iiQKA.mxAutomation: Extension of the software interface makes automation even easier

2025-06-12

“Easy to use": even more flexibility through expansion

Seamless robot integration into complex production systems with the help of a central interface – this is how “easy to use” works. In a joint development process with the leading technology company Siemens, the iiQKA.mxAutomation interface from KUKA is now being expanded to include the SRCI industry standard. This extension ensures that robots from different manufacturers can be integrated into the PLC environment in a standardized way – regardless of the robot or PLC manufacturer.

The SRCI industry standard enables robots from different manufacturers to be integrated into the PLC environment.

This gives KUKA customers using iiQKA.mxAutomation even more flexibility in the intuitive, fast and simple configuration and operation of their robot systems. The established functions and libraries from the previous versions of mxAutomation can still be used as an alternative to SRCI.

iiQKA.mxAutomation is compatible with the KR C5 robot controller for iiQKA.OS2 and is therefore ideal for future-oriented production. KUKA robots can be connected to common PLC systems via the software interface, which enables the seamless integration of robotics without specific KUKA Engineering know-how. The central programming solution saves time and money, especially for companies that want to automate their production with little prior knowledge. iiQKA.mxAutomation with the SRCI extension will be available in the third quarter of 2025.

“Easy to use": KUKA's iiQKA.mxAutomation software interface including SRCI makes robot operation simple and intuitive.
