Visit KUKA at Booth N-5530 to experience live, real-world applications showcasing how advanced robotics, autonomous mobile robots and intelligent software can help create more flexible, efficient production environments.

Automated Palletizing & Material Handling | FOCUS Integration

Explore the FOCUS CUBE, a double-sided robotic palletizing and depalletizing cell featuring a KR IONTEC industrial robot and KMP 1500P autonomous mobile robot. The two-sided configuration keeps production moving by allowing completed pallets to be autonomously removed while palletizing continues on the opposite side.

Flexible Robotic Loading | Compendium Group

See how Compendium Group combines a KR AGILUS robot with KUKA.PLC mxAutomation to create a flexible case loading solution that seamlessly switches between different product and case sizes at the press of a button. Controlled through a single Allen-Bradley PLC, the interactive demonstration lets visitors change recipes, adjust robot speeds, and monitor robot motion, velocity, and torque data directly from the HMI.

Automated Case Blank Loading | Acieta

See the KR CYBERTECH in a packaging application from Acieta that simulates preparing bundles of flattened boxes for case erecting. The robot removes straps from the bundles and loads the flattened boxes into a case erector magazine, demonstrating compact, efficient automation for packaging operations.

Random Pick-and-Place of Food Products | Next Tech Automation

Next Tech Automation combines a KR AGILUS robot with Lyro Machine Intelligence to identify and pick randomly oriented pork chops and precisely load them into a thermoformer mold. Featuring KUKA.mxAutomation and KUKA.SafeOperation, the flexible solution demonstrates how intelligent robotic guidance can automate challenging thermoforming, tray loading, and other protein packaging applications without requiring upstream product orientation.

Interactive Automation | LBR iisy + iiQKA.OS2

Get hands-on with the LBR iisy cobot and iiQKA.OS2 at KUKA’s interactive stand. Experience intuitive collaborative robotics and explore how KUKA’s next-generation operating system brings greater simplicity and flexibility to automation.

iiQKA.OS for digital manufacturing: operating system as virtual robot controller

Featured Innovation Stage Presentation

From Napkin Sketch to Lights-Out Logistics: Building Autonomous Material Handling Systems

Hear from Brendan Turner, KUKA Account Manager, Mobile Robotics, as he explores what it takes to move from an automation concept to a fully autonomous material handling solution. The session will cover AMR fleet management, equipment interfaces, software infrastructure and considerations for planning mixed fleets using VDA 5050 standards.
