More and more companies want to work automatedly. After all, challenges like labor shortages or production gaps can be managed much more easily with robots. On the other hand, many companies consider the acquisition, setup, and operation of an industrial robot to be too time-consuming and costly.
To avoid this, complete solutions based on the quick-start principle are recommended. They enable an immediate entry into automation at an unbeatable price. Considerations regarding the necessary safety technology or the integration of a robot into ongoing operations are eliminated.
Companies want to automate without a lot of effort and training
Still, companies find it unnecessarily challenging to work with industrial robots. The willingness to do so, regardless of industry and size, is higher than ever. The main problem: a majority of robot manufacturers fail to meet the industry's need for simple automation solutions.
Production facilities are currently dealing with pressing issues – foremost a global energy and economic crisis or the severe shortage of skilled workers. This applies to all industries and company sizes, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) being more affected than large corporations with higher and long-term project budgets.
Understandably, these SMEs have little time, financial resources, and personnel to painstakingly put together automation solutions. Especially not if it's associated with high and/or opaque costs, a complicated and/or lengthy project start, as well as unresolved safety concerns.
Are there complete robot solutions for a quick entry into automation?
Complete solutions show that there is another way - simple, fully CE-compliant, mobile and flexible, and unbeatably inexpensive. These quick-start systems already enable numerous companies from all sectors of industry to get off to an uncomplicated start in robot-based automation. They are suitable, for example, for pick-and-place tasks, for intermediate handling or the equipping of machines, as well as for medical and testing technology. If you don't want to worry about safety issues or integration into existing processes when starting out in automation, you can opt for a Solution Kit or a Turnkey Solution.
The heart and brain of complete solutions is a powerful digital robot plus operating software and panel. In addition, there is a suitable mobile robot base, a control cabinet including safety control, a flexibly mountable protective enclosure, as well as vacuum or parallel grippers.
Comfortable automation: plug in, turn on and go
Depending on individual requirements, different variants are available (at fruitcore robotics these are the HORST600 or HORST1000 robots) with different ranges and payloads. The principle applies: simply plug in, switch on and use immediately. Even in the standard version, the vast majority of applications can be implemented immediately after delivery. And all this at an attractive price. This is no comparison to the often high-priced combinations that integrators design specifically for a company's application.
Of course, the quick-start complete solutions are not limited to the standard version. The configuration can be supplemented with additional components. The easy change of gripping technology – depending on the ongoing process – is also easily possible after setup.
Another highlight: Solution Kits and Turnkey Solutions like those from fruitcore robotics are delivered completely CE-compliant. The CE marking ("Conformité Européenne" in French) ensures that all used components and thus the entire system comply with the applicable EU requirements. This guarantees the safe operation of the entire robot system in the delivered version.
Thanks to the mobile base with wheels and a variable safety fence, these solutions can be easily attached to and removed from other machines. This mobility and flexibility are particularly important when a machine needs to be quickly accessible. For example, in case of maintenance or if the machine is operated by humans during the day and only automated at night.
Ordered today, programmed shortly and ready for use
Shortly after ordering, you can put finished solutions into operation. As always with the operation of Digital Robots, the fruitcore promise applies here: The first simple processes will also be able to run automatically in your company in a maximum of 30 minutes - thanks to foolproof graphical programming and display via a digital twin.
