KUKA Group has begun deploying its KUKA AMP open orchestration platform within North American automotive production, starting with operations in Ohio. The platform integrates existing automation hardware with AI technologies to enable real-time decision-making and autonomous mobile robot support. Marc Fleischmann, KUKA’s Chief Software and AI Officer, stated the platform provides a foundation for “Physical AI,” allowing industrial automation to improve through continuous data analysis.

Following this deployment, KUKA Robotics is expanding its visibility in the U.S. market by demonstrating industrial robot applications for the food and packaging sectors at Pack Expo in Chicago. In collaboration with various partners, the company is showcasing robotic case erecting, material handling, and palletizing cells, utilizing the LBR iisy cobot and the iiQKA.OS robot operating system to create automated workflows.
