May 1, 2017—Global automation corporation KUKA recently announced that it has partnered with BEET LLC. KUKA will now be able to leverage BEET’s industrial IoT technology. With this technology, KUKA’s customers will have access to Original Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and may be able to lower maintenance costs.

"Leveraging BEET Analytics proprietary technology, KUKA will create and offer completely new services and applications for customers," said Larry Drake, CEO at KUKA Systems Group.

KUKA feels its joint venture with BEET will allow for improved data transparency in shop floor digital services, which could allow for improvements in areas such as cycle time.
