops, where we had the opportunity to see how other steel fabricators structure their operations, integrate software and management systems, and utilise automation in their workflows.
While every workshop is unique, each one had valuable takeaways for our team, providing insightful perspectives on how our industry counterparts operate across the globe.
What’s Next for DWW?
The trip was an important opportunity for DWW to see the latest trends and technologies in steel fabrication, providing us with valuable takeaways for our own operations. In particular, the advancements in automation, from robotic welding to streamlined blasting, are promising and we are looking forward to seeing how they shape the industry.
At DWW, we’re proud to be among the top steel fabricators in Australia. Our team is driven to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that every project we deliver is of the highest quality, from planning to in-house drafting, fabricating, and delivery and installation.
