As someone who works in manufacturing, I always enjoy seeing the inside of factories. (On a side-note, I was surprised to see so many ABB robots - made in Sweden - when Kuka robots are made in Germany...) Thanks for an excellent write up and pictures.

Kuka is a product of VW(I think). I believe that is why you see ABB.

We did see some Kuka 'bots, but most were ABB.
