Robot Guide from KUKA streamlines the automation process

KUKA has released the Robot Guide, designed to help manufacturers apply the right automation to specific application needs. In three steps, users are presented with robot options based on their industry, application, and environment.

Within the guide, users can choose from a variety of industries, including automotive, food and beverage, medical, plastics, electronics, and metal, and then drill down to almost any application environment. Users also can indicate whether the robot will work autonomously in an isolated environment or collaboratively with humans.

From there, users can select case studies, application videos, white papers, parameters, and details of each suggested robot’s technical specifications, including payload, reach, and mounting positions, providing an instant recommendation walk-through without entering a sales consultation.
