KUKA Launches iiQKA.OS2 – Including Virtual Controller & AI Readiness
Introducing iiQKA.OS2, KUKA’s latest operating system—and it’s bringing some serious upgrades to the world of automation.
It’s scalable, customizable, and includes a full virtual robot controller, meaning you can simulate, test, and tweak without even powering up a real robot. Handy, right?
The new system is built with a web-based interface and supports your own devices, or the KUKA smartPAD—making setup and operation more intuitive than ever. It’s also cyber-resilient, so it’s ready for the connected factories of tomorrow.
Under the hood, iiQKA.OS2 blends KUKA’s trusted software core with modern tech and modular safety to meet the latest standards—including the upcoming ISO 10218:2025.
With tools like iiQWorks, you can simulate multiple robots, plan workflows, and avoid costly errors by testing everything virtually first. Plus, it supports all robot types—from nimble SCARAs to heavy-duty six-axis units.
And yes, if you want to ditch the teach pendant, you can just plug a tablet into the KUKA smartPLUG and start programming.
Smart, streamlined, and seriously capable—iiQKA.OS2 is KUKA’s leap into the future of industrial robotics.
