Miele is set to intensify its strategic cooperation with the Korean robotics specialist Yujin. The company is currently producing the jointly developed Scout robovac for Miele. The common goal of the two companies is furthermore to open up new applications in the field of robotics. To this end, Yujin is increasing its equity and, as part of this, the Miele Group is injecting capital to the tune of 40 million euro. Yujin Robot was founded in 1988 in the Korean capital Seoul. The company develops, produces and markets robotic products and components for use in households, businesses, logistics and further applications. Today, Yujin records an annual turnover of 45 million euro. The partnership between the two companies dates back to 2012 and the joint development of a robovac for domestic use. Meanwhile, the Miele Scout RX1 has established itself in the marketplace since 2014. Now Miele proposes the successor, Scout RX2, with a three-fold increase in suction power, finer-tuned navigation and useful features such as the transmission of live images. The Scout RX2, too, was jointly developed by the two partners and is produced by Yujin.
