Metal Building Innovation<\/h2>\n

At Allied, innovation is in our DNA and being at the forefront of technology is how we operate. We are relentless about improving our processes and operations across our organization, and recently embraced the benefits of employing robotics and automation in assembly and welding processes at our fabrication facilities. In true Allied fashion, we didn\u2019t stop at adopting advanced systems, we collaborated with Zeman and Lincoln Electric<\/a> to modify robotics systems to meet our unique needs, proving once again that we\u2019re not limited by how things have traditionally been done.<\/p>\n

Facing pandemic-driven labor shortages in 2020 and after, Allied’s leadership sought out a way to make our teams and fabrication processes more efficient. While much of the metal building industry continues to operate with tried and tested practices that have worked for hundreds of years, we saw an opportunity to borrow from the successes of the structural steel industry: namely, leveraging robotics systems for applications in pre-engineered metal building fabrication.<\/p>\n

Though we are still learning from this integration, robotics and automation have significantly enhanced the quality and efficiency of our operations. These systems provide unmatched consistency in our assembly and welding processes, ensuring precision and reliability in every product. By integrating digital data transfer, we\u2019ve also improved traceability and planning, allowing us to streamline workflows and better meet client demands.<\/p>\n

Beyond efficiency, this innovation has improved safety across our facilities. By automating labor-intensive tasks like welding, we\u2019ve greatly reduced the number of man-hours required for these operations compared to other steel manufacturing facilities<\/a>. In addition to boosting productivity, this has led to a safer workplace for our team, all while maintaining a high standard of quality.<\/p>\n

The impact of these innovations is clear:<\/p>\n
