What barriers do smart welding robots go through, from getting into the shipyard to receiving?

According to shipbroking firm Clarkson, China's shipbuilding industry is experiencing renewed innovation in 2026. In the first half of 2026, China's shipbuilding fleet reached 31 million new shipbuilding orders in the first half of 2026, an increase of 11

According to the shipping brokerage firm Clarkson, in the first half of 2026, Chinese shipyards' new orders reached 31 million modified total tons, an increase of 113%, accounting for 72% of the global market, and some Chinese shipyards' hand-delivered orders ran until 2030.
In the face of bulky ship orders, shipyards face a double test of manufacturing efficiency and delivery quality. Industrial robots are increasingly playing an increasingly critical role in the entire process of shipbuilding. From smart welding, smart painting to crawling, AI quality inspection, robots have been fully integrated into core processes such as steel plate cutting, segment welding, hull coating, material transfer.
This intelligent upgrade is profoundly changing the production logic of the shipbuilding industry from the skills and experience of teachers to the optimization of data-driven precision and algorithms.
