Constance, June 28, 2023 – Fruitcore Robotics takes industrial automation to a whole new level with an innovative operating system that harnesses the latest AI technology. With Horstos, industrial companies have at their disposal a new tool that helps them at every stage of commissioning complete applications with HORST, the intelligent industrial robot, while significantly reducing complexity. With an integrated AI copilot, industrial companies can increase the efficiency of their production processes and save time. „Generative AI is changing many work areas. “New technology will transform automation and provide a new automation experience for our customers,” says Patrick Heimberger, Managing Director (Chief Revenue Officer), Fruitcore Robotics.
The new operating system from Fruitcore Robotics simplifies and accelerates the configuration and management of all components involved in the process, programming as well as the operation of the finished application. The entire control system of robots, components and existing industrial processes is done through a user-friendly interface through which their interaction is realized even more easily. Horstos essentially consists of three interrelated areas: the component management area, the program creation area, and the process control system area. These three areas provide users with all the functions they need to set up and use their aggregate plants quickly, simply and efficiently.
In the component management area, users can seamlessly integrate and centrally manage all components related to the overall plant, such as grippers, camera systems and security systems, thanks to a standardized interface. Adding components only takes one click and is possible for all components that have a web app or digital interface – regardless of manufacturer. If status information is needed for one of the connected components, settings need to be checked or changes need to be made, this can be implemented directly via the robot panel with Horstos as the central user interface. Could When users switch to the program creation area, they find themselves in the intuitive HorstFX operating software, in which they program the robot’s sequence with the integration of all components. Once a program sequence is created, it can be started, paused, or stopped in a process control system. Process control systems also allow users to customize operations and process monitoring according to their individual requirements and specific processes. Widgets can be used to show relevant process data, display the status of connected components, and display access parameters that need to be adjusted frequently. This gives users complete control over their automation process.

Ask Horst Anything – AI Copilot Helps Industrial Robots in All Stages of Life
Our new operating system incorporates the deepest integration of the most advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Patrick Heimberger says that it sets new standards for the rapid integration of industrial robots into processes such as machine loading and unloading, quality assurance, parts separation or adhesive and sealant application. With AI Copilot in Horstos, users get an intelligent assistant that provides real-time assistance in natural language to successfully meet automation challenges. Whether setting up robots and other components, troubleshooting, or suggesting program blocks or even writing entire programs, AI Copilot helps users find quick and accurate solutions to their applications and streamline operations. Enables it to run smoothly. For example, if the user wants to know how to transmit the position of a part detected by the camera to the robot, he or she can address this question to the AI CoPilot via text prompt and within moments the relevant code block will be generated. can get
Fruitcore Robotics’ AI Copilot is based on ChatGPT and specially trained for industry situations. It gives users comprehensive access to all relevant instructions, support materials and software documentation from Fruitcore Robotics. To provide users with an optimal user experience, the Constance-based company focuses on the continuous enhancement of the AI copilot’s capabilities.

Future-Oriented Automation with Horstos
The scope of Horstos is also expected to grow steadily in the coming years. The modular structure of the operating system already allows external software and services to be integrated without much effort. User-specific software programs and interfaces from OEMs can also be seamlessly integrated. „Through HorstOS, the future of automation becomes a new reality. The system provides comprehensive support, even for those with little knowledge, and significantly reduces the effort required for setup, operation and after-sales support,” said Managing Director (CEO) of Fruitcore Robotics Jens Rieger explains. „Our intelligent industrial robots are not only designed to provide our customers with the best return on investment in the robotics market. They are also designed to increase productivity and help save valuable time, says Jens Rieger, especially against the backdrop of the ubiquitous shortage of skilled workers.
