About

Bug-O Systems is a family-owned business founded in 1948. Its motion control concept dates to WWII, when the predecessor "Livesay Multipurpose Machines" helped Higgins Industries in New Orleans mass-produce Navy ships and landing craft; the shipyard produced a record 700 boats a month.

In 1987 the company worked with shipyards to mechanize welding of submarines and ships for the U.S. military, and in 2007 Bug-O mechanization was used in building Disney cruise ships at the Meyer Werft yard. The company runs the Herbert E. Cable Training Center in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, for distributor, dealer and end-user training.
