Manufacturers in the yacht and boatbuilding industry must navigate the demands of luxury high-end design in an uncompromising marine environment. A primary hurdle is the need for highly customized and often one-off designs, which require flexible production processes to translate unique client requests into a tangible, functional boat product.
As companies face increasing pressure to optimize production, address skilled labor shortages, and maintain the highest quality standards, Cohesive Robotics provides smart, automated solutions that meet these challenges head-on.
We specialize in advanced robotic workcells that streamline complex high-mix manufacturing processes, ensuring consistent quality and freeing up your workforce to focus on high-value tasks.
Our Smart Finishing™️ Robotic Workcell systems are pre-engineered with several kit options perfect for boatbuilding. And, kits can be combined for truly multi-process support.
Sanding Kit (suitable for woods, fiberglass, metals)
Deburring Kit
Spraying Kit
Polishing/Graining Kit (up to #8 mirror finish)
And More!
Our Smart Welding Robotic Workcell systems are pre-engineered with support for a variety of welding source and robot OEM options. And, solutions can be combined for a truly multi-process, upstream/downstream automated setup.

Take the first step to supercharge your high-mix operations. Speak with one of our automation experts and we'll provide a customized, free analysis for your operations.
In recreational marine boatbuilding, we know that the way something looks is essential to meeting the needs of your clients. Our Smart Finishing™️ Robotic Workcell is designed with the high-mix manufacturer in mind. Our integrated vision system and proprietary AI software scans, understands, and automatically programs and operates the robot for whatever part, or batch of parts, is present.
Yes you can! Our Smart Welding Robotic Workcell is designed with the high-mix manufacturer in mind and supports a variety of welding processes and welding power sources. Our integrated vision system and proprietary AI software scans, understands, and automatically programs and operates the robot for whatever part, or batch of parts, is present.
Our Argus OS-powered solutions support a variety of hardware configurations to meet the precision and throughput needs of your application. Our AI-powered scanning technology can achieve sub-millimeter accuracy, while force control for our finishing solutions can achieve resolutions under 1 N (0.225 lbf). That's much more accurate than a human operator can discern, and more consistent from the beginning to the end of a shift.
When performed manually, common fabrication operations can be hazardous to employee health, especially without the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). This can include long-term effects due to dust inhalation and vibrational impact. In boatbuilding, that is particularly hazardous with the common usage of fiberglass across the manufacturing process. Advanced automation and robots protect workers from these hazards while offering more consistent quality, higher production output levels, and more predictable consumables material usage.
