Miller Electric Mfg. Co., a member of the Wisconsin trade delegation that attended Hannover Fair 2016, has signed a memorandum of understanding with KUKA Robotics to cooperate in each company’s respective markets to deliver Industry 4.0 arc welding technologies.
The Insight Centerpoint™ 9.0 solution from Miller provides real-time welding process control for automated welding systems and KUKA is a market leader in robotics and automation.
Tim Temby, group president of Miller’s parent company, Illinois Tool Works Inc., said, “KUKA and Miller have worked together to make the integration process between our equipment fast and easy. We have created packages that provide everything needed for automated arc welding applications.”
The goal of the memorandum of understanding, according to Stefan Lampa, CEO of KUKA Robotics in Germany, is to increase operational efficiency for each company’s customers with arc strike robots.
Mark Hogan, secretary and chief executive officer of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), which organized the trade mission and provided support to participating Wisconsin delegation members and exhibitors, said, “Increasing the global adoption of technologies developed by Wisconsin companies is a primary objective of WEDC’s international business development ventures. The partnership formed between Miller Electric and KUKA today underscores the healthy trade relationship Wisconsin enjoys with Germany and demonstrates the strong potential for new business opportunities for Wisconsin companies in overseas markets.”
Hogan was joined by U.S. Department of Commerce Deputy Under Secretary for International Trade Kenneth Hyatt in observing the memorandum signing, which incorporated this video demonstration of Miller Electric’s and KUKA’s products working together to digitize and weld Temby’s and Lampa’s signature on an actual shop floor.
