About Inbolt
Inbolt, established in 2019 by co-founders Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy, and Simon Bousquet, is a company focused on advancing robotic automation within the manufacturing sector. The founding team combines expertise from diverse backgrounds; Rudy Cohen has experience in robotics and computer vision from his time at MIT and various tech companies, Albane Dersy brings a background in industrial and manufacturing systems from Arts et Métiers and experience at industrial giants like Saint-Gobain, and Simon Bousquet contributes his knowledge in robotics and AI. This collective experience addresses a critical challenge in modern manufacturing: the high cost and rigidity of traditional automation systems that rely on fixed infrastructure.
Read full description
The company's core business revolves around its proprietary AI-powered robotic guidance technology, which enables industrial robots to operate in dynamic and unstructured environments. Inbolt develops and sells a hardware-agnostic software platform that integrates with 3D cameras to provide real-time, vision-based guidance for robots. This system allows robots to identify and locate parts with sub-millimeter precision, even on continuously moving assembly lines, a significant step forward in factory automation. The technology is designed to be a generalist solution, adapting to various applications without requiring extensive custom tuning, thereby reducing integration costs and deployment times.
Inbolt's business model is centered on providing its technology to major industrial players, particularly in the automotive industry. Its client roster includes prominent manufacturers such as Stellantis, Renault, Toyota, and Ford, with deployments in over 50 factories across Europe, the United States, and Japan. The company's revenue is generated by selling its software and guidance systems to these large enterprises, helping them to automate complex tasks that were previously difficult or impossible to automate, such as screwdriving, welding, and quality inspection on moving lines. Having secured $20 million in funding from investors like SOSV, Exor, and MIG, Inbolt is positioned to expand its market presence and further develop its technology, setting a new benchmark for flexible robotics in manufacturing.
