Customers will be able to discuss their projects with engineers from KUKA and HepcoAutomation at KUKA’s Wednesbury headquarters, where they will also see robots in action.

HepcoAutomation will provide the necessary integration, including installation, training and customer support in conjunction with KUKA.
