NASCC is widely positioned as a premier education and networking event for the steel design and construction ecosystem, bringing together fabricators, designers, and solution providers under one roof.
Labor Shortages That Don't Let Up
When experienced welders are hard to find, production plans become fragile. Even when you can hire, training takes time and variability shows up as rework, schedule slips, and inconsistent output. Robotic welding can help you stabilize production by taking the most repetitive and time-consuming weldments off the critical path, so skilled people can focus on higher-value tasks like precision fitting, complex weldments, troubleshooting, quality checks, and continuous improvement.
Welding Bottlenecks That Cap Throughput
In many structural steel operations, welding is not just a step, it is the constraint. When welding becomes the bottleneck, downstream tasks pile up, overtime increases, and lead times stretch. AGT Robotics systems are built to improve throughput with consistent cycle times and repeatable execution, helping shift production from “heroic effort” to predictable flow.
High Mix Reality, Without High Programming Burden
Structural steel is rarely one-part, one-program, all day. Beam sizes change, connections vary, and job requirements evolve. AGT Robotics is known for autonomous robotic welding designed for high-mix fabrication, reducing the dependency on advanced robot programming expertise and making automation more practical for real-world fab shops.
Consistency You Can Plan Around
When output quality varies by shift or by operator availability, it is hard to forecast delivery dates and margins. Robotic welding helps produce more consistent results, which can reduce rework and help standardize production expectations across teams and shifts.
What To Expect at the AGT Robotics Booth?
When you visit AGT Robotics at NASCC 2026, our team will focus on your specific bottlenecks and decision criteria. Expect a practical conversation around:
• What is driving your backlog: fit-up time, welding time, rework, or staffing
• Which components consume the most welding hours: beams with attachments, base plates, built-up members, frames, trusses, or custom assemblies
• Your mix profile: part variety, changeover frequency, and batch sizes
• How to approach automation in phases, without disrupting production
If you bring a couple of typical drawings or models, we can usually get very specific, very quickly.
Who Should Book Time with AGT Robotics at NASCC 2026?
This is a strong fit if you are responsible for output, staffing, or throughput in any of the following environments:
• Structural steel fabrication shops trying to scale capacity
• Shops facing welder scarcity or retirement risk
• Operations with recurring bottlenecks on beam welding and attachments
• Teams under pressure to improve consistency and delivery predictability
