Techman Robot has entered into a strategic alliance with the Welding Systems Division of Panasonic Connect, with the shared goal of advancing automation in welding across the Japanese manufacturing sector. This partnership merges Techman Robot’s collaborative robotics expertise with Panasonic’s deep knowledge in welding technologies to create next-generation solutions for automated welding.
Since the beginning of their collaboration in 2023, both companies have been aligning their strengths to meet increasing industry demands. The focus now shifts to intensifying their joint efforts within the Japanese market, where demand for efficient and automated welding systems continues to rise.
As part of this initiative, Techman Robot has introduced the “Welding Node” module—an easy-to-use solution designed to simplify the deployment of robot-assisted welding. It integrates directly with Panasonic’s fully digital welding systems, offering a more accessible pathway to automation, particularly in response to the skilled labor shortage impacting the welding industry.
The robotic systems developed by Techman include an integrated vision platform and AI-powered capabilities, allowing for more intuitive and adaptable operation. These features make it easier for businesses to implement and scale automated welding solutions without complex programming or extensive retraining.
By combining their technological innovations, both companies are aiming to not only accelerate automation on the shop floor but also unlock new application possibilities through continuous advancements in artificial intelligence. Established on April 1, 2022, Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. was formed as part of the Panasonic Group’s transition to an operating company structure. With a global workforce of approximately 28,300 employees and annual revenues of JPY 1,202.8 billion, the company plays a pivotal role in advancing the Panasonic Group’s business-to-business (B2B) solutions segment.
Panasonic Connect delivers integrated value to its customers by combining cutting-edge hardware, intelligent software, and over a century of expertise in industrial engineering. The company’s mission—“Change Work, Advance Society, Connect to Tomorrow”—guides its efforts to drive innovation across key sectors, including supply chain management, public services, infrastructure, and entertainment.
