Improving your shipbuilding process

Shipbuilding is one of the most complex construction jobs created by man. Processes have to be strictly aligned, when steel plates are turned into giant vessels. The biggest challenge is to keep the flow running, while maintaining a tight grip on building quality and making optimal use of valuable space at your yard.

Improving shipbuilding automation with smart robotics

Since 1983, KRANENDONK is the leading robotics supplier for efficient shipyard automation. We are automating key parts in the process chain, from profile cutting and panel welding, all the way to the pipe shop. With intelligent and CAD-connected robot lines, your production can be incredibly efficient and effective. See our product overview below.
