Spare Parts Recommendation: Plan and Stock Spare Parts for Your Robot Fleet Efficiently

Reduce downtime risk and eliminate guesswork in spare parts planning. Spare Parts Recommendation automatically creates tailored spare parts recommendations for your entire KUKA robot fleet, complete with recommended quantities, pricing, and real-time availability information.

Why is Spare Parts Planning for robots so important?

If a critical component fails and the required spare part is not available, entire production lines can come to a standstill. At the same time, excessive inventory ties up capital and creates unnecessary storage costs.

As a result, many companies face challenges such as:

  • Which spare parts are compatible with my installed robots?
  • Which spare parts should I keep in stock, and which are most likely to be needed?
  • How many spare parts do I actually need?
  • How can I optimize my spare parts inventory to reduce downtime and lower inventory costs?
  • Which spare parts does KUKA recommend for my entire robot fleet?

Spare Parts Recommendation answers these questions automatically and helps you build a data-driven spare parts strategy.

What is Spare Parts Recommendation?

Spare Parts Recommendation is a digital service tool in the KUKA Shop that helps you plan spare parts more efficiently by automatically creating a tailored recommendation for your entire robot fleet. In addition to suitable components, you receive recommendations for optimal stock quantities as well as current pricing and availability information.

This helps you gain transparency into critical spare parts, optimize your inventory levels, and increase the availability of your robots and production systems

How to create a Spare Parts Recommendation for your KUKA Robots

1. Sign in to the KUKA Shop

Register for free in the KUKA Shop and log in to view your registered KUKA robots. Your assets are typically assigned and displayed automatically after purchase. This provides you with personalized spare part recommendations for your installed KUKA systems and helps you find the right spare parts for maintenance more quickly. 

2. Generate automatic spare part recommendations

Based on your registered robots, the system analyzes your installed robot fleet and identifies replacement parts that are particularly important for reliable operation.

3. Select the appropriate referral package

Choose the package that best fits your maintenance and inventory strategy:

  • Basic: Includes critical replacement parts with a high risk of failure that could lead to an immediate production shutdown if they malfunction. These include, for example, motors and RDC components.
  • Advanced: Includes all components from the Basic package as well as additional replacement parts for weight balancing.
  • Premium: Includes all components from the Advanced package as well as other important assemblies, such as central arms, for even more comprehensive protection of your robot fleet.

Depending on the package, you will receive different spare part recommendations, including appropriate quantity recommendations.

4. Customize recommendations

Flexibly adjust the suggested quantities to meet your needs; increase or decrease the number of items and remove items that are already in stock.

5. Order directly online

Add the recommended replacement parts to your shopping cart with just a few clicks and order them directly online from the KUKA Shop.

You’ll enjoy additional price advantages on the spare parts packages compiled via Spare Parts Recommendation. Your individually agreed-upon prices and terms will, of course, remain in effect and will be automatically applied.

Frequently Asked Questions about Spare Parts Planning and Inventory Management

What spare parts should I keep in stock for my KUKA robots?

Which spare parts you should keep in stock depends on your installed robot fleet. Spare Parts Recommendation identifies spare parts that are particularly relevant for your registered KUKA robots and automatically generates a tailored recommendation for spare parts inventory.

How many spare parts should I keep in stock?

The recommended quantities are based on your installed KUKA robot fleet. The total number of robots and the models in use are taken into account to help ensure that you stock the relevant spare parts according to your needs. This provides you with a practical basis for your spare parts planning.

Who is Spare Parts Recommendation designed for?

Spare Parts Recommendation is particularly well-suited for companies that operate multiple KUKA robots or different robot models and want to plan their spare parts inventory proactively.

The tool helps you

  • reduce unplanned production downtime,

  • build inventory levels based on demand,
  • avoid incorrect orders, and
  • reduce the manual planning effort.

How can I avoid unplanned production downtime?

Proactive spare parts inventory management helps ensure that critical components can be replaced quickly when needed. Spare Parts Recommendation helps you identify important spare parts early on and ensure they are available for your robot fleet. This reduces the risk of downtime and increases system availability.

How do I know that the replacement parts will fit my robots?

The recommendations are based on the robots you have registered. For each suggested replacement part, you can also see which robots it is compatible with.

Why are certain amounts recommended?

The recommended quantities are based on the number and models of your robots and are derived from proven empirical data. This provides you with a practical foundation for stocking important replacement parts as needed and reducing the risk of downtime.

Can I order additional products?
