CNC Robotics and KUKA are continuing to deliver collaborative expertise and competencies as their Platinum partnership renewal marks the 11th year of affiliation.

KUKA initiated a tiered system partner programme to establish strategic partnerships intended to bring in-depth knowledge of automated applications and specialist industry skills to the benefit of customers across all UK manufacturing sectors.

CNC Robotics is an integral member of the KUKA programme which is well established and growing. The diverse partner portfolio of silver, gold and platinum partners brings specialist skills and knowledge in all market sectors to the table for customers requiring automated equipment integration.

It’s often a big step for companies (especially those new to automation) to commit to a robotic based system. Significant considerations such as cost, capability and reliability are key deciding factors that must be substantiated prior to any financial commitment.

CNC Robotics is championing the use of industrial robots as an alternative to traditional manufacturing tools, with a focus on improving productivity and implementing operational resilience for customers.

“Substantial challenges have been felt within UK manufacturing over the course of the last two years with ever niche and diverse applications coming to the fore as manufacturers contend with depleting skilled labour pools and increases in demand not seen before. Such challenges are met with a passion for problem-solving by the CNC Robotics team,” explained managing director Philippa Glover.

“KUKA’s robots have been at the core of our offering due to the team's customer-centric approach, and intelligent and innovative solutions." 

One of just six Platinum partners, CNC Robotics has a firm grasp on the characteristics of the KUKA hardware, periphery and capabilities, so is fully conversant across the company’s portfolio.

“The collaborative expertise that KUKA and CNC Robotics can deliver opens doors to potential customers which are ultimately our combined goal for lasting commercial relationships,” said Bernard Bagley, head of robot sales (general industry) KUKA UK. “Bespoke engineering can be expensive, but the partnership dictates we can provide our customers with a better solution at a more favourable cost.”
