Inbolt, a Paris, France-based company, develops AI-powered 3D vision software enabling industrial robots to perceive and adapt to real-world manufacturing changes in real-time. Its GuideNOW solution allows robots to make autonomous decisions, integrating with major manufacturers like FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal Robots. In September 2024, Inbolt raised a €15 million Series A round led by Exor Ventures, bringing total funding to €20 million. The technology is deployed in over 50 factories globally, powering more than 20 million robot cycles in H1 2025 for clients such as Stellantis, Renault, Volkswagen, Ford, and Beko. Customers have reported a 97% reduction in downtime and an 80% reduction in part rejection rates, demonstrating significant operational efficiency. Inbolt was founded in 2019 by Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy, and Louis Dumas.
Inbolt has raised $20.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $17.0M Series A in September 2024.

Inbolt is a Paris-headquartered technology company specializing in 3D vision and AI-powered real-time robot guidance for industrial automation. It builds a software-only solution using standard 3D cameras that enables robots from brands like FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal Robots to perceive dynamic factory environments, adapt to changes like moving lines or cluttered pallets, and perform tasks such as bin picking, pick-and-place, fastening, and dispensing with precision up to 100 times faster than competitors.[1][2][3][4] Serving major manufacturers including Stellantis, Toyota, Ford, Beko, Whirlpool, Thyssenkrupp Automotive, and Atlas Copco, Inbolt solves the problem of rigid, inflexible automation by allowing quick model switches (in hours), reducing downtime by up to 97%, cutting part rejection rates by 80%, and delivering ROI in 6 months—with deployments in over 50 factories worldwide and 40 million robot cycles powered in 2025.[1][2][3][4]
Inbolt was co-founded in 2019 by Rudy Cohen (CEO), Albane Dersey (COO), and Louis Dumas during their time in the MSc X-HEC Entrepreneurs program in France.[3][4] With backgrounds in mathematics, artificial intelligence, and mergers & acquisitions, the trio identified key gaps in industrial robotics—particularly the need for flexibility in manufacturing—while exchanging ideas at UC Berkeley in the US.[3] This sparked the company's development of AI-driven 3D vision for robots. Early traction came from deployments in Europe (France, Italy, Poland, Hungary) and the US, including a pivotal contract with Stellantis that saved over €3.1 million in one year, proving the technology's robustness across dozens of sites.[3]
Inbolt rides the wave of intelligent automation and physical AI in manufacturing, addressing the demand for agile production amid rapid product launches, consumer shifts, and retooling avoidance—key priorities as 46% of global manufacturers rank automation #1 for the next two years per Deloitte.[1][4] Its timing aligns with labor shortages, supply chain volatility, and Industry 4.0 trends in automotive, electronics, and logistics, where traditional vision systems fail in unstructured settings.[3] By enabling flexible, scalable robot upgrades, Inbolt influences the ecosystem through global expansion (US via Detroit teams, Japan via Tokyo), partnerships with robot giants, and fueling 20+ million cycles in H1 2025 alone, accelerating adoption of adaptive robotics worldwide.[1][4]
Inbolt's $17M Series A in 2024 (equivalent to €15M) positions it for aggressive growth, with new US/Japan teams, hiring for robotics engineers, and product acceleration via investor networks like Exor Ventures.[3][4] Expect deeper penetration in high-volume sectors, AI enhancements for more tasks, and potential Series B amid 400% demand surge.[3] Trends like edge AI, cobot proliferation, and reshoring will amplify its trajectory, evolving Inbolt from pioneer to standard for factories chasing uptime and agility—transforming rigid automation into the flexible backbone manufacturers need to thrive.
