Inbolt builds GuideNOW, a turnkey real-time robotic guidance solution that combines 3D vision cameras with AI to determine part position and orientation and enable on-the-fly robot trajectory adaptation. Its system processes 3D data much faster than competitors (company claims 100x) and can be deployed in a matter of hours, lowering cost and complexity for manufacturers. The technology is deployed in more than 20 factories across Europe and the United States and is proven in several dozen industrial sites including France, Italy, Poland, Hungary and the U.S. Customers include Stellantis (an initial contract that saved more than €3.1 million in one year), Ford, Whirlpool, Thyssenkrupp Automotive, and Atlas Copco. Inbolt reports a 400% increase in demand over the past six months and will use the new funding to accelerate product development, expand use cases, grow the team, and push geographic expansion notably into the United States and Japan. The company has offices in France and Germany and is headquartered in Paris. Inbolt develops a tracking device that can be attached to manual or robotic tools and uses AI and 3D vision to generate a digital twin of parts and guide workers in real time. The system delivers traceability of fastenings and real-time feedback to ensure correct torque and assembly procedures, aiming to prevent costly reworks and safety incidents. The company targets a broad set of manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace, rail, and oil and gas. Inbolt counts Airbus Helicopters, Thales Alenia Space, ArianeGroup and Stellantis among its clients. Founders Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy and Louis Dumas lead the company, with Rudy Cohen serving as CEO. Inbolt has just raised a €3 million Seed round to fund market expansion, product development and a recruitment campaign.
