We check the component, process and requirements directly on site

Step 2
Feasibility study

After a brief analysis, it is clear that automation is possible.

Step 3
Customer order

SCHERDEL places the order with us within one week.

Step 4
Delivery & setup

Just four weeks later, our Robotic Solution arrives ready to go

Result: Plug & Produce.

Ready for immediate use. Without an integration project.


SCHERDEL opted for a standardized robotic solution from fruitcore robotics, which does not require external integrators and is immediately productive.

"Employee satisfaction has increased. A high degree of automation is also better for our customers. Fewer errors occur and we can integrate components into the systems more easily. The support was great. fruitcore supported us from the feasibility analysis to ongoing operation."

ROI after 3 months

Swiss manufacturing specialist automates
CNC loading and unloading.

CyFa-Tech.ch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH automated the manual milling of parts with a solution from fruitcore robotics. Only a few weeks passed from analysis to productive application. The implementation took place without complex integration projects and was immediately ready for use.

CyFa-Tech.ch is a Swiss company from Wiedlisbach specializing in CNC turning, milling and measuring - particularly for the hydraulics industry. The service portfolio includes the production of hydraulic valve blocks and linear systems as well as components for drive spindles for milling machines.

Industry: Metal processing
Company size: 6 employees
Series size: 10,000-50,000 parts
Website: www.cyfa-tech.ch

Result: Higher capacity utilization from day one.

More efficient. More predictable. More economical.


CyFa-Tech sustainably increases plant efficiency with robot-assisted CNC loading. Production capacities can be flexibly expanded - without additional personnel costs or complex conversions.

"With HORST, we have achieved a huge increase in efficiency. We now produce twice as many parts and have been able to significantly increase our turnover. The robot paid for itself after just three months, or after the first series of 16,000 parts."

Experience from successful automation projects

We use the test cell for technological feasibility analyses and innovations in product development and are thrilled. The Robotic Solution 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

fruitcore robotics impresses us with its modular robot cells, outstanding software and dedicated support. This enables us to offer high-quality, cost-effective complete solutions.

Giuseppe Addelia / Managing Director Sodick Deutschland GmbH

Employee satisfaction has increased. A high degree of automation is also better for our customers. Fewer errors occur and we can integrate components into the systems more easily. The support was great. fruitcore supported us from the feasibility analysis to ongoing operation.

Felix Nimtz / Process optimizer, SCHERDEL Marienberg GmbH

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

Beat Glauser / CTO MBV AG

With the industrial robot 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 the industrial robot 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

Even during its first deployment at the technical college, HORST industrial robot surprised the prospective state-certified technicians with its simple and intuitive usability. We want to develop further in this area and are in constant, constructive dialogue with fruitcore robotics. The company has been with us since the beginning of the project and always responds to our needs in a flexible and solution-oriented manner.

Kerstin Oswald / Deputy Headteacher, Gottlieb-Daimler-School 1

With the industrial robot 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

The industrial robot 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 automation solution, the good price and the comprehensive support from fruitcore.

Thomas Sehling / Operational Excellence Manager at WEBER-HYDRAULIK GmbH

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

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

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

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.
