KUKA establishes new software and digital business segment

Software is playing an increasingly important role in mechanical engineering. What used to be mostly solved mechanically is now done by electronics and the associated software. "With KUKA Digital, we are expanding our offering in order to position ourselves broadly for a market with strong growth potential. Our customers need products, solutions and consulting approaches to digitalize faster, more efficiently and more easily," says Quirin Goerz, KUKA Chief Information Officer and CEO of the newly founded digital segment. KUKA is working on expanding the digital world beyond robot and automation solutions and thus driving forward the digitalization of industry across the entire production lifecycle. 

Specifically, KUKA's digital segment is focusing on a software and digital portfolio that is not limited to KUKA robots. Regardless of machine type and man-ufacturer, customers should be able to use software solutions for their production machines and thus digitalize their production halls from end to end. This involves interfaces, data standards, cloud integration and consulting services. In line with an ecosystem approach, KUKA also relies on a network of competent partners.

mosaixx thus lays the foundation for end-to-end digitalization - from planning to subsequent application. mosaixx will be presented to the public for the first time at a digital and software event on November 7 at the KUKA headquarters in Augsburg, Germany.
