Reliable automation – day by day, cycle by cycle

 
Whether powerful robots, driverless transport systems, flexible manufacturing cells, or fully networked production facilitiesour automation solutions stand for maximum precision, scalability, and future-proofing. Thanks to their modular design and standardized interfaces, they can be quickly integrated and perfectly adapted to existing production environments. The result: smooth processes, reduced downtime, and noticeably increased productivity – today and in the future.
 

How do modern automation solutions integrate into your existing production? 

We show you how your processes can be automated – and what specific improvements are possible.
 

Flexible automation: Standardized or customized – both are possible

Efficiency and speed are often crucial in industry. That is why the KUKA Group offers standardized automation solutions that can be implemented quickly and have proven themselves in many applications. They are ideal when short delivery times and ready-to-use systems are required.

But not every challenge can be overcome with an off-the-shelf solution. For complex or particularly specific requirements, we work with our partners to develop customized systems – precisely tailored to the individual processes and goals of our customers.

Our solutions are used across a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, consumer goods, food, e-commerce, medicine, and many more.

How do software and cloud-based digital services drive intelligent automation in mechanical engineering?

In mechanical engineering today, software is taking over tasks that used to be solved mechanically. Our Software solutions exploit the full potential of KUKA robots – networked, up-to-date, and available at all times. The KUKA digital sphere bundles the digital portfolio and optimally complements the hardware. This makes automation easier, faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

Data-based intelligence and AI analyze processes in real time, optimize workflows, and increase productivity. Predictive maintenance lowers costs, reduces downtime, and increases availability. The result: intelligent automation that makes production processes leaner and more efficient.

End-to-End Automation Solutions: Engineering. IoT. Self-Service. Expertise. 

We combine proven industrial automation with the latest technologies. Cloud-based applications create seamless, scalable, and integrated automation solutions – for connected production without limits. Our solutions support the entire lifecycle: from engineering to IoT integration and intuitive self-service platforms to personalized support from experienced experts.

Turning data into advantages – with iiQoT

With iiQoT, companies benefit from an intelligent IIoT platform that significantly simplifies the operation and maintenance of KUKA robots:

  • Real-time monitoring of all robot data – from hardware to control
  • Early fault detection through condition monitoring
  • Planned instead of unplanned downtime thanks to predictive maintenance
  • Anomaly detection and fault diagnosis

Discover how IoT enables optimal processes in industry.

How much can your company save in the area of fault analysis?  

Discover with our savings calculator the potential that condition monitoring with IIoT can unlock in your production. Enter the average values of your machines from the real production environment where KUKA iiQoT is to be used, and receive concrete insights into possible time and cost savings.

Result

The result is based on the possible reduction of unplanned robot downtimes by using the fault analysis of KUKA iiQoT. Input limits and averages are based on experience in the manufacturing industry. All savings are calculated using the content of the free KUKA iiQoT product range. All results consider a complete robot fleet (not per robot).

Note:

  • More time savings – Further time savings for employees in all fault analyses on a KUKA robot.

  • Shorter buffer times – Existing production downtime savings as soon as specified buffer time is not met. 

 

Further advantages:

  • Help for self-help – Better understanding of the KUKA robot and the process sequence through the transparency of iiQoT.

  • Easy connection to KUKA Customer Service – Transfer robot diagnostic files to KUKA in three clicks.

  • Quick understanding – Quick explanation through an intuitive user interface and setting options.

 

IMPORTANT: The KUKA iiQoT savings calculator serves as a rough guideline for the impact of robot-based automation. All calculations are based on figures from the experience of current customers. So all information is without warranty. Exact savings must be measured and calculated in detail with the customers.

Customer service that truly makes an impact – personalized. proactive. worldwide.

 

Every production site is unique – and our solutions are just as tailored. That’s why we design our global customer service precisely according to your requirements: from commissioning and installation to programming and far beyond. With our proactive approach, we detect and solve problems before they occur – so you can remain productive at all times.
