SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., August 1, 2025 – KUKA Robotics hosted its annual two-day KUKA Connexions occasion from July 21-23, 2025, in Palm Seaside, Florida. The occasion assembled official KUKA System Companions, integrators, and Know-how Companions from throughout North America to teach attendees on expertise and options that higher serve their clients and make automation simpler. Attendees skilled helpful networking alternatives, hands-on demonstrations with rising expertise, insightful panels from KUKA companions and keynotes that impressed them to enhance North American enterprise efficiencies by automation and AI.
KUKA System Companions play a central position in delivering superior automation options to producers throughout North America. As system integrators, these companions present trade experience whereas collaborating carefully with clients to evaluate their particular automation wants. These companions assist implement customized options that handle operational challenges and long-term development for KUKA clients by incorporating KUKA’s portfolio of modern robotics and Business 4.0 applied sciences.
KUKA’s superior autonomous cell robotic (AMR) and industrial robotic expertise had been showcased with buyer success tales from Assurant, MillerKnoll and AndyRobot, highlighting how KUKA automation permits profitable manufacturing and makes their functions attainable. Assurant, for instance, is ready to course of greater than 10 million refurbished telephones yearly in a single plant with the help of KUKA AMRs and industrial robots, whereas MillerKnoll makes use of cell automation from KUKA to assist its intralogistics operations.
Keynote displays on automation’s position in superior manufacturing got by among the foremost leaders in North American manufacturing and expertise. Representatives from NVIDIA, Microsoft and Nextracker supplied attendees with insights and experience on how automation will proceed to imagine an more and more dominant place throughout the board in manufacturing. Integrators serving the Tier 1 automotive trade additionally mentioned the present market of this sector and the way their partnership with KUKA strengthens their continued success in automotive manufacturing.
KUKA Connexions 2025 additionally supplied a platform to show a number of new KUKA expertise options, together with KUKA Simulation Assistant, KUKA Xpert AI, KR C5-2 controller and the iiQKA.OS2.
KUKA Simulation Assistant permits customers to shortly simulate and check new automation options and manufacturing processes with the help of synthetic intelligence (AI) by their my.KUKA buyer platform. Along with nearly validating and optimizing new processes, clients can even use their my.KUKA account to entry the AI-assisted KUKA Xpert, a data administration software that provides complete technical info particularly for service technicians, planners, programmers, operators and engineers alike.
KUKA’s iiQKA.OS2 combines the most effective of two worlds – the confirmed core of the KUKA.SystemSoftware (KSS) and the fashionable person interface with modular security – assembly necessary automation necessities by enabling the simulation of a number of robots and their peripherals. Backed by a long time of growth expertise and constructed with a recent tech stack utilizing the newest internet applied sciences, the brand new OS delivers expanded performance, enhanced person expertise, and streamlined workflows. It may additionally detect errors at an early stage attributable to its varied engineering capabilities akin to simulation, offline programming, and complete checks in a digital setting, making automation simpler by drastically lowering threat and its general value.
KUKA’s KR C5 industrial robotic controller brings most efficiency, connectivity, and suppleness to automation with seamless integration to present infrastructures. Its modular, space-saving design with straightforward set up and low power consumption ensures extremely environment friendly efficiency whereas concurrently conserving assets.
KUKA additionally hosted an awards banquet through the occasion to have fun its KUKA System Companions from Mexico, Canada and the US. FOCUS Integration, a robotic palletizing and automation firm situated in Westland, Michigan, obtained the award for Accomplice of the Yr for the North American area.
All KUKA automation options, together with these proven throughout KUKA Connexions, are backed by the corporate’s professional service and assist for coaching, full system engineering and simulation, available spare components, robotic refurbishment and extra, all of that are simply accessible by the my.KUKA.com website.
