The global mechanical engineering industry is growing at 6–8% annually, demanding welding precision within ±0.1 mm. Even the slightest deviation can disrupt multi-million-dollar production lines. According to the european mechanical engineering association, automated welding reduces defects by 25% and boosts productivity by 40% compared to manual methods. By 2025, the global welding consumables market is expected to reach USD 20.3 billion, with the Asia-Pacific region leading in welding robot market share (10.5%).

While manual welding faces limitations in speed and consistency, advanced welding technologies like robotic systems and laser welding are enabling Vietnamese manufacturers to leap forward and compete on the global stage.

From manual to automation: The evolution of welding technology

In the past, every weld relied 100% on human skill, often resulting in significant errors and inconsistent quality. Now, with technological advancements:

• Automated welding robots have increased productivity by 35% and reduced welding defects by 20% compared to manual methods.

• Laser welding achieves precision of ±0.05 mm at speeds up to 30 meters/hour, cutting material deformation by 50% through precise heat control.

• MIG/MAG and TIG welding offer balanced solutions, achieving welding speeds up to 10 meters/hour and significantly more stable welds than manual techniques.

Thanks to these advancements, businesses are now able to:

• Reduce labor costs by 20–30%,

• Minimize material waste (less spatter and excess components),

• Enhance weld aesthetics and quality.

The shift from manual to automated welding marks a pivotal transformation that is driving improvements in both production quality and operational efficiency.
