The "Bringing in, Integrating & Innovating: High-Quality Development Matchmaking Exchange Conference for the Welding Equipment Industry", hosted by the Chengdu Intelligent Welding Equipment Industry Association, was successfully held in Chengdu on November 27. Cowin Welding was invited to participate and deliver a keynote speech.
Against the backdrop of a pattern where strong demand coexists with supply imbalance in the field of welding skilled talents, Zhang Fei, Technical Supervisor of Cowin Welding, shared the report titled Exploration of Development Trends in Manual Welding—
· Industry demand keeps growing with industrial development. The accelerated industrialization process and expanded infrastructure construction have directly driven the overall demand for welders.
· Demand in high-end manufacturing sectors is particularly prominent. High-end fields such as manufacturing, energy, and aerospace have witnessed a significant increase in demand for welders, becoming the core driver of demand growth.
· Welder has long been ranked among the top of the "most in-demand occupations". The market has an obvious gap in demand for welding skilled talents, and the shortage continues to be prominent.
· Talent supply presents a contradiction of "surplus at the low end and shortage at the high end". A large number of junior welders gather in low-threshold fields, leading to fierce competition; while the supply of high-level welders required by high-end manufacturing is insufficient.
· Automation substitution exacerbates the shortage of high-end talents. Simple and repetitive welding work is gradually replaced by robots, yet high-difficulty and complex working conditions still rely on experienced welders, who have been in short supply for a long time.

Manual welding itself has high requirements for operational skills, which demands long-term practice and experience accumulation. How to enable welders to quickly master high-quality welding skills and realize effective control and traceability of process flows and parameters has become the key to solving industry pain points—and Cowin Welding has targeted this with a series of manual welding technology solutions.

As an occupation with high requirements for operational skills, manual welding requires long-term practice and experience accumulation.
· Velo reduces the skill requirements for welders in manual MIG/MAG welding, alleviates physical strain on welders, ensures fast welding speed, is easy to operate, and delivers attractive weld bead formation.
· DynamicWire dynamic wire feeding technology greatly lowers the operational skill requirements for TIG welding. Ordinary welders can master the key operational skills of TIG welding in a short time after simple training.
· WeldCube Navigator significantly shortens the training and familiarization time for new welders, saving time, money and resource costs, and even pioneers the data management and process control of manual welding.
