Vectis Automation
We are a team of passionate engineers with over two centuries of combined experience in the welding automation industry. We saw a growing need for low-risk, low-cost, and easy-to-use automation solutions catered towards small/medium shops needing to boost productivity amid the shortage of skilled labor - so we started Vectis in early 2019. With several hundred systems in the field and the largest cobot fabrication install base in North America, our mission remains the same as when we started: provide the lowest-risk and easiest-to-use automation solutions at an accessible price. We believe in: - Absolute Customer Focus - Integrity, Honesty, and Respect guiding our every action - Empowerment of Employees and Customers - Culture of Listening - Always Innovating
