„Automation to suit your taste - Create your own automation solution“
This is the motto under which KEBA will be presenting its comprehensive, flexible and open robot and automation solutions at automatica 2025. This year, the full-service provider for industrial automation, headquartered in Linz, Austria, is placing particular emphasis on customized solutions.
Visitors to the KEBA stand will be able to design individual automation solutions together with our experts. Similar to putting together a burger, the components from the Kemro X product and service portfolio can be combined in a variety of ways to create holistic solutions. Thanks to the open interfaces, third-party components can also be integrated into Kemro X - our platform for industrial automation - as additional “ingredients”.
The many possible combinations and the flexibility of the platform are the greatest advantages of Kemro X. Customers can put together their automation solutions as they wish from our portfolio and refine them with their own “ingredients”. Alternatively, they can ask our experts to recommend a customized solution - similar to a chef's recommendation*.
*At KEBA, we only use the highest quality components and adapt them to our customers' wishes.
The KEBA team will be presenting the following “ingredients” and recipes for individual robot and automation solutions at the trade fair stand:
KeMotion - The high-end technology for your robotics
KeMotion is the high-performance technology module of the Kemro X automation platform. The robotics solution from KEBA consists of a robot control, operator terminals, software, drive technology and safety technology, in accordance with current standards and directives.
- Open, modular, scalable system architecture
- Robot engineering tools
- Digital twin
- ISO 10218
- Adaptive path planning
- Standardized interfaces - from real-time Linux to modern web APIs
Demonstration: AI Language & Vision
Artificial intelligence has long been more than just a future trend - it is already an integral part of industrial practice. At automatica in Munich, KEBA Industrial Automation is showcasing practical applications of artificial intelligence in industrial environments. The presentation highlights how AI can be seamlessly integrated into control processes – for example, in real-time object detection and tracking, as well as in recognizing and processing voice commands. The KEBA AI Development Kit, which has been specially developed for industrial applications, will also be presented. This kit enables the simple integration of AI into existing automation systems and is tailored to the requirements of the industrial environment.
Cognibotics and KEBA: New paths in robotics and automation
When Cognibotics - known as a deep tech company in robotics - meets the automation and robotics specialist KEBA, a new approach to the development of industrial robots and automation solutions is created: flexible, open and future-oriented. The open robotics platform KeMotion is used in high-end products such as the HKM-1800 robot from Cognibotics - a convincing example of the openness and flexibility of KEBA technology.
This year, Cognibotics will co-exhibit Juliet&Romeo® - a novel solution for programming robots and automation systems - at the KEBA booth. This innovation represents a strategic advance for companies that want to increase their flexibility, reduce downtime and shorten their time-to-market.
Juliet&Romeo® features an intuitive design that enables both experienced engineers and newcomers to create, modify and optimize robotics and automation processes faster than ever before. It sets new standards in programming: accelerated commissioning, smoother processes, easier code reusability and an outstanding user experience. Juliet&Romeo® thus finally brings IT (information technology) into OT (operational technology).
At the joint KEBA and Cognibotics stand, visitors will experience Juliet&Romeo® live in action - and learn how advanced robotics and intelligent automation are now accessible to everyone, from experts to beginners.
Kemro X demonstration - automation solutions to suit your taste
KEBA Industrial Automation focuses on holistic solutions, digitalization and artificial intelligence. The versatile product portfolio is expressed in Kemro X - the open and flexible platform for industrial automation. The Kemro X live demonstration clearly shows how these technologies can be used in practice. The hardware and software components from the Kemro X product and service portfolio can be combined easily and in a variety of ways. Using the example of an end-of-line solution from packaging technology, KEBA presents products and technologies for plant engineering, robotics, and mechanical engineering – combining real-world applications with digital twins. The AE 550 AI module enables the use of AI algorithms in the Kemro X system. It integrates AI directly into existing control systems, for example for object recognition, which can then be used in PLC or robot control systems for object handling.
Technical highlights of the Kemro X demonstration:
- Drive technology
KeDrive is the flexible, safe servo drive system for modular machines.
- KeDrive D3: Compact multi-axis drive system with efficient energy exchange and integrated safety technology
- KeDrive D3-AC: Compact all-in-one solution for up to three axes - with AC input and integrated mains filter
- KeDrive D5-Micro: Compact and flexible servo drive for safety extra-low voltage applications - ideal for machine manufacturers and device engineers
- AI module
The AE 550 AI module enables the integration of AI algorithms into existing control systems, for example for object recognition and manipulation via PLC or robot control.
- Safe Wireless
KeTop T150/T155: Wireless machine operation via Bluetooth - open for all control systems, with optional operating area monitoring.
- Integrated robotics in packaging
The interactive Delta robot from autonox demonstrates outstanding flexibility. The digital simulation of a multi-robot system (four robots on one controller) optimizes the material flow. Our robotics solution offers machine manufacturers high performance, comprehensive simulation capabilities and up to 15 % more machine output compared to standard solutions.
Simple operation with drag&bot
Another highlight is the live demonstration of drag&bot. This intuitive robot operation enables machine and system manufacturers to seamlessly integrate standard industrial robots into existing user interfaces. As a result, users can later operate and convert the systems independently without the need for robot experts. In addition, drag&bot supports the interfaces of all standard industrial robots on the market, ensuring maximum compatibility and simple integration.
New from KEBA: Safe encoder box EnDat 2.2 (ISO 10218)
In addition to the safe encoder box for Hyperface encoders, the safe encoder box for EnDat 2.2 is now also available. The safety-certified encoder box enables the evaluation of six safe encoders simultaneously - ideal for flexible machine and robot systems. Communication with the robot control takes place via the FSoE safety protocol. This opens up KEBA even further to a wide range of safe robotics solutions. The extension to EnDat 2.2 now also enables safe robotics solutions for open-arm robots from Comau. Both solutions create more flexibility in robotics projects and help to reduce wiring effort, complexity and costs.
