FANUC’s New Ultra-Lightweight Welding Cobot Takes Aim at Israel’s Welder Shortage
The hardest welding job on many Israeli shop floors is no longer the weld itself — it is finding a certified welder to make it. With skilled welders aging out of the workforce faster than new ones arrive, manufacturers across metalworking, defense, and food equipment are leaving capacity on the table. FANUC’s newest collaborative robot, […]
Rapid-Deployment Cobots: Why ‘Cobot and Go’ Is the Automation Breakthrough Israeli Manufacturers Have Been Waiting For
For years, the biggest barrier to automation on the Israeli factory floor was rarely the robot itself — it was the months of custom engineering, integration, and programming standing between a purchase order and a working production cell. That barrier is now collapsing. At Automate 2026 in Chicago, the industry’s largest robotics makers are signaling […]
How Cobots Are Solving Israel’s Labor Shortage — Real Results from the Production Floor
Ask any Israeli factory manager about their biggest operational challenge in 2025-2026, and the answer is almost always the same: finding and keeping skilled production workers. The labor shortage in Israeli manufacturing is structural, not cyclical. An aging workforce, competition from higher-paying sectors, and reduced availability of foreign workers have combined to create a gap […]
