iiQWorks

iiQWorks is the all-in-one engineering suite for digital manufacturing. As a central platform, iiQWorks covers the entire customer journey in the automation process and enables smooth data exchange between all planning and production steps.

End-to-end digital engineering for automation

All in one: the comprehensive platform for the entire life cycle of a robot system

Offline programming (OLP) or virtual commissioning (VIBN) have become an integral part of digital manufacturing in the context of Industry 4.0. With the PC-based iiQWorks Engineering Suite, KUKA offers a seamless experience for end-to-end digital engineering. iiQWorks breaks down the silos between production steps - making the use of robots easier than ever. This applies equally to robot programmers, (virtual) commissioning engineers, technical sales engineers or project managers. In combination with the iiQKA.OS2 operating system, iiQWorks is your central platform for configuration, simulation and offline programming for KUKA robots and offers an easy introduction to robotics. Every step of the digital customer journey is guided by iiQWorks—from initial configuration and planning to commissioning and beyond.

With the digital twin, optimal brownfield and greenfield planning reduces costs and increases efficiency

The interplay between the new robot operating system iiQKA.OS2 and iiQWorks allows a complete digital twin of your KUKA robot system to be generated. Conduct feasibility studies, expand your existing systems or plan new systems: with the digital twin, brownfield and greenfield planning have never been so easy!

A focus on economic advantages:

  • Expansion of brownfield projects

    • Lower start-up costs, steeper start-up curve
    • Production interruptions reduced by up to 75%
    • On-site integration shortened by 66%
    • Project duration reduced by 10%
    • Earlier handover to the operator, including digital twin training 
    • Faster achievement of target OEE and production output
    • Prediction of energy consumption for for clear TOC insights

  • Greenfield planning of agile production systems

    • Commissioning costs for integration reduced by 80%
    • Earlier acceptance tests
    • Commissioning time reduced by 40%
    • Lower risk of delays
    • Less dependence on upstream and downstream processes
    • Better use of space on the production floor

iiQWorks.Sim: Schneller zum Ziel mit Simulationen

With the iiQWorks.Sim simulation software, you can easily program your KUKA robots offline, without interrupting production. The software for simulation, offline programming and virtual commissioning enables rapid optimization of your processes – for maximum reliability and efficiency!

iiQWorks.Sim Basic: 3D configuration with intuitive drag-and-drop

With the free iiQWorks.Sim Basic and the operating system iiQKA.OS2, we provide everything you need to configure and deploy a KUKA robot. This includes the configuration of fieldbuses, mapping of I/Os, TechPackages, SafeOperations and much more. Peripheral components (e.g. conveyor belts) can be added and configured in the 3D scene, including their signals (e.g. connecting a light barrier at the end of the conveyor belt).

iiQWorks.Sim Advanced: Powerful simulation environment for digital twins

The license-based iiQWorks.Sim Advanced is the complete simulation environment for KUKA robots, and thus everything that is needed for virtual commissioning. Among other things, it ensures full Roundload capability between the real robot controller and the simulation. Add as many robots to the scene as your hardware performance allows. You also have the option of connecting them to VRC instances.

The iiQWorks.Sim Advanced licenses are based on an annual license model. Connect to a real robot controller, download the instance and modify it directly in iiQWorks.Sim Advanced. It also includes advanced online functionality that allows you to analyze and modify programs directly on the robot controller.

Optimize production workflows offline with iiQWorks.Sim

iiQWorks.OptionPackageEditor: Efficient management of option packages

iiQWorks.OptionPackageEditor is a software package for creating and managing option packages. It allows advanced users to create new user-specific option packages or to adapt existing packages so that they can also be used in iiQWorks.Sim and in the iiQKA.OS2 operating system. The KUKA.OptionPackageEditor is relevant for the Virtual Robot Controller (VRC) and Robot Controller (RC), for example.
