As a globally trusted leader in welding automation across multiple sectors, Novarc\u2019s technologies have been proven to maximize productivity and promote a new era of manufacturing. With significant skilled labor shortages facing several industries including welding, many manufacturers are tasked with finding solutions to automate processes where possible with the aim of driving greater efficiency and extending the existing labor force.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">A welding breakthrough<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The company was founded in 2013, with Novarc\u2019s first Spool Welding Robot (SWR\u2122) prototype established in 2015, which was the world\u2019s first of its kind in pipe welding applications. Following design tweaks, the first SWR was installed in Ontario, Canada, in 2016, but it was officially launched at FABTECH in Chicago in 2017.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The SWR was the first collaborative robot purpose-built for pipe welding. The technology didn\u2019t just automate welding; it redefined the process. Customers report up to a 12-fold productivity increase in stainless steel welding and three- to five-fold gains in carbon steel, with repair rates below one percent &#8211; a metric that exceeds industry norms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Having since grown its presence to four continents (North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia), Novarc\u2019s technologies are streamlining operations across the globe. Soroush Karimzadeh, CEO and co-founder of Novarc, joins us to elaborate on the company\u2019s journey so far. \u201cNovarc focuses on solving tough welding automation challenges that have not previously been addressed by the industry,\u201d he opens. \u201cOur SWR is an advanced welding cobot designed to increase productivity and improve weld quality in pipe and roll welding applications. Companies using the SWR have achieved significant results, including increasing productivity by up to 12 times in stainless steel pipe welding productivity and three-to-five times in carbon steel.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cPrecision is another key advantage, with less than one percent repair rates, which far surpasses industry standards and ensures adherence to rigorous testing<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-53753\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Novarc-236-body-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Novarc-236-body-image.jpg 425w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Novarc-236-body-image-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/> requirements. The SWR also has the smallest footprint in the industry, and when combined with our Welding Vision System with insights from NovData, it offers an unparalleled, world-class solution. The robot can be customized to specific customer needs, with options for single torch, dual torch, and SWR-F, as well as positioner and BIM software integrations.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike other welding solutions, Novarc\u2019s flexible technologies can weld a variety of joints with fewer space restrictions, where operators interactively adjust during the weld without the need to pre-program. Building on the SWR, the SWR-TIPTIG is a cobot designed specifically for pipe, pressure vessel, and roll welding applications using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG) process. This system pushes the limits of TIG welding to new heights, using the advanced TIPTIG system to enhance both speed and precision beyond conventional standards.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Beyond the spool<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe very recently launched a new product, NovAI, a computer vision, AI-powered robotic vision system,\u201d Soroush adds. \u201cNovAI brings vision, cognition, and real-time adaptation to articulated robotic and mechanized welders. The system increases the ROI of automated welding and ensures control over weld quality, allowing companies to automate tasks that couldn\u2019t previously be automated.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019ve learned a lot from speaking with customers and identifying their specific needs. Adaptive welding is a longstanding issue in robotic welding, but we can solve this problem by leveraging our experience in spool welding and computer vision systems. There are always part variations in the process, but our SWRs can react to different scenarios as they occur.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Commenting on skills shortages, Soroush continues: \u201cWe know that the entire industry is facing significant welder shortage issues, which can be somewhat eased by welders automating their pipeline processes. Not only do our solutions help operatives, but they also positively impact workplace environments by improving working conditions. By using robots, human welders are still in the loop as the robots need supervision, but workers are not exposed to the long-term hazards associated with carcinogenic gases. Improving these conditions and eliminating risk hugely contributes to attracting a new generation of welders to join the industry.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the topic of working environments, Soroush outlines some recent changes to the company\u2019s office space. \u201cWe\u2019ve recently consolidated our three offices in Vancouver into one office, so our manufacturing, supply chain, customer operations, R&amp;D, engineering, finance, and administration teams are all under one roof in Burnaby, British Columbia,\u201d he says. \u201cAs we eye expansion in both new and existing markets, we\u2019re continuing to build a high performing team of smart, humble, and motivated people.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Considering the company\u2019s impressive growth, we ask Soroush his thoughts on what factors have fueled such success. \u201cWe\u2019ve certainly come a long way from building a prototype of the SWR in 2015,\u201d he reflects. \u201cWe\u2019ve grown in several sectors since launching the SWR in 2017 and we\u2019ve scaled our manufacturing, supply chain, and customer operations teams to support this growth. Historically, we\u2019ve worked with the oil and gas industry, ship builders, and mechanical contractors, building pipes and modules for high rise buildings, stadiums, ships, LNG plants, and carbon capture plants. With our SWR and NovAI products applicable to alloys and stainless steel, we\u2019re able to expand into new markets like semiconductors, food and beverages, automotive, or even nuclear and aerospace.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Novarc not only produces these solutions but also supports customers throughout the journey. \u201cWe install all the units ourselves and our customer experience team supports customers throughout the process,\u201d Soroush explains. \u201cWe\u2019re proactive with our customers and we regularly reach out to see how they\u2019re getting on with our solutions and the benefits they\u2019re experiencing. By maintaining positive relationships, we build trusted partnerships with our customers, which often leads to repeat business or recommendations.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As industries across the globe grapple with skills shortages and a pressing need for greater efficiency, Novarc is clearly leading the way with autonomous welding solutions. From pioneering solutions like SWR to AI-powered systems like NovAI, Novarc is not only filling talent gaps, but increasing productivity and enhancing quality.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cDemand for welding is constantly growing, and with welder shortages across the globe, automation is a clear solution to ease pressure,\u201d Soroush concludes. \u201cWith the use of AI in the welding industry only expected to increase, new AI solutions are continuously emerging. We strive to develop great products aligned with our growth roadmap, and we\u2019re proud and excited to be at the forefront of the industry\u2019s adoption of AI.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span
