Meet KUKA Nordic at Elmia Automation 

Another shift that gained momentum during the pandemic is online sales, which increased the need for decentralized warehouses and smart and super-efficient logistics. In this context, self-driving logistics robots that freely navigate on their own - without magnetic paths or similar - have become an increasingly popular product. The battery-powered platforms need to be recharged from time to time, which limits their efficiency. This is something that KUKA has recognized. The company has recently released a new generation of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) and KMRs (KUKA Mobile Robot) - an AMR with a robot arm mounted on the platform. The new versions are both more energy-efficient and can be inductively charged while working, providing an operating time of up to 24 hours a day. - This allows you to get by with fewer robots.

Another industrial trend where KUKA is successful is digitalization. The company has invested in developing smart software that both increases efficiency and is increasingly easy to use without advanced programming skills. "At the fair, we will talk about what we call the digital journey. For example, with our KUKA.Sim software you can simulate an entire automation line in your laptop, with specific robots and other automation equipment interacting.
KUKA has also thought digitally on the aftermarket side. It is easy to order spare parts from the KUKA website. In addition, we have a strategy of modularity, where the different models share components as much as possible - which increases the availability of spare parts.
