In 1898, Johann Joseph Keller and Jakob Knappich founded an acetylene gas plant for street lighting, laying the foundation for an international technology group. 125 years later, KUKA is helping to shape the working world of the future worldwide – and is celebrating a special anniversary with customers, partners, and employees. Circular knitting machines, garbage vehicles, travel typewriters: over the decades, KUKA has repeatedly reinvented itself completely, so that 125 years after its founding, only the telegram abbreviation “Keller und Knappich Augsburg”, or KUKA for short, reminds us of the company’s beginnings in Augsburg.
The best gate safeguard or access control is worthless if unauthorised access to your machine is possible via the network. A holistic safety concept is required, which considers both machinery safety and industrial security. If security gaps should arise, then loss of quality and unplanned machine downtimes are two of the potential scenarios. So it’s all the more important to protect plant and machinery in such a way that only authorised personnel have access and tampering with the control systems via attacks from outside is prevented.
