Why choose LEAS for the shipbuilding and heavy construction sectors?

With nearly fifty years of experience in robotic welding and industrial integration, LEAS is the single point of contact for those who build ships, structural blocks, metal carpentry, and industrial infrastructure.
Our solutions—from robotic cells to turnkey lines—improve the quality, continuity, and safety of processes in contexts characterized by large thicknesses, critical components, and high operational variability.

The main advantages include:

Customized design for ships, bulkheads, load-bearing structures, piping, and prefabricated modules.
Total repeatability of the joint, digital traceability, and compliance with industry regulations and standards.
Significant reduction in time, rework, and non-compliance.
Increased safety thanks to the transition from physically risky activities to automated and controlled processes.
Integration with artificial vision, sensors, intelligent supervision, and advanced AI (such as Xaba X-Cognition, part of the LEAS ecosystem).
Operational continuity guaranteed by predictive maintenance, remote assistance, and the possibility of future upgrades.

Reduction in Processing Times

LEAS solutions for heavy construction and shipbuilding accompany companies and shipyards in their transition to Industry 5.0: safer, more digital, more predictive, and highly automated.

Process integration and control of the entire production cycle

In the shipbuilding and construction sectors, where large sheets, thick gauges, critical piping, and complex subassemblies dominate, integrated process management is a decisive competitive advantage.

Processes that can be automated with LEAS solutions include:

Laser, plasma, or oxyfuel cutting
Bending, forming, curving, and edge preparation
Robotic welding of structures, bulkheads, stringers, carpentry, and piping
Module assembly and alignment control
Automated inspection with 3D vision, scanning, and sensors
Marking, testing, quality control, and MES integration

Vertical integration allows every stage to be monitored: from the sheet metal or raw pipe to the module ready for installation, improving quality, times and production capacity.

What are the welding techniques for large structures and naval applications?

LEAS designs high-precision, high-productivity systems for heavy-duty processing, ensuring structural strength and regulatory compliance.

Available technologies:

MIG/MAG → for load-bearing structures, continuous joints, and piping
Submerged arc (SAW) → ideal for thick hull plates, bulkheads, beams, and stringers
TIG → perfect for stainless steel, pipes, and high-precision joints
Laser and Laser Hybrid → high speed, reduced distortion, consistent quality
Plasma → effective for medium thicknesses and variable geometries

All technologies can be integrated with:

Anthropomorphic robots
Scanning and vision systems
Real-time parameter control
Digital traceability and predictive diagnostics

Thanks to the industrial AI of the LEAS ecosystem, plants can learn, adapt to deformations and variations in large semi-finished products, and optimize quality over time.
