Robot solutions from a single source.
Lower costs. More performance. Full control.
Centralized operation
The robot solution is programmed and controlled centrally via horstOS - an external PLC is not required.
-85% project effort
Plug-and-play integration enables quick set-up at significantly lower costs than customized solutions.
High autonomy
The individually designed parts supply maximizes the machine's autonomy time and increases overall performance.
Maximum efficiency
Short loading times, including cleaning of parts and chucks, minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
Automation that convinces.
Trusted by leading industrial companies.
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
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
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.
