Johnson Controls was founded in 1885 and since then it has focused on efficiency and resource conservation. Constantly exploring ways to improve welding safety, quality, and productivity; JCI made the decision to purchase a Rotoweld in 2021. Quality is critical to JCI, so 10 sample spools were welded by JCI’s operators during their three day training on Rotoweld and subjected to X-ray testing as per ASME Section IX Standards. All 10 X-rays passed the test and production with the Rotoweld started immediately. Ever since, JCI has experienced improved productivity, while achieving higher weld quality.

JCI has increased workplace safety by automating pipe spool welding

Moving the welder away from the heat and fumes of arc welding improves working conditions. Operators no longer need welding helmets because they view welding with the integrated video camera.
