Optimized energy efficiency for greater sustainability
Efficiency plays a key role on the way to greater sustainability. Efficiency is important not only for the economic profitability of a company, but also for its ecological balance. For sustainable development, valuable resources must be conserved and integrated into the circular economy. The desire for more energy efficiency in production is increasing – also, for example, due to the increase in energy costs.
By investing in automation, companies can increase the efficiency of their production and reduce the consumption of resources.
Energy-efficient robots and systems play an important role in reducing the consumption levels and therefore the environmental impact. At KUKA, we are continuously working on solutions that reduce the energy requirements of our robots. The development of new products therefore focuses on a streamlined and stable product design. CO₂ emissions are reduced during production by reducing the energy consumption of the robots. The operating costs fall at the same time.
How do we make our robots more efficient?
KUKA robots are among the most energy-efficient robots on the market. With three decisive factors, we ensure greater sustainability and efficiency by reducing the energy consumption of our robots.
Two major advantages for KUKA customers –
sustainable & cost-efficient
The term “Total Cost of Ownership” describes the total costs of a product over the entire life cycle. When calculating the TCO, we take into account not only the acquisition costs, but also factors such as energy consumption, integration, spare parts, consumables, maintenance, training and accessories.
Energy consumption can account for the major share of the total costs and even exceed the costs of acquisition, depending on the robot type. It is therefore particularly important, in terms of the costs, to target low energy requirements.
With KUKA solutions, you can increase the economic efficiency of your production by increasing the efficiency. KUKA robotic solutions are among the most energy-efficient solutions on the market.
What we do at KUKA to save energy
We, too, want to become more sustainable and focus on greater efficiency, resource conservation and environmental friendliness. We are reducing consumption at our sites around the world and increasing energy efficiency with a wide range of measures.
