Simulation Event by KUKA and Visual Components 29th April 2026

Rethinking Simulation – Live at the KUKA Headquarters KUKA and Visual Components cordially invite you to an exclusive in-house simulation event: From Material Flow to Offline Robot Programming.

The future of industrial planning starts here.

Experience how cutting-edge simulation technologies are redefining production processes — from the very first layout concept to intelligent offline robot programming. At this exclusive in-house event hosted by KUKA and Visual Components, you’ll gain hands-on insights, discover real-world use cases, and engage directly with leading experts in digital manufacturing. Step into a world where efficiency, transparency, and planning reliability are elevated to an entirely new level.

The future of industry is built where vision meets precision. With the power of virtual simulation, KUKA and Visual Components are creating an environment where ideas transform into reality faster, smarter, and more sustainably. This event showcases how we are jointly shaping the next era of intelligent manufacturing.

Want to know more – get in touch with us @ Simulation Event

After your registration you will get deeper information about the event, accomodation, travel, and more. We are happy to see you at our simulation event.

Manufacturing increasingly depends on how well organizations connect strategy, engineering, and execution. Visual Components brings production line design, manufacturing process simulation, and robot offline programming into one integrated workflow. At this event, we will demonstrate through real customer cases and practical examples how this connected approach works in practice, and how our new 5.0 release strengthens it further.
