KUKA "More than Robots". End Customer event 13/10

To invest in automation and robotics is far more than installing equipment in your facility. Once your automation equipment is up and running, it has a certain footprint that has an effect on your operation costs on your environmental footprint. This is another area where KUKA is focusing – Cost of Ownership – and by that we mean both the financial and the environmental aspect. Besides the fact that KUKA robots are used for modern battery production, KUKA works hard and continuously to minimize energy consumption, not only during production of our products, but also during the complete lifecycle of our products.

To use a digital twin is in the media today described as the silver bullet when it comes to optimizing production and saving money. As the concept of the digital twin can cover some areas of applications, it can easily grow into something larger and more complex than intended. We at KUKA claims that the digital twin is neither a product nor very expensive or complicated. Instead the digital twin is a method to be employed by both supplier and customer as a standard project method,  which automatically improves the outcome and result of the project – with no or very little extra costs.
