The project
STARTING POSITION
The KUKA AG was using its own calculation tool before the development and implementation of calcIT. The tool was coded hardly, and changes were only possible with a large development effort. A low-code system was sought to simplify this.
The corporation provided a specification book for the calculation tools. The abilis team aimed to develop a standard solution based on the requirements specified therein. The solution was designed to be industry independent and flexibly adjustable. With calcIT, abilis managed to create an extremely flexible solution that can realize individual and complex requirements.
Specific requirements
The KUKA now benefits from an extensive and flexible calculation, a clear authorization concept, price splitting, Excel and Word add-ins for the issuing of documents, import possibilities with mapping integrity, etc. By being web-based and multilingual, the tool can be used anywhere in the world. Simultaneous working is no problem with calcIT.
The added benefits of our solution
Software for the detailed calculation of complex and fully automated plants and robot cells
Automated offer creation
Faster creation of calculations and adjustments without bigger programming efforts
Highly complex calculation can be created independent of location, comprehensibly, and transparently
