# Hirebotics

> Hirebotics sells ready-to-run collaborative robot systems for welding, plasma cutting and industrial painting, all controlled through its no-code Beacon platform. Its bet is that small and midsize fabricators do not need another robot project; they need a shop-floor tool that welders can teach from a phone or tablet, move between jobs and support remotely.
