KUKA Offers “Circular Services” to Extend Robot Lifespans and Improve Resource Efficiency

KUKA offers “Circular Services” to extend robot lifespans and improve resource efficiency.

What happened

KUKA says it can extend robot lifespans, reduce investment costs and improve resource efficiency by using refurbished parts and reprocessing used robots. The company also says it is working to reuse packaging materials in a circular system.

Why it matters

KUKA’s “Circular Services” is a maintenance service designed to keep existing robots in use longer through refurbished parts and the reprocessing of used robots. Along with the continued supply of spare parts, it relates to securing components and maintaining operational flexibility when older models remain in production for the long term.
