As an all-around heavy industry manufacturer, we have cultivated fundamental technologies, engineering capabilities, and the DNA of an innovator &#8211; all of which are epitomized in Kawasaki robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, our Technology Development Headquarters, a think tank for the entire Kawasaki group, is actively developing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT\/ICT. New solutions are also emerging. Our autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and K-Repros, an AI-powered resource sorting support system, are the results of our combined technology acquired from robotics development with advanced technologies. The technology of a comprehensive engineering company fosters robots, and the technology created by robots is also helping to innovate new manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1755\" height=\"1241\" src=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/tachyon\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/industrial-robots_13.jpg?fit=900%2C900\" alt=\"Engineering Capabilities of Kawasaki Heavy Industries\" class=\"wp-image-3676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/tachyon\/sites\/6\/2022\/02\/industrial-robots_13.jpg?resize=1755%2C1241&amp;zoom=1 1755w, https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/tachyon\/sites\/6\/2022\/02\/industrial-robots_13.jpg?resize=1755%2C1241&amp;zoom=0.5 878w, https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/tachyon\/sites\/6\/2022\/02\/industrial-robots_13.jpg?resize=1755%2C1241&amp;zoom=0.25 439w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1755px) 100vw, 1755px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-xtra-small-font-size\">Kawasaki Heavy Industries is applying the vast knowledge, technologies, and engineering capabilities cultivated through extensive manufacturing to robot development.

By deploying Kawasaki robots in our diverse manufacturing sites, we are able to verify usability and make improvements from the user&#8217;s perspective. Another feature of Kawasaki Heavy Industries is that it has a function of a system integrator within the company. This allows us to look at robots as systems rather than individual components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deployment of a robot system does not end with the installation. Support and follow-up services, including regular maintenance and inspections, responding to problems, improvements, and overhaul, are essential for long-term reliable use. In 1986, Kawasaki Heavy Industries established Kawasaki Robot Service Co., Ltd. (formerly Kawasaki Robotics, Ltd.), a company specializing in system upgrades, maintenance, and after-sales services. Our team of experts will be there for you throughout the life of your Kawasaki robot, from installation to operation, maintenance, and renewal, ensuring reliable operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Related Pages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/asia-oceania\/automation\/\">&#8220;<strong>Benefits of production line automation<\/strong>&#8220;<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/asia-oceania\/industrial-robots\/\"><strong>&#8220;The basics of industrial robots<\/strong>&#8220;<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/asia-oceania\/industrial-robots\/\">&#8220;<strong>Important steps of the robot deployment<\/strong>&#8220;<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/asia-oceania\/products\/\"><strong>&#8220;Products&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull site-cta is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group site-cta__inside is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"site-cta__text\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kawasaki-corporate.spiral-site.com\/ind_robot_uk?_ifbs-ind_robot_uk=s1_Step1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Customer Support<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kawasaki Heavy Industries was one of the first companies to manufacture and sell industrial robots in Japan, the world\u2019s predominant robot manufacturing country.
