Manufacturing is not possible without laser cutting, a non-contact thermal cutting method. Laser cutting is the first step in the manufacturing process for metal, followed by joining and manufacturing techniques like welding. Based on the development of technology and the digital revolution led by Industry 4.0, intelligent systems like automation and robots will be used in the future of metal production processes like laser cutting. Moreover, the use of energy-efficient materials is made possible by the digital transformation, where robots and automated systems are significant drivers. High-strength steels (HSS) for structural applications (such as bioenergy structures, wind turbines, and ice-going boats) on land, at sea, and in the Arctic are examples of such energy-efficient materials. This essay aims to clarify the potential of robot laser cutting systems within the context of integrated metal manufacturing in the factories of the future. On the basis of scientific and commercial viewpoints, previous investigations on laser cutting technologies are analysed. The well-known flatbed laser cutting CNC machine is contrasted with the robot laser cutting system in a number of areas, including production flexibility, digitalization simplicity, off-line functionality, and investment analysis. The research will be used to compare robot laser cutting systems against flat-bed laser cutting CNC machines, especially when it comes to small and medium-sized businesses that manufacture metal (SMEs). The purpose of this study is to stimulate experimental and computational research on robot metal laser cutting systems and to assist businesses in selecting the laser cutting technology that will best serve their future manufacturing operations.
