The central iiQWorks software platform from my.KUKA Robotics streamlines the entire automation process, enabling smooth data exchange across all stages of planning and production. By leveraging digital twins, robot integration is now quicker and more efficient. With features like offline programming and virtual commissioning, iiQWorks delivers cutting-edge automation solutions that align with Industry 4.0 principles.
The iiQWorks Engineering Suite eliminates the barriers between different production steps and makes robots easier than ever to deploy – for programmers, start-up technicians, sales engineers and project managers alike. In combination with the new KUKA operating system iiQKA.OS2, iiQWorks allows one to create a complete digital twin of a KUKA robotic system. This enables someone, for example, to conduct feasibility studies, expand existing facilities, and plan new ones with high precision—whether for brownfield or greenfield projects.
Offline programming with the digital twin: efficient and flexible
The central element of the Engineering Suite is iiQWorks.Sim: With the simulation software, KUKA robots can be programmed offline – i.e. without access to a real robot. A digital twin provides a realistic simulation of the future application. This considerably simplifies the process of planning, designing and optimising the robotic cell. At the same time, users retain full control of the process in all phases.
The iiQWorks Engineering Suite provides numerous benefits, starting with its ability to ensure fast and reliable planning by centralizing all critical steps of the digital customer journey. From initial information gathering to the configuration and maintenance of in-house automation solutions, everything is seamlessly mapped in iiQWorks. Thanks to the digital twin, robot programs and cell layouts can be tested in advance for practical suitability, cycle times, and process stability. This approach accelerates time-to-market, giving businesses a clear competitive advantage.
Flexible software architecture for customised scaling
One of the standout features of iiQWorks is its highly flexible software architecture. The iiQWorks.Sim simulation software offers a modular system that can be tailored to meet specific needs, ranging from the free Basic version to advanced add-ons in the Extended version. Users only pay for the functions they require, and new modules can be easily added as needs evolve, without the need to overhaul the existing setup.
With iiQWorks, digitalisation in production is implemented in a practical and effective manner—from initial configuration and planning to virtual commissioning and beyond. KUKA now offers a solution for companies of all sizes to make their production processes more efficient and sustainable.
