About Arculus

Arculus GmbH operates as a software and robotics company, providing a comprehensive modular production system that spans from initial concept to full-scale operations.

The company was founded in April 2016 by Dr. Fabian Rusitschka, Frank Hempel, and Marius Leffler. The initial idea, conceived by Rusitschka in 2014, was to move beyond the traditional, rigid assembly line. This vision led to the development of a flexible, modular production process. The company secured its first development contract with Audi's Technology and Innovation Management. A significant milestone was the acquisition of arculus by Jungheinrich AG in November 2021, integrating arculus into Jungheinrich's "2025+" growth strategy and expanding its automation portfolio.

Arculus's business model is centered on transforming manufacturing floors into dynamic and adaptable environments. It serves clients primarily in the automotive and industrial sectors, including notable names like Audi and Siemens. The company's revenue is generated through the sale of its integrated hardware and software solutions. The core of its offering is a system that replaces the one-dimensional assembly line with scalable, flexible assembly modules. This system utilizes real-time controlled software paired with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), known as 'arculees', to transport items between modular workstations based on real-time availability.

The product suite includes the arculee line of AMRs, a warehouse software for goods-to-person logistics, a modular production management system, and the 'Fleet' management software. Fleet is a standout product, enabling the control of AMRs and AGVs from various manufacturers through a single, common interface compliant with the VDA 5050 standard, a standard arculus helped to shape. This software offers functionalities like dynamic route planning based on real-time traffic and anticipatory planning to prevent congestion. The integrated system is designed to enhance productivity and reduce the physical footprint of production lines.
