I have been an entrepreneur since 1983. Historically 90% of start-ups fail. I have yet to bankrupt one (knock on wood). People ask me how I did it. So we are going to do a series on Dan’s Business Secrets or Dan’s BS for short.
My guest on this episode is an old friend, Bruce E. Arnold. We are both Oil & Gas manufacturing guys starting back to the ’70s.
Trey and I go way back in the welding automation business. Trey has focused on field welding, while I have concentrated on machines operating in factories. But the two fields are merging. Robots are becoming smaller and more flexible. These advancements allow robots to move to the field. Flexibility allows our systems to adapt to the variable parts and changing environment in field welding. Also, as the systems become smaller and more portable, deploying them in the field becomes more practical.
This episode of The Roboticist Chronicles is brought to you from the show floor of #FABTECH2021 in Chicago, Illinois. Daniel Allford sits down with his fellow exhibitors, Weld Tooling Corporation (Bug-O Systems), ATI Industrial Automation, and Xiris Automation Inc. , and discusses the tradeshow’s state since the pandemic and what new exciting products and initiatives are on the horizon.

On this week’s episode of The Roboticist Chronicles, Dan Allford is joined by Cameron Serles, President of XIRIS Automation, Inc... As they talk about the history of arc video monitoring, the various technical applications involved, and how XIRIS does it differently, and why it is better.
Cameron Serles founded Xiris Automation, a developer of machine vision systems, was founded in 1989 but got into arc video monitoring 12 years ago. Dan and Cameron discuss the history of arc video monitoring dating back to the 1980s with Charles Stenning’s Stenning Vision to high dynamic range imaging.
“These welding vision systems are something we use on a lot of ARC Specialties machines. They are a critical part of the technology we sell…”

Join Gary Kowalski, Senior District Manager at FANUC AMERICA, and Dan Allford, President of ARC Specialties, as they reminisce on some of their past projects. They will go over some of their failure, successes, and proudest achievements in the robotics industry.
Because they deal primarily with physical products, anyone in manufacturing knows that the industry as a whole has taken a hit from the effects of the pandemic.
Oh boy. Now they’ve really gone and done it. Arc Specialties President Dan Allford always enjoys getting a little spicy on The Roboticist Chronicles, but in this edition, it’s a full-on spirited debate with host Tyler Kern.
