Core Viewpoint - KUKA China launched multi-scenario automation solutions during the 2025 Industrial Expo, targeting five key industries: aerospace, automotive, new energy, medical, and education, aiming to enhance industrial transformation and enable lean and flexible manufacturing [1]. Aerospace Industry - The aerospace manufacturing sector faces challenges such as production efficiency bottlenecks, quality consistency issues, and lengthy production line construction cycles. KUKA introduced a high-precision assembly system that integrates CoboManip robotic arms, sealing glue coating systems, and quality inspection modules for full automation from component handling to fuselage assembly, achieving a positioning accuracy of 0.05mm and a payload capacity of 125kg [4][5]. - KUKA's Quantec-2 series industrial robots, in conjunction with linear guides and AMR mobile robots, facilitate automated assembly and smart logistics for heavy components. The omniMove omnidirectional mobile platform, capable of carrying up to 90 tons, significantly enhances space utilization and operational efficiency [5][6]. Automotive Industry - KUKA has decades of experience in the automotive sector, providing flexible manufacturing systems that cover stamping, welding, painting, assembly, and new energy production lines. The Quantec-2, Fortec-2, and Titan-2 series robots have payload ranges from 100kg to 1500kg, showcasing significant advantages in size and performance [7]. - The automotive automation solutions incorporate advanced technologies such as ServoGun spot welding, BestFit door installation, and LaserTech laser processing, along with AI-driven 3D collision avoidance and adaptive installation modules, creating a high-speed, stable, and adaptable smart manufacturing loop [8][9]. New Energy Industry - In the new energy sector, KUKA provides end-to-end solutions for battery production, including cell synthesis, module assembly, and PACK processes, with the Quantec-2, Fortec-2 ultra, and SCARA robots offering high precision and rapid iteration capabilities. The demand for production robots is rapidly evolving due to the increasing penetration rate of new energy vehicles [12][13]. - KUKA's solutions also cater to solid-state and hydrogen fuel cell production, with a stacking system achieving ±0.02mm precision, significantly improving stack consistency and overall yield rates through AI visual inspection and adaptive systems [13][15]. Medical Industry - The medical sector faces challenges in cost control, operational efficiency, quality assurance, and patient satisfaction. KUKA, through its subsidiary Swisslog, offers smart medical solutions that cover new drug development, laboratory testing, factory production, in-hospital logistics, and surgical assistance systems [16][18]. - The Swisslog hospital logistics system includes track-based transport, box logistics, pharmacy automation, and medical waste management, achieving one-stop intelligent management of materials, with applications in over 850 hospitals globally [18][19]. Education Industry - KUKA's education initiatives focus on "industry-education integration," creating a new ecosystem for talent development. The program includes the introduction of German original textbooks and 51 core courses covering production technology maintenance, design management, and IT programming [25][26]. - The "New Craftsman Star" training camp aims to establish a dual-track pathway for internships and employment, enhancing collaboration between schools and enterprises, and fostering high-quality technical talent for the digital transformation of manufacturing [28][29]. Overall Impact - KUKA's automation solutions span critical sectors from aerospace to education, deeply integrating into the global high-end manufacturing system. As a core driver of Industry 4.0 evolution, KUKA is committed to empowering enterprises for smart manufacturing, flexible production, and digital management, while fostering a cross-industry collaborative ecosystem for sustainable development [30].
