What InOrbit does
InOrbit, Inc. is a cloud-based robot operations (RobOps) platform provider headquartered in Mountain View, California, founded in 2017. The company enables enterprises and robot developers to orchestrate heterogeneous autonomous mobile robot fleets through a single pane of glass, addressing the fragmentation that arises when organizations deploy robots from multiple vendors. Its flagship Space Intelligence platform combines real-time monitoring, AI-driven vision, multi-vendor traffic management, and integration with enterprise systems (WMS, WES, ERP). Supporting products include IOWA (InOrbit Warehouse Automation), RobOps Copilot (LLM-powered natural-language interface), Time Capsule (incident reconstruction with AI visual analysis), InOrbit Missions (mission definition and analytics), Configuration as Code (JSON/YAML with CI/CD support), Ground Control (developer SDK), and RTLS Integration (with SICK, Slamcore, Guide Robotics, RGo Robotics). The platform supports interoperability standards including VDA-5050, MassRobotics AMR Interop, and Open-RMF, and integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse Isaac Sim for digital twin and simulation capabilities.
The company operates a multi-tier SaaS business model: a Free edition for community and education use, a Developer Edition (flat annual pricing for up to 8 robots), a Standard tier, and an Enterprise tier with custom pricing, multi-year contracts, and dedicated support. Revenue is supplemented by professional services through InOrbit Intelligence (robotics strategy consulting) and by ecosystem monetization through the InOrbit Connect certification program (20+ certified robot developers including Mobile Industrial Robots, Locus Robotics, OTTO Motors, Kärcher, and Geek+). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with product-led self-serve for developers, channel partnerships with Barcodes/Levata, Globant, and eInfochips (Arrow Electronics), and developer relations through open-source GitHub repositories. Named enterprise customers include Colgate-Palmolive, Genentech, and Kärcher, with deployments spanning four continents. The company raised a $10M Series A in September 2025 co-led by L'ATTITUDE Ventures and Globant Ventures, with prior funding totaling approximately $3.5M across earlier rounds.
