This partnership strengthens drone safety through additive manufacturing by creating robust, lightweight, and custom-built parts.
Industrial Robots with 3D Vision and AI
Powered by 3D vision and AI, Inbolt’s solution gives industrial robots such as those from ABB, FANUC and Universal Robots the ability to see production lines and adapt like humans to real-world changes in industrial environments.
Proven Performance Across 50+ Factories Worldwide
Currently deployed in over 50 factories worldwide, Inbolt has powered more than 20 million robot cycles in the first half of 2025 alone. Delivering performance up to 100 times faster than competitors, the company has enabled customers to achieve remarkable returns on automation, including reducing downtime by up to 97% and cutting part rejection rates by 80%.
Strategic Expansion to Meet Growing Automation Demand
Albane Dersy, Co-founder and COO, Inbolt said, “Manufacturers today don’t have the luxury of time. They need to launch new products fast, respond to consumer demand shifts overnight, and keep production running without costly retooling. That level of agility starts with intelligent automation. As we expand into the US and Japan, we’re partnering with manufacturers that see the strategic advantage in 3D vision and AI powering systems that evolve with demand, switch models in hours, and keep production moving.”
Tapping into US and Japan Markets for Future Growth
The entrance into US and Japan markets reflects the Paris-based startup’s strategy to accelerate its global expansion and tap into the growing demand for automation, ranked as the top strategic priority for 46% of global manufacturers over the next two years, according to Deloitte. Backed by its €15 million Series A funding round in 2024, Inbolt is launching local teams in the US and Japan and kicking off a hiring drive for robotics application engineers to support its next phase of growth.
Positioning in Key Innovation Hubs
The move to the US reflects America's growing commitment to reshoring, as it leads global efforts to bring manufacturing back to domestic soil and power automation. Inbolt is taking up residence in Newlab, an innovation centre for startups based in the country’s premier manufacturing hub for automotive and high-tech industries, Detroit, Michigan.
Meanwhile, Tokyo will be home to Inbolt in Japan as it aligns with the country’s appetite for being at the forefront of leading AI and automation technologies. It currently ranks third globally in R&D spending, making it a ripe market for the startup as it pursues the automotive and consumer electronics markets.
A Vision for Fully Autonomous Factories
“Industrial robots that can see, think, and respond in real time are no longer optional – they’re essential,” Dersy continued. “But this is just the beginning. Our vision is a fully autonomous factory floor, where operations run 24/7 with zero downtime. This future of dark factories, powered by intelligent vision systems, is within reach. Because to build a factory that never stops, you need machines that can truly see, and that’s what Inbolt has brought to the global stage.”
