About Tekrob
TEKROB GmbH is a company specialized in automation technology, headquartered in Neckarsulm. Since the founding of TEKROB Solutions in 2006 by Baris Tekdogan, renamed TEKROB GmbH on 30.11.2009, the company has implemented integrated automation solutions for industry. The portfolio includes robot programming and commissioning (KUKA, ABB, Stäubli, FANUC, Motoman), PLC programming, simulation and offline programming with RobCAD and Process Simulate, virtual commissioning, and robot applications such as spot welding, arc welding, stud welding and laser welding, riveting, clinching, bonding and flanging. In addition, handling applications, inline measuring systems, RFID systems for automated warehousing, bus system integration (INTERBUS, PROFIBUS, PROFINET), special machine engineering such as the 7-axis gantry Rack Automation System, as well as plant relocation including disassembly, transport and reassembly. A test laboratory (Plant 2) is used to test control elements before commissioning at the customer's site. Key industries are the automotive industry with customers such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, VW, Porsche, Ford and Mini, as well as engine manufacturing, body construction, the food industry, forklift manufacturing and metalworking. In addition to the headquarters and Plant 2 in Neckarsulm, Tekrob maintains locations in Başiskele/Kocaeli (Turkey) and Puebla (Mexico).
