fruitcore robotics and EDM specialist Sodick have entered into a strategic partnership to significantly simplify and accelerate the automation of Sodick’s precision machines. The starting point is a problem that is widespread in the industry: machine downtime, a shortage of skilled workers, and complex automation projects lead to delays and high costs. Both companies are therefore pursuing the goal of providing flexible and quickly integrable solutions that noticeably increase productivity in manufacturing.

Sodick emphasizes the high value of reliable automation, as customers have clear return on investment targets and high requirements for machine utilization and stability. However, classic automation projects often take many months to a year to complete. The modular robotic solutions from fruitcore robotics reduce these integration times to just a few days. Key factors here are the intuitive, PLC-free horstOS software, simple programming, and high flexibility for customer-specific requirements. Close communication and solution-oriented collaboration with the application engineering team at fruitcore robotics were also key factors in the cooperation.

There are clear advantages for machine manufacturers and end users: fast commissioning, intuitive operation without PLC, modular and scalable design, white label options, and significant savings in time and costs.
