Why HORST?

With maintenance-free robots, an intelligent, fully integrated robot operating system and a comprehensive ecosystem, your automation will be up and running immediately – up to 70% faster operationally and with about 85% less planning effort.

6-year warranty on engine and transmission

Our robotic systems are equipped with a unique, maintenance-free gear technology and extremely durable spherical bearings – for reliable, long-term operation without failures. Precise stepper motors ensure that HORST works efficiently and cost-effectively.

Fast implementation without experts

Up to 75% faster to deploy: With AI-driven software and real-time simulations, we significantly reduce your programming and commissioning effort compared to conventional solutions. 

Minimal planning effort

Up to 85% faster than usual: We save you a large part of the project planning time with preconfigured automation modules and plug-and-play components. Our modules and components can be seamlessly integrated into the robot and controlled via a single point of control without an additional PLC. 

Low maintenance and service costs

On average 50% lower than for other robots: The innovative, maintenance-free drive train of our robots halves your maintenance costs. In the long term, you save costs and produce efficiently without maintenance interruptions.

Minimal downtime through real-time support

Around 95% lower than the market average: An integrated AI assistant helps you immediately with questions about errors and supports you in use and optimization. You can use an IIoT platform to create backups and access predictive maintenance and remote support.

Almost no training required

A few hours instead of many days of training: Our intuitive software interface lets you learn how to use the robot in just a few hours via a digital learning platform. This reduces training costs by around 70 % compared to other manufacturers.

What our customers say about our robot systems

We use the test cell for technological feasibility analyses and innovations in product development and are thrilled. The Solution Kit can be put into operation, programmed and operated quickly and easily without any special prior knowledge.

Robert Meißner / Senior Expert Manufacturing Technologies, Research & Development at fischer group

With HORST, we are very well positioned in our test lab. The compact footprint is very convenient and the usability of the robot is a great advantage, especially for the complex test setups.

Frank Reinauer / Senior Director Division Implants at Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik GmbH & Co. KG

We are more than satisfied with HORST as well as with the service and support from fruitcore robotics. The team is extremely competent, friendly and very helpful. The optimal solution for us!

Marius Effinger / Project Coordinator at ROTH&EFFINGER GmbH

The high quality demands placed on our products require first-class quality assurance. By using the HORST industrial robot, we have not only created the best testing conditions, but also significantly increased product quality. The robot has relieved our employees of monotonous tasks as well as led to an increase in productivity and a high level of satisfaction among our customers.

Lorenz Geyer / Managing Director Eugen Geyer GmbH

With HORST, we have achieved a very large increase in efficiency. We now produce twice as many parts and have thus been able to significantly increase our sales. The robot had already paid for itself after the first series.

Fabian Pfister / Co-Founder and Managing Director at CyFa-Tech.ch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH

HORST takes over typical pick & place tasks for us during a hydraulic test and enables a fully automated testing process. As a result, we achieve a significantly higher output and increase our productivity. We were also convinced by the easy operation of the industrial robot, the good price and the comprehensive support from fruitcore.

Thomas Sehling / Operational Excellence Manager at WEBER-HYDRAULIK GmbH

The implementation of this automation task worked quickly. Just like the cooperation with fruitcore robotics has always worked great.

Stefan Schirling / Junior Owner at Schirling Frästechnik GmbH

The automation of laser marking with HORST enables us to mark many thousands of perforated lids per year with a unique code. The automation helps us to increase quality while staying flexible for different customer needs.The system is exactly what we needed.

Beat Glauser / CTO MBV AG

HORST is inexpensive to purchase, requires little space, can be used flexibly and is easy to handle thanks to intuitive operation with the horstFX robot software.

Matthias Schneider / Plant Manager at Koepfer Zahnrad- und Getriebetechnik GmbH

Above all, the flexible applicability of HORST convinced us. In addition, the price-performance ratio fits and we simply have a team at our disposal that flexibly implements the individual task with us.

Dominik Pfeiffer / General Manager at add'n solutions GmbH & Co. KG

The great advantage of HORST and the control system is that it can be used completely flexibly in an SME. I don't need highly trained technical personnel who are specialized in the application with or programming of robots, but can also train the normal machine operator on HORST.

Peter Imm / Owner and General Manager at imm Cleaning Solutions GmbH

We were able to initialize HORST within a very short time and thus get started directly with program applications. The operating panel is very pleasant to use.

Siegmar von Detten / Computer science teacher at Zeppelin Gewerbeschule Konstanz

HORST enables us to provide industry-oriented teaching in our mechatronics workshop, from the basics to challenging tasks. With its interfaces and various control and programming options, HORST offers us an ideal basis for developing and implementing exciting and innovative projects with our students.

Daniel Weerts / Research assistant, Institute for Technology and Education (ITB), Bremen

By automating our gluing application with the Digital Robot HORST, we have efficiently optimized our processes and are now able to produce autonomously. The user-friendly graphical user interface enabled us to program and commission the application quickly and easily.

Andreas Beck / Design technician for test equipment and fixture construction at the Villingen-Schwenningen plant
