KUKA is already proving how diverse the possibilities and how great the potential are. Even outside of industry. Welcome to the wonderful world of automation!

Strong in the crafts

According to the World Robotics Report, there are 346 industrial robots per 10,000 employees in the German manufacturing sector. More and more SME workshops in Germany are also using the “robot colleague” in their day-to-day work.
