Ingenia Automation.

What Ingenia Automation. does

Ingenia Automation srl is a privately held Italian industrial automation integrator founded in 1998 and headquartered in Volpiano (Turin). The company designs, builds, and commissions turnkey robotic cells and assembly plants for manufacturing customers, integrating robots, machine tools, vision systems, material handling, and downstream quality/finishing modules into complete production lines. Itself operates from a 4,000 m² production facility with 40+ technicians, engineers, software developers, and trainers, and reports 500+ installed systems since inception.

The company’s product portfolio spans 16 categories: turnkey robotic cells and plants, machine-tool feeding systems, AI-powered vision systems for inspection, custom grippers, assembly plants, leak-testing and laser-marking units, insert/press-fitting stations, washing/blowing and deburring/brushing stations, testing benches, end-of-line palletizing, and production-line integration services. Its stack is anchored to premium OEM partners — FANUC (robots and CNCs), MAKINO and HURCO (machining centers), CMZ (lathes), United Machining Solutions (Agie, Charmilles, Mikron) and MODULA (vertical storage) — which it integrates into bespoke cells. A May 2024 case study showcased a compact robotic island delivering 50+ part numbers in 24 hours in 50 m² for mid-market manufacturers. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified (Kiwa).

Commercially, Ingenia operates as a direct enterprise-field-sales integrator: revenue is generated project-by-project from custom automation contracts rather than recurring licenses or SaaS, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers are concentrated in discrete manufacturing, automotive, and white-goods verticals, with named logos including Eaton, Stanley Black & Decker, FANUC, MAKINO, Bulgari, Endurance, FPT, DeWalt, and Samec Automation Systems. The company markets via its own multilingual website, LinkedIn, and published case studies, and positions itself as a global supplier despite delivering primarily from a single Italian site.
