In future, UR's cobots will be easier to integrate into complex systems and production lines: The company is working on integrating them into the TIA Portal from Siemens. This will make it easier to include them in the condition monitoring of systems, among other things.

Fuzzy Logic Robotics is announcing the first version of the Fuzzy Studio software platform for the Hannover Messe 2021 - a product designed to enable robots to be used more flexibly in production.

followed up! - with Helmut Schmid, DRV
At the beginning of the year, Helmut Schmid co-founded the German Robotics Association. We asked him why a new association is needed and how the DRV is fighting the prejudice that robot automation is expensive and complicated.
Like the market as a whole, Kuka also felt the massive impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Although there were slight signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2020, these were unable to compensate for the slumps in the first half of the year and the fourth quarter.

Drive specialist Hiwin is a partner in the UR+ ecosystem, giving the cobots greater reach with a 7th mechanical axis.
