KUKA Helps Integrator Tackle Tough Automotive Project
In the competitive world of automotive manufacturing, innovation and reliability are key to maintaining production efficiency and meeting industry demands. HG Automation needed to overcome supply chain challenges and deliver a state-of-the-art automation system for a Tier 1 customer's new battery electric vehicle (BEV) component line.
Since 1937, Bulldog Factory Automation has been tailoring factory solutions that improve and make production more efficient.

In addition to a challenging timeline from design to delivery, the project had to meet cost and space requirements. “Essentially, we had to provide a cost-effective, smart solution with the right number of robots and technologies all deployed into as small a package as possible for our customer,” Burke said. “Once we got the customer’s specs, we went through a number of iterations, designing and redesigning the process to get a system that could output the right volume of parts.”
The solution: 86 KR QUANTEC robots
Assembly line complexity
Integration Support
Ease of Integration with KUKA.WorkVisual
The KUKA.WorkVisual engineering suite is a comprehensive tool for configuring, programming, and diagnosing KUKA robots. WorkVisual integrates all steps of the engineering process into a single interface for a seamless workflow. The suite allows users to program and simulate robot motions, test sequences, and optimize performance before deploying robots on the production floor. WorkVisuals’s intuitive design and extensive functionality significantly reduce setup times and improve overall operational efficiency.
A Successful Partnership
This project has been a great experience for us. KUKA and HGA have developed a solid relationship with one another, and we’ve even started leapfrogging into other areas as a partner in different solutions. That benefits both of our organizations.
