Robots are still considered expensive and complicated. Franka Emika proves the opposite with its intelligent robot assistance system. SAP Business ByDesign supports the robotics specialist in driving innovative processes and growth.
Cloud ERP supports innovation and growth
For Franka Emika, it was clear that the cloud ERP solution SAP Business ByDesign was needed to promote innovative processes and growth. With its intelligent robot assistance system Franka Emika Robot, the Munich-based start-up proves that robots don’t necessarily have to be expensive and complicated – just like the right cloud ERP. Franka Emika Robot is the first sensitive and adaptive robotic arm in lightweight construction from Franka Emika. The intelligent assistant can learn motor skills autonomously and has a keen sense of touch. It can therefore also be used for tasks that require a high degree of precision and fine motor skills, such as sensitive plugging and screwing as well as tasks in the areas of testing, inspection and assembly. The motto is: “Making robots affordable and accessible for everyone.”
Goals on the way to the cloud
This project focused in particular on efficient growth management and automation.
Successfully managing growth
The number of employees has quadrupled since 2017. This growth must be managed in order to further optimize processes and remain agile.
Efficient cost control
In order to continue to create affordable robot technology, the costs must remain within reasonable limits.
Automation
the administrative processes
Instead of dealing with administrative processes, Franka Emika’s employees are to be given more time to develop new approaches and products in the field of robotics.
The Cloud ERP connects all business areas with each other and makes them very easy to manage.
