Baubot in the Spotlight on n-tv - fischer group of companies

The construction site of the future is no longer a vision. It is already a reality – and it was recently presented to a wide audience. The news channel n-tv as well as other media, including Stern Online, reported on the use of the fischer construction robot Baubot at a construction site of Ed. Züblin AG in Frankfurt am Main. The high media attention impressively shows: The digitalization of construction has arrived – directly on the construction site.

Precision at the Highest Level

At the heart of the coverage is an impressive real-world application. On the Frankfurt construction site, Baubot is undertaking a task that requires the utmost precision: more than 16,000 drill holes are being made in ceiling surfaces with millimetre accuracy.
What initially sounds like a routine task impressively illustrates the capabilities of modern robotics in the construction industry. The construction robot works precisely, reliably and without fatigue – thereby opening up new possibilities for productivity, quality and process reliability on the construction site.

Technology that supports people

Matthias Schneider, fischer’s Managing Director of Digital Services and IT, was also on site for the TV report. His comments made it clear what the development of the construction robot is all about: not replacing people, but providing intelligent support in day-to-day work.

Baubot takes on physically demanding and monotonous tasks, thereby freeing up time for more challenging work. At the same time, the technology helps to improve the quality of workmanship and make workflows more efficient. People and machines work hand in hand – an approach that strengthens and advances the construction site.

Response to Central Challenges in the Construction Industry

Baubot’s success is the result of a consistent innovation strategy. By combining robotics, digitalisation and fastening technology, a solution has been created that provides answers to some of the industry’s greatest challenges.
The shortage of skilled workers, rising quality standards and the growing need for more efficient processes call for new ways of thinking. This is precisely where the construction robot comes in: it helps construction companies carry out work more precisely, more predictably and more cost-effectively.

Innovation as a collective effort

The growing public attention is also a recognition of the work of numerous employees within the fischer group. Developers, digitalisation experts, product specialists and project teams have worked together to turn an innovative idea into a practical solution for the construction site of tomorrow.

Baubot already attracted international attention last year with a Guinness World Record. The current media coverage once again confirms the innovative power of the technology and underlines fischer’s role as a driver of digital transformation in the construction industry.

The future is already being built today

A look at the construction site in Frankfurt provides the best proof of how far development has already progressed. Modern robotics is already supporting construction processes under real-world conditions and creating measurable added value for companies and employees.

Baubot impressively demonstrates how digitalisation and automation can transform the construction industry. The construction site of the future is no longer just a concept on paper – it is already a reality. And fischer is actively shaping this development.
