VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, Feb 25, 2025 – Dassault Systèmes has announced its partnership with KUKA to provide manufacturing industries with inclusive solutions that meet growing demands in robotics and automation.
Dassault Systèmes will join mosaixx, KUKA’s platform for industrial software solutions. The partnership makes it simpler for KUKA customers to buy and use Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its applications. By expanding customer access to virtual twin technology and better collaboration tools, Dassault Systèmes and KUKA, with its new segment KUKA Digital, can help companies create more flexible solutions that improve their operations.
The global market value of industrial robot installations is estimated at $16.5 billion, driven by AI, energy efficiency, and other trends. With more than four million industrial robots operating in factories worldwide in 2024, the annual number of installations in 2026 is expected to increase to 718,000.
The KUKA Group launched mosaixx in 2024 as an open cloud platform for industrial software. The platform supports collaboration in a growing market. It gives system integrators and engineers access to various solutions that enhance the digitalization and automation of factory floors and production machines. The approach is ecosystem-focused and works with any machine type or manufacturer.
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform and applications are used across the industrial equipment industry worldwide to design, simulate, and engineer products, processes, and infrastructure virtually with real-time data before producing or implementing them physically.
“Our collaboration with Dassault Systèmes enables us to expand our mosaixx portfolio with industry-leading virtual twin technology. Engineers can carry out simulations and analyses with real-time data while streamlined collaboration empowers system integrators with flexible applications for enhanced adaptability and innovation,” said Quirin Goerz, CEO, KUKA Digital.
“By partnering with KUKA, we can offer streamlined access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and our many applications such as CATIA, DELMIA and SOLIDWORKS. This will open up new possibilities for customers to benefit from the virtual world and collaborate and innovate in diverse sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, metalworking, logistics, healthcare and more,” said Gian Paolo Bassi, senior vice president, customer role experience, Dassault Systèmes.
