What Inbolt does

Inbolt SAS is a Paris-headquartered industrial AI company that builds real-time, vision-guided robot-control software for manufacturers. Its Inbolt Platform combines three on-premise modules — Inbolt Vision Model (a CAD-trained generalist AI perception engine delivering sub-millimeter 6DoF pose updates in under 2 ms), Inbolt Robot Programming (CAD-based digital twin programming that builds executable robot motion in minutes), and Inbolt Robot Control (adaptive motion control streaming trajectory corrections at up to 500 Hz into native controllers of FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, and Comau). The platform is sold as a unified system targeting bin picking, pick & place and de-racking, fastening, and dispensing, with production deployments at Stellantis (six or more plants), Ford (Cologne EV), GM, Toyota, Beko, and thyssenkrupp/Mercedes.

The company monetizes via a quote-based per-robot-station sales motion comprising Inbolt System hardware (3D camera, industrial controller, accessories), a 3-year Studio License for programming and training software, a perpetual Runtime License tied to one designated robot and station, tiered Basic/Advanced/Enterprise support subscriptions (annual), and on-site professional services for commissioning, training, and integration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each quote designates the contracting entity (Inbolt SAS / Inbolt Inc. / Inbolt KK) and governing law. Distribution is a hybrid of direct enterprise sales to OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers and a global channel of systems integrators and distributors across France, the UK, Japan, and Poland, with co-marketing through the NVIDIA Inception program and the Universal Robots AI Accelerator Kit. The company operates three legal entities (Inbolt SAS in France as parent, Inbolt Inc. in Delaware, Inbolt KK in Japan) and reports 200+ robots deployed, 100+ factories, 40M robot cycles powered in 2025, and a 508.28% two-year revenue CAGR (2023–2025) per Sifted.

Core offering

Inbolt develops and sells an AI-powered 3D vision platform that gives industrial robots real-time, CAD-trained perception and adaptive motion control. The system combines a robot-mounted 3D camera, on-device AI inference, and native robot-control drivers that stream corrected trajectories into FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, and Comau controllers for bin picking, pick & place, fastening, and dispensing on stationary and moving production lines.

Product overview

Inbolt offers a unified platform-plus-modules architecture for real-time vision-guided industrial robot intelligence. The Inbolt Platform consists of three integrated systems that work together end-to-end: the Inbolt Vision Model (a CAD-trained generalist AI perception engine delivering sub-millimeter 6DoF pose updates in under 2 ms), Inbolt Robot Programming (CAD-based programming that builds executable robot motion in under five minutes inside Inbolt Studio), and Inbolt Robot Control (adaptive robot motion control running natively on FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, and Comau). Together they close the loop from digital twin to factory floor execution, eliminating the bespoke integration cost of traditional automation. On top of the platform, Inbolt delivers named solution modules for four core industrial use cases — Bin Picking, Pick & Place and De-racking, Fastening, and Dispensing — each backed by the same real-time vision and control stack. The platform is deployed in 100+ factories across automotive, electronics, and home goods manufacturing, with 40 million+ robot cycles powered in 2025.

Products and services

• Inbolt Platform End-to-end robot intelligence platform combining three systems — Robot Programming, Vision Model, and Robot Control — that work together to deploy from digital twin and perceive in real time. Designed to replace bespoke, six-figure integration projects with a single vision-driven platform for manufacturers across any part, orientation, or line speed.
• Inbolt Vision Model The perception engine of the Inbolt platform. A digital twin-trained generalist AI vision model that understands the environment with no datasets or labelling required. Delivers real-time 6DoF pose updates under 2 ms with sub-millimeter accuracy, multi-object understanding, and robustness to factory variability (lighting, shadows, reflections, vibration).
• Inbolt Robot Programming CAD-based robot programming capability inside Inbolt Studio. Engineers build robot programs directly on the CAD model in the part's reference frame; the Inbolt Vision Model locates real parts at runtime and adjusts motion to execute the planned path. Eliminates weeks of teach-pendant commissioning in favor of executable robot motion in under five minutes, on-premise.
• Inbolt Robot Control Real-time adaptive robot motion control running natively on FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, UR, and Comau controllers. Closes the loop between what the vision model sees and how the robot moves at native control frequency, with drivers streaming corrected joint commands up to 500 Hz. Supports both stationary and moving-line applications.
• Inbolt Bin Picking Vision-guided robot-mounted bin picking and depalletization solution with in-hand localization. Uses one robot-mounted 3D camera to grasp parts from any pickable side, then re-analyzes parts mid-move to adjust placement trajectory in real time. Achieves 1 second per pick and up to 95% success rates in live production.
• Inbolt Pick & Place and De-racking Real-time vision-guided pick & place and de-racking solution that identifies part position and orientation even when racks shift or parts are misaligned. Delivers up to 30% faster cycle times, optional safety zone protection, and rapid ROI in 3–6 months by eliminating collisions and mispicks.
• Inbolt Fastening Vision-guided screw driving and fastening solution that dynamically compensates for x, y, z, yaw, pitch, and roll variations. Reduces part rejects by up to 91% and eliminates the need for lift-and-locate systems, retrofitting seamlessly to existing stations with typical ROI in 3–6 months.
• Inbolt Dispensing Vision-guided adhesive, mastic, and sealant dispensing solution with real-time bead path adjustment. Robot-mounted 3D vision and edge AI compute paths in milliseconds without cloud dependency, supporting curved, angled, and irregular surfaces with consistent quality and reduced waste.
