The growing globalization of markets, the evolution of production chains, and the relentless pursuit of efficiency place robotic automation and advanced welding processes at the heart of 21st-century industrial strategies. This article analyzes how these technologies act as drivers of competitiveness, transforming production paradigms and establishing new benchmarks for quality, cost, and flexibility. The integration of multi-brand robotic systems, combined with the use of high-precision welding techniques such as laser, controlled MIG/MAG, and hybrid processes, redefines not only operational performance but also the very logic of companies' entry into global markets. Through a literature review, industrial case studies, and critical analysis, the study demonstrates that the incorporation of these tools constitutes not only a response to current demands but also a sine qua non for the survival of companies in highly competitive sectors such as automotive, metallurgy, and aerospace.
