Physical AI
for Manufacturing

“Restoring America's maritime industrial capacity requires rethinking how shipyards are designed and operated from the ground up. At Saronic, we are exploring how physical AI and automation can help advance shipbuilding operations, just as our autonomous systems are transforming maritime operations at sea. This collaboration allows us to learn how Path's technology can be applied within our shipbuilding environments and scaled to support a more modern, resilient production model.”

“Traditional automation could not handle the reality of shipbuilding. Path's technology gives us the added capacity we need without relying on a shrinking labor pool of welders, while maintaining the quality our customers expect. Path was the only solution that made sense for LAD and we're confident this will revolutionize the industry.”

“We've looked at robotic welders in the past, and the cost benefit didn't work out. Path was different.”

“We'd looked at automation before, and it never made sense for the massive parts we build — 50,000 pounds, 44 feet long. Path is the first system that can actually handle them.”

“We can produce more product in the same amount of time without having to work harder. The quality of the Path cell is very good. The welds are really consistent.”
