What Industrial Robot Solutions does

Industrial Robot Solutions (IRBS) is a privately-held industrial automation integrator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Málaga, Spain, with operational offices across nine countries in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. The company designs, manufactures and implements custom robotic cells and service robots for manufacturing and hospitality customers, combining industrial robots with proprietary artificial vision systems, deep-learning quality control, Big Data analytics and MES integration. Its product portfolio spans named cells including Maratus (FlexPacking), Mamut (Coating), Saurium (Machine Tending), Wombat (AI Inspection), and the Guepardo AI4QC family, plus a full line of service robots (Runner, Cleaning, Delivery, ForkLift, Housekeeping) sold under the 'Intelligent Robotics' sub-brand. The company serves customers across at least eight verticals — automotive, aerospace, food & beverage, metal transformation, plastic and composite materials, hospitality, logistics and retail — claiming productivity improvements of 30–120%, 100% traceability and a 20-year system design lifespan without mandatory software or hardware updates.

IRBS operates a project-based, founder-led go-to-market model: the Process Improvement Assessment (PIA), led personally by founder César Pomilio (25+ years' experience), serves as the universal entry point and is followed by turnkey project implementation and optional training and managed-support contracts. Public-facing sources disclose cumulative metrics of 1,385 analyzed projects, 293 implemented projects, 421 robots installed, 95 artificial vision systems integrated and 4,920 people trained, but provide no financial data, funding rounds, headcount trend, customer logos, or pricing. Ownership appears concentrated with the founder; no institutional investors, acquisitions, M&A or public-market activity are disclosed.
