Die fruitcore robotics GmbH mit Sitz in Konstanz ist spezialisiert auf die Entwicklung, Herstellung und Vermarktung technisch herausragender und einfach zu bedienender "Digital Robots". Der Fokus des Deep-Tech-Unternehmens liegt darauf, robotergestützte industrielle Automatisierung für die breite Masse verfügbar zu machen. Zum modularen Produktportfolio gehören die „Digital Robots“ HORST, die intuitiv bedienbare Software horstFX, die Industrial IoT-Plattform horstCOSMOS sowie intelligente Features zur Kameraerkennung. Die Roboter sind Made in Germany, von der Hardware bis zur Software. Neben den Robotern bietet das Unternehmen auch Fertiglösungen und Softwarepakete für die Plug & Play-Implementierung kompletter Anwendungen an. fruitcore robotics wurde 2017 gegründet und beschäftigt aktuell mehr als 100 Mitarbeitende. Neben dem Hauptsitz in Konstanz am Bodensee gibt es einen weiteren Produktionsstandort in Villingen. Das Unternehmen wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem Best of Industry Award der Zeitschrift MM Maschinenmarkt in der Kategorie Robotik (2020), dem Sonderpreis der Mittelständischen Beteiligungsgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (MBG), der im Rahmen des Innovationspreises des Landes Baden-Württemberg 2020 verliehen wurde und dem German Innovation Award 2021 ("Winner" in der Kategorie Excellence in Business to Business - Machines & Engineering). fruitcore robotics als Arbeitgeber: fruitcore robotics ist ein dynamisches und hochspezialisiertes Technologieunternehmen, das sich im spannenden und wachsenden Umfeld der Robotik und Automatisierung bewegt. Unsere Vision: ein Industrieroboter für alle. Deshalb arbeiten bei uns Menschen, die Freude an den Herausforderungen der digitalen Welt haben und ihre Innovationskraft voll ausschöpfen.

The world is getting more complex and dynamic than ever before. China, climate, elections, trade wars, bureaucracy. Yet manufacturing, our hidden gem, is struggling to evolve. Often overlooked: the supply chain. Hundreds of tightly interconnected suppliers, thousands of production-critical parts, global dependencies. Yet procurement is expected to manage this complexity with Excel and Outlook, static ERP systems, and outdated supplier data. That no longer works. More than 50% of the cost of a physical product is created in the supply chain. Competitive manufacturing therefore starts in procurement. AI offers the opportunity to optimally balance time, cost, and quality in procurement. That’s why Tacto is building the first Procurement Intelligence Platform for industrial companies: not another workflow tool, but a system that creates transparency, delivers actionable recommendations, and enables execution - with procurement as the decision-maker at the center. Powered by Tacto Intelligence, you see your procurement operations at a glance: KPIs, suppliers, and real-time order and material movements. In the background, Tacto connects your ERP data with external market data to form the Procurement Brain. On top of that, AI agents automate manual work, identify risks and savings opportunities, and provide precise recommendations. Automated workflows turn these signals into action - delivering measurable results: lower costs, better quality, and higher availability.

[fà]-[zuà]! – Bavarian for “Get going!” FAZUA is specialized on innovative, compact drive systems and agile concepts for esthetic, lightweight e-bikes that help promote the most sustainable form of mobility within our society. The company was founded in 2013 out of a university project in Munich/Bavaria and quickly set out to transform the industry by defining a new e-bike category. Since August 2022, FAZUA is part of the Porsche eBike Performance GmbH. FAZUA pioneered an almost noiseless drive system that unites motor and battery allowing a slender, aesthetic integration and an exceptionally smooth ride. They are developed, designed and produced at the HQs in Ottobrunn near Munich. The young and diverse FAZUA team is driven by the mission to foster a better, more sustainable world with better rides. Yet, the production of e-bike components also has environmental impacts on our planet. FAZUA is deeply committed to the Agenda 2030 and has defined a comprehensive corporate sustainability strategy. The brand pursues full transparency along the entire supply chain and continuously works on reducing the environmental footprint on all company levels.

The initial idea for Compositence technology resulted from the lack of process technologies to apply fibers according to component specific load-paths. Starting in 2009, Compositence has been successfully developing a unique preforming technology with relevant software. Already in 2011, Compositence achieved first layup trials and started working for the first automotive OEM. In 2013 the first plant was sold to an Asian customer and Compositence was honoured with the Innovation Award Baden-Wuerttemberg. A cooperation with BMW began in 2014 on high volumes and cost- effective processes and strengthened our understanding for industry customer needs. Today, we are able to process all automotive relevant raw materials, starting from technical and commercial simulation up to series production to our customers. This unique competence results on the one hand from our deep experience with all kind of fibers and our knowledge how to apply these fibers in a fast and economical way. On the other hand, we have profound understanding of the individual component demands and support our customers in designing their very tailor-made fiber architecture. Both to the benefit of our most valued customers. Compositence technology is at the very beginning of its capabilities. Additive manufacturing, Industry 4.0, decentralized manufacturing, 3D fiber printing are just some of the top themes of these days. Compositence is able to make its contribution to all of them. Significantly reducing costs on the end product requires a close partnership with key players along the whole value chain. That is why Compositence has teamed up with industry partners and well- known universities in composites business. The future of composites has just begun.

Synapticon is reshaping the world of motion control for robotics and machinery at the point of motion. We are introducing an entirely new approach to motion axes by integrating formerly discrete components, such as servo drives, sensors, brakes and functional safety into seamless units to fit integrated motors and gearmotors. We are digitalizing performance and quality factors that are so far dependent on costly electromechanical and mechanical manufacturing. Together, these innovations disrupt the point of motion as we know it today, for good.
