Kumatech receives the first RWAAS solution from Valk Welding

Kumatech, a rapidly growing scale-up focused on being the “best buy AGVs and total solutions for internal logistics ”, has received the first RWAAS solution from Valk Welding. RWAAS stands for Robot Welding As A Service and offers a unique all-in service package from Valk Welding. For a predictable monthly fee, you have a welding robot system in production without any investment or an intensive long process. This includes all wear parts and even unlimited welding wire for the RWAAS robot system. The RWAAS robot system was delivered to Kumatech in the morning and was in production by the afternoon.

Why did Kumatech choose RWAAS?

Kumatech chose RWAAS instead of investing in purchasing a welding robot. The decision for RWAAS was made due to the company's rapid growth, optimising financial resources in this way. Within one day, the RWAAS solution was operational, allowing the company to continue its production and growth.
Upon signing up for RWAAS, Kumatech also gained access to the ARP powered by ArcNc software, which enables automatic robot programming. Thanks to the ARP powered by ArcNC software, programming a welding robot has been reduced from several hours to just 15 minutes. This is a significant time difference compared to traditional programming. Additionally, this concept offers a perfect trial period to later invest in purchasing their own welding robot, aiming to grow with the same team and invest in smart automation.

Advantages of the robot

The welding robot does not replace people but allows Kumatech to focus on more challenging tasks. Two employees, Joep and Teun, have completed operator and ArcNC training and can now fully program and operate the robot. By investing in RWAAS, Kumatech can quickly respond to small market demands and is not dependent on suppliers or finding manual welders.

Future vision

Kumatech strives for the “best buy” AGVs and is very cost-conscious with production resources. In the long term, they want to integrate more intelligence into the welding robot to ensure the company's quality and performance. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are no longer trends but essential parts of their strategy. ARP powered by ArcNC is a key element in this.

Kumatech looks forward to the next step of ARP powered by ArcNC, where small design changes and different product variants will be automatically recognised, analysed, and programmed without human interaction. They are pleased that Valk Welding is the first to bring this comprehensive concept to the market, which will help many companies take a significant step forward.
