KUKA

KUKA is an industrial automation supplier headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, that builds robot arms, autonomous mobile robots and production systems for manufacturers looking to standardize and modernize their production lines. The company operates in more than 50 countries with roughly 14,500 employees and around 4 billion euro in annual sales.

Its portfolio spans industrial robots across a range of payload capacities, an AMR line for internal logistics, and the iiQWorks engineering software suite that covers planning through commissioning; a fleet calculator helps customers size AMR deployments, and a friction stir welding process supports battery housing production. Target industries include automotive, electronics, battery manufacturing, e-commerce logistics, consumer goods, metalworking, healthcare and construction.

1. Industrial robot arms: multiple payload classes for welding, assembly, handling and machining tasks.

2. Autonomous mobile robots: an AMR line moves materials through factory and warehouse floors.

3. iiQWorks software suite: covers engineering, simulation and commissioning in one digital workflow.

4. AMR fleet calculator: helps size the number and type of robots needed for a facility.

5. Friction stir welding: joins battery housing components without traditional melting-based welding.

6. Cross-industry reach: solutions serve automotive, electronics, battery, logistics and healthcare plants.
