iiQKA Ecosystem
With the digital ecosystem for iiQKA, KUKA serves a powerful and continuously expanding network of intelligent automation and robotic solutions from partners.
Easy, intuitive, reliable: the iiQKA Ecosystem
With iiQKA, our 120 years of expertise in automation, robotics and global collaborations are intuitively distilled and delivered digitally. Built on the iiQKA.OS platform and delivered via KUKA’s my.kuka customer portal, the iiQKA Ecosystem is the key to making robot automation easier and opening it up to many more potential users. But the true power of the iiQKA Ecosystem comes from the content inside it: from easy-to-use and implement components such grippers, safety sensors and vision systems, to software for automation solutions from our partners. The iiQKA Ecosystem offers intelligent industrial automation possibilities in a reliable environment.
Extending the possibilities of robot-based automation
KUKA is teaming up with partners to expand the iiQKA Ecosystem step by step. Together, we are making smart applications, enhanced functionality and digital services available that will be the core of value to everyone with a need for robotics. The iiQKA Ecosystem grants its users convenient, intuitive and reliable access to both KUKA and third-party solutions.
To provide the most benefits to everyone working with it, the iiQKA Ecosystem focuses on three key elements: intuitive self-help, easy system extension and consistently clear governance.
Intuitive Self-help

Powerful yet simple extension
KUKA’s new operating system, iiQKA.OS, provides open interfaces to the software and hardware platform, subsequently making it easy to extend. In this way, it enables software developers and technology partners to quickly and intuitively create exactly those solutions and innovations on KUKA products the customers need in order to achieve their goals. Offering the perfect environment for a fruitful coopetition, the iiQKA Ecosystem stimulates innovation for powerful and fast, yet sustainable growth.

Clear and consistent governance
One of the key benefits of the KUKA iiQKA Ecosystem is that it allows partners and end-users to effortlessly achieve their goals regarding process automation as quickly as possible and in a fair way. This comes from a governance model showing all Ecosystem participants a clear way of actively joining and creating value within it, while at the same time ensuring they are protected and able to extract value from it. So, partners and everyone within the community will both benefit equally from easier collaboration and implementation, as well as increased speed to the market.
iiQKA Ecosystem Keystone Partners
The iiQKA Ecosystem will be filled with a growing and global network of experienced automation and robotics experts, software and process developers, and other types of partners. At the start, it will be launched with a group of iiQKA Ecosystem Keystone Partners – each a leading supplier in their fields of expertise. These are partners who have been working closely together with each other and with KUKA for decades – creating synergies, sharing the same dedication to quality, embracing innovation and a common vision of the future.
