A portfolio of digital solutions by fischer 11 July 2023

The fischer Group of Companies offers digital solutions for a building’s entire life cycle. This portfolio includes a range of products in robotics and sensor technology, BIM services, the fischer FiXperience design software as well as digital services, such as the fischer plug-finder app for selecting and using products. These solutions optimise the planning, construction and operation of buildings.  

fischer BauBot

The fully automated construction site helper creates drill holes and installs fischer fixing solutions in walls, floors and ceilings. By using the BauBot in combination with a digital building plan, construction site processes can be almost fully automated and documented. Using the robot increases work efficiency, takes the workload off of installers, reduces errors and saves time, ultimately ensuring the project’s success.

fischer Construction Monitoring 

fischer’s Construction Monitoring Cloud module within the myfischer portal allows existing prestressing forces in fastenings to be monitored in combination with fischer’s sensor-integrated products, SensorAnchor and SensorDisc. The SensorAnchor anchor rod enables precise measurement and monitoring from a distance. Together with the SensorDisc washer, the prestressing force of various screw connections can be monitored with just a tap on the smartphone. The data of the sensor-integrated fixing products can be read with the fischer PRO app or via web application. As a result, the flow of information, service life, sustainability and safety of structures and facilities increase with a consistently high degree of maintenance efficiency.

fischer BIM solutions

fischer’s range of BIM services includes digital twins of relevant fischer product and system portfolios, including inserts, façade substructures as well as installation and fire protection systems. With its BIM engineering services, fischer supports its customers with selecting, designing and modelling fischer fixing and system solutions as well as creating digital models and components optimised to meet the specific requirements of the customer or project. fischer Field to BIM services enable surveying and modelling, including point Cloud analysis and processing, in addition to as-built documentation to create a 3D image of the existing structure.

Digital tools for selecting and using products 

Fixing solutions for projects and individual applications can be precisely and efficiently planned with the FiXperience software. The software is valid worldwide in terms of current ETA certification and corresponding standards, in addition to further applicable national and international design standards. fischer FiXperience Suite is also available as an online browser version containing the C-FIX module as well as a desktop version with specialist application modules for seven different trades.

Professional users and planners can access information and many useful functions on fischer’s fixing technology from anywhere and at any time with the fischer PRO app for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. The app’s product advisor allows tradespeople and engineers to quickly and easily find their way to the right individual product or most suitable system solution by entering a few standard parameters.

Products can be purchased directly through fischer’s connected online retailers or in store. The app’s functions include creating and quickly accessing installation reports as well as a calculator to determine the mortar quantities required for bonded anchors and post-installed rebar connections. Users can also intuitively find further information on the world of fischer fixings, chat directly with fischer Application Engineers and much more.
