Automation in the #foodindustry solves numerous challenges in the food service industry by reducing staff workload, simplifying hygiene management and ensuring consistently high quality. Since 2021, a smart employee has been supporting the team in the #canteen of online food retailer Ocado Retail. 🧑🍳🥗    The KR AGILUS is not only resilient and flexible, but also particularly fast. It combines different ingredients precisely and fills plates, eliminating long queues. This gives employees the opportunity to put together and serve individual dishes every day.    Find out why robots are being used in more and more restaurants and canteens, how they relieve processes and what KUKA has to do with it in this article by The Wall Street Journal: https://lnkd.in/gB8zzX2Y    #KUKA #KUKArobotics #automation #robots #HomeOfRobotik #KRAGILUS #gastronomy  

Meet Antonia Ritter, one of the remarkable women in robotics shaping the future at KUKA! “A pure office job is not for me. I also want to create things with my hands.” At KUKA, Antonia brings innovative robotic solutions such as the autonomous mobile robot KMR iisy to life. As part of an international development team, it fills her with particular pride when all the individual software and hardware components work together perfectly in the end. Antonia is the one who puts a new product into operation for the very first time. In her role as commissioning engineer, Antonia uses the AMR KMR iisy in customer production environments and showcases it at trade fairs around the world. She embodies the spirit of #innovation and the hands-on approach that define us at #HomeofRobotik.

On the occasion of World Brain Day on July 22, we would like to introduce you to our customer RONNA Medical, a medtech-company from Croatia that is establishing itself in the field of robotic neurosurgery. Based on the KUKA LBR Med, the robot-based system RONNA has been developed as an interactive neurosurgical robotic system to assist in the pre-operative phase. The system operates with high precision and is able to control any point on the patient's head with very high accuracy. RONNA is therefore suitable for use in targeted brain tumor surgery, biopsies and deep brain stimulation.   Learn more about the LBR Med and its integration into the neurosurgical robotic system: https://lnkd.in/dtM8nukX   #KUKA #KUKArobots #medicalrobotics #LBRMed #worldbrainday #HomeofRobotik

The KUKA headquarters was all about AI today 💡 At the internal #AI Day, our colleagues provided valuable insights into AI at KUKA. The KI Infomobile was also on site. The project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS), is being carried out by the Fraunhofer IAO and the Institute of Human Factors and Technology Management IAT at the Universität Stuttgart. The aim is to provide information about the areas of application and limitations of AI and to enable employees to actively and specifically help shape the introduction of the technology. Last but not least, #Microsoft was also on site to provide information about #Copilot in daily work. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event a success! #KUKA #KUKArobotics #automation #robots #HomeOfRobotik #artificialintelligence #innovation #Fraunhofer #AIinWorkplace

Passion for powertrain components The #Powertrain or powertrain is the centrepiece of every car. It is made up of all the components required to generate power for the drive in the vehicle. As a leading global provider of automation solutions with many years of experience, #KUKA specialises in assembly and testing solutions for all drivetrain components. Engine assembly is one of our specialisms: We develop and manufacture assembly systems for the production of: - Combustion engines, such as petrol or diesel engines (from pre-assembly to finished engines) - Electric drives (also with integrated EOL and / or test field) - Electric drive units (EDU), such as rotors etc. (pre-assembly) - As well as drives using synthetic fuels and hydrogen We offer customised automation solutions ranging from industrial robots to complete systems. We realise flexible and scalable manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic assembly systems for your production.

🍦 Ice Ice Baby: Palletizing in Extreme Cold! Our partner Darégal, for example, relies on KUKA robots to ensure the #coldchain of frozen herbs since 2021. 🧊🌿 Benefits? 1. Improving working conditions for employees 2. Increase the quality of pallet production 3. Ensure a consistent cold chain The KR QUANTEC PA Arctic is the world's first palletizing robots to operate at temperatures as low as -30 °C without a protective cover. This not only saves costs and heating energy, but also offers flexible and simple control.

Humans and robots: perfect #teamwork at Ford #Ford relies on human-robot collaboration (HRC) from KUKA to provide an ergonomic workplace for workers assembling headlights. The HRC solution makes it possible for robots and humans to work on the same vehicle at the same time, without any safety equipment. Two LBR iiwa cobots from KUKA take over the unergonomic adjustment of fog lights. At the same time, the operator can adjust the main headlights. Advantages of the HRC - Human + robot working in the tightest of spaces - Relief for the worker during ergonomically unfavorable activities - Improved adjustment quality of the fog lights - Saves time If you would like to find out more about KUKA's innovative automation solutions, you can find more information at the following link: https://lnkd.in/dZaEjMqF #KUKArobot #automation #automotiveindustry #HRC

KUKA is setting new standards in the metal industry: together with us, HS Automation GmbH has developed a material-friendly laser welding process for metal 3D printing based on the printer head of Meltio 🖨️   Our innovative 3D printing process significantly reduces both costs and labor in the production of metal parts. Together with a specially developed rotary tilting table from KUKA, the KR IONTEC enables the precise production of complex structures with hardly any material waste.   Our robot arm and the tilting table move in perfect synchronization and weld the 3D object layer by layer. Unlike conventional metal 3D printing, this advanced automation cell works completely without support structures.   Find out more about metal 3D printing with KUKA, the process and its benefits: https://lnkd.in/d5vX5u28   #KUKA #KUKArobotics #automation #robots #HomeOfRobotik #KRIontec #3DPrinting

Together with Fraunhofer IPA and our KR QUANTEC, we dismantle battery systems and can thus recycle valuable components. 🚙♻️     As part of the “DeMoBat” research project, we are looking at the future of the automotive industry, in particular the challenges surrounding electric car batteries. The more electric cars are produced, the more used batteries are produced. Dismantling these batteries is essential in order to be able to recycle the individual parts. 🛠️🔋    “Dismantling batteries poses three major challenges,” explains Anwar Al Assadi, group manager at Fraunhofer IPA. “Firstly, you need specially qualified specialists, because working with high-voltage technologies requires special and often time-consuming training. Secondly, manual disassembly is associated with a health risk due to the high voltage and dangerous gases, and in the worst case, self-ignition can occur. And thirdly, dismantling by hand takes a very long time and is correspondingly cost-intensive. This often makes recycling seem unprofitable at the moment.”     This is where our robot-based solution comes into its own. Our KR QUANTEC helps to reduce the shortage of skilled workers, minimize the safety risk and improve the cost-effectiveness of battery recycling. 🦾    #KUKA #KUKArobotics #automation #robots #HomeOfRobotik #emobility #recycling
