01History
Visual Components was founded in 1999, in Helsinki, Finland. The company's first product was a layout configuration and visualization tool for JOT Automation, a Finnish automation solution supplier. In December 2017, Visual Components was acquired by German automation conglomerate KUKA AG. Following the acquisition, KUKA announced that Visual Components would continue to support and expand its list of robot models. It currently supports over 1,200 models from more than 30 brands. Visual Components and KUKA have since released additional software in the fields of robot simulation, programming and 3D design.
In November 2022, it was announced Visual Components had acquired the robotics division of Delfoi, an international provider of robot offline programming (OLP) software solutions. This acquisition led to the development of the Robotics OLP products, which were released in September 2023.
