About

About fruitcore robotics

fruitcore robotics combines six-axis industrial robots, controls and horstOS software into automation systems designed for production teams and machine builders. The software includes visual programming, a digital twin and interfaces for peripherals, allowing complete cells to be configured around handling, machine tending, inspection and pick-and-place work.

Founded in Constance in 2017, the company reports more than 1,000 robots in industrial use. Its 2026 HORST600 G2 and HORST800 G2 models introduce redesigned drives, bearings and precision gears, with series production scheduled for the fourth quarter. PLEXA One extends the same industrial automation stack into a planned humanoid configuration for customer projects.
