In a second project phase, IRCO recently delivered three gantries, each with separate functions including marking, cutting, tacking and finish weld procedures. The three gantries were integrated with the customized trolley system to enable the transfer of the assembled craft through the production line. ![Welding Gantry](https://news.ircoautomation.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IRCO-NEWS-IMAGE-Textron.png) IRCO Automation™ systems delivers ROI for Textron Systems. “The IRCO-built assets are helping reduce SSC program labor hours and, in tandem with other assembly systems, will decrease production defects,” explained Tom Walmsley, senior vice president and general manager, Textron Systems Marine & Land Systems. "These systems are excellent—they’ve even contributed to our Ship-to-Shore Connector program team earning the Textron Chairman’s Award for innovation. The increased quality and productivity that we can deliver to the Navy—thanks in part to these systems—will not only save the program money but will also reduce on-the-job injuries. We are very pleased with IRCO’s contributions”   **Read more here:** [Textron Press Release](https://investor.textron.com/news/news-releases/press-release-details/2015/Ontario-based-IRCO-Automation-Provides-Textron-Systems-Customized-Production-Equipment-for-Major-US-Navy-Program/default.aspx) **For more information please contact:** www.ircoautomation.com **| info@ircoautomation.com  ** 800.742.1175   Topics: [Welding Automation](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/welding-automation) [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4544323/cfc581ee-e2a6-402a-a875-a2267d483c7d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4544323/cfc581ee-e2a6-402a-a875-a2267d483c7d) ![Copy of Copy of Add a heading](https://news.ircoautomation.com/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Copy%20of%20Add%20a%20heading.png "Copy of Copy of Add a heading") ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Tag - [Welding Automation (32)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/welding-automation) - [Weld Positioning Equipment (17)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/weld-positioning-equipment) - [Robotic Welding (16)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/robotic-welding) - [Automated Welding System Features (13)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/automated-welding-system-features) - [IRCO Automation (13)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/irco-automation) - [Welding (11)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/welding) - [Production Monitoring (6)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/production-monitoring) - [IRCOpulse (5)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/ircopulse) - [Automated Reaming Station (2)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/automated-reaming-station) - [Service and Support (2)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/service-and-support) - [Welding Positioner (2)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/welding-positioner) - [Weld Camera (1)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/weld-camera) - [aerospace (1)](https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/tag/aerospace) See all [![vast.png](https://news.ircoautomation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/irco_logo-1.png?width=100&height=40&name=irco_logo-1.png "vast.png")](http://ircoautomation.com) [IRCO Automation](https://www.ircoautomation.com/) 5150 Mainway, Unit 2 Burlington, Ontario L7L 5Z1 Canada   Toll Free:[ 1-800-742-1175](tel:18007421175) General:[ (905) 336-2862](tel:9053362862) Service: [ (905) 317-1760](tel:9053362862) Email:[ info@ircoautomation.com](mailto:info@ircoautomation.com) - [Home](https://www.ircoautomation.com/) - [Welding Automation](https://ircoautomation.com/welding-systems/) - [Positioning Equipment](https://ircoautomation.com/positioning-equipment/) - [About](https://ircoautomation.com/irco-automation/) - [Service and Support](https://ircoautomation.com/service/) - [Contact Us](https://ircoautomation.com/contact-us-irco/) - [Privacy Policy](https://ircoautomation.com/privacy-policy/) - [Careers](https://ircoautomation.com/careers/) - [News](https://ircoautomation.com/news-all-posts/) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Guest Writer", "url" : "https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/author/guest-writer" }, "dateModified" : "2021-11-12T00:39:00.993Z", "datePublished" : "2016-09-16T19:25:00.000Z", "headline" : "News: IRCO Automation Provides Equipment for Textron Systems", "image" : [ "https://news.ircoautomation.com/hubfs/Linear%20Robot%20for%20Box%20Beam%20Welding%20(6).png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://news.ircoautomation.com/news/irco-automation-provides-equipment-for-textron-systems", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://news.ircoautomation.com/hubfs/irco_logo-1.png" }, "name" : "IRCO Automation Inc." } } ```
