Your benefits at a glance
- Faster time-to-market for your application
- Standards compliance through continuous development
- Clock-synchronized integration of the robotics into the machine control system
- Broad range of robots that have already been integrated
- Services that support your development work
Hardware & software fit together perfectly
A single control system runs up to 16 robots that are clock-synchronized with your machine logic. KeMotion makes this possible: This high-performance platform combines the robotics kernel, PLC + motion, control + drives, safety technology and HMI.
The communication between hardware, software, machine and robot happens directly and in real time. In the control system, intelligent algorithms provide high-precision, path-accurate motion at the physical limit.
You decide which KeMotion functions are useful for you, and which you ones you prefer to develop yourself. The modular software platform allows you to pick and choose whatever works best for you.
Basic functions like field bus interfaces, IOS system, signaling system, safety technology or user management are conveniently available from our platform.
You integrate your know-how quickly and easily in KeMotion. This saves time, money and effort.
By the way: By investing in KeMotion, you are investing in your future at the same time. We expand and integrate standards and new functions with every new version. These become immediately available to you with every update. And the expanded networking with Industry 4.0-enabled devices is already built in. A large number of standardized interfaces help you on your path to digitization.
Turnkey solutions and flexibility. We do both.
KeMotion is the future-proof automation solution for robots and machines - either as a turnkey, ready-to-use system or as a highly customizable system tailored to your individual needs. Our experts are by your side from the first idea to your solution.
Quick and easy to use with robots and machines
Leadership through high-end technology functions
KeMotion turns robots into a fixed component of the machine. It has never been this easy: One or multiple robot kinematics – clock-synchronized with a machine without additional latency times or communication drivers – can be controlled using drag&drop in the familiar tool landscape.
KeMotion combines the PLC, motion, robotics, drive technology, safety technology and the HMI in a single compact system.
We can assist you in the development of your own robot kinematics or draw on a broad range of robot mechanisms from our partners.
Your complete solution for machine and robot automation
Flexible and individualized: Integrate your know-how
Decide for yourself which KEBA functions you wish to use, and which functions you prefer to develop yourself. The modular software platform provides developers with a broad range of options for integrating their own know-how into the control system. This allows you to protect your know-how and re-use existing expertise.
You can use ready-made basic functions like field bus interfaces, IO system, signaling system, security or user management that are conveniently available from our platform. Then you import your own know-how, for example about your process. This saves time and money, which you can then invest in the solutions themselves – to help you stand out in the market.

Open Linux-based control solution:
Human-robot interaction
How can we ensure the safety of people who interact with the robot? We have been concerned with safe robotics for years.
Our safety solution today complies with the TS 15066 machinery directive. We added a framework to our robotics kernel that contains all functionality needed to implement safe human-robot interaction or human-robot collaboration. In particular with regard to HRI applications, issues like safe standstill, distance monitoring, power limitation and force limitation or manual guiding play an important role. We can offer a broad range of options in this area.
In addition, we are seeing very promising results in our pilot projects in the field of high-payload robotics. These confirm our approach to solving the future of human-robot interaction with a delicate touch.
