Large-Scale Robotics for the Maritime Industry

Modern shipbuilding requires advanced robotic welding mechanisms and customized systems for heavy material handling and assembly. Navus thrives in designing custom weld cells for large, oddly-shaped parts. Our heavy-industry facility, including a 25-ton gantry crane, allows us to test and validate systems in-house.

Shipyards need guided systems capable of complex task-switching and high degrees of precision. When you work with Navus, we begin with a comprehensive analysis of your current operations and a simulation proof of concept to ensure our final deployment accelerates your production right out of the gate. No task is too big for our team to tackle.
