Revenue model

1. Custom Feeding and Automation Systems: IFSYS designs, engineers, and manufactures custom feeding systems, palletizing systems, optical sorting systems, screwing systems, measuring technology, and conveyor technology for industrial manufacturers. Revenue is generated through the sale of custom-built special machinery (Sondermaschinenbau), typically as project-based, one-time system sales with potential for after-sales service, spare parts, and training contracts.

Core offering

IFSYS develops and manufactures custom feeding and automation systems that separate, orient, sort, measure, convey, palletize, and supply parts for production and assembly lines. Its portfolio also includes screwing systems, flexible feeding, conveyor technology, AI-powered optical sorting, inspection systems, and related service and training offerings.

Product overview

IFSYS Integrated Feeding Systems GmbH offers a modular portfolio of feeding and automation systems for industrial manufacturing. The core offering centers on the Vibroliner® sorting rail technology and Step Feeder systems, complemented by Flexible Feeding Technology with integrated image processing. Additional modules include Palletizing/Depalletizing Systems, Inspection and Measuring Technology, Optical Sorting Technology with AI-powered 360° vision, Screwing Systems, and Conveyor Technology. Components and Accessories cover Tilting Devices, Upstream Technology (disentangling systems, bunker belts), and Downstream Technology (delivery systems, camera/identification). Vibration controllers (FC3000, FC2000, FC1000) manage system operations. Service and Training round out the offering. All systems are developed and manufactured in-house in Germany with high vertical integration.

Brands

• Vibroliner: Core product technology - a sorting rail system that has been at the heart of IFSYS's innovative strength since the company's founding. Characterized by good scalability, diverse integration options, low frequency vibration, and maximum part protection.
• KEKS

Products and services

• Feeding Systems Custom industrial feeding systems that automatically separate, orient, sort, meter, and supply parts or assemblies into production processes, with options for integrated measuring, testing, weighing, counting, and packaging. The range includes step conveyors, sorting rails, spiral and drum conveyors, tube and bar feeders, and storage or lift systems.
• Palletizing and Depalletizing Systems Scalable palletizing and depalletizing systems for destacking, loading, unloading, and restacking common container and product types, including blisters, trays, and KLTs. Conveyor lengths, container sizes, cycle times, and infeed heights can be configured for existing production lines.
• Inspection and Measuring Technology Test-automation systems that combine part feeding, camera-based measurement, and sorting for subsequent production steps. They inspect parameters including length, diameter, and surface quality within fractions of a second.
• Screwing Systems Complete screwdriving systems that combine screw feeding technology with manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic screwdriving applications for different screw sizes and types, including aluminum screws.
• Flexible Feeding Technology Vibration-based flexible feeding systems for frequently changing part geometries and small-batch production. They can sort, align, and feed small delicate or large heavy parts by combining a robot, feeding system, and integrated image processing.
• Conveyor Technology Material-flow systems ranging from roller conveyors to integrated conveyor solutions for moving individual items, assemblies, and pallets in the required sequence, position, and order.
• Optical Sorting Technology AI-powered optical inspection systems that provide a 360-degree all-around view of sorted goods and classify visual characteristics in real time. The system is tailored to the sorting material and can classify products into up to nine quality classes, including detection of half or damaged hazelnuts.
• Service and Training Training with theoretical instruction and practical exercises for operating and maintaining complex systems, together with service support and spare-parts availability.

Quantifiable outcome

• Reduced manual sorting labor through AI-powered optical sorting — replaces manual sorting of agricultural products such as hazelnuts
