Inxpect develops and manufactures advanced 3D safety radar systems designed for industrial environments. The company's core product is a range of proprietary radar sensors and control units that accurately detect human presence and movement in hazardous zones, enabling safe human-robot collaboration and efficient machinery operation without physical barriers. This technology offers robust, non-optical safeguarding solutions adaptable to diverse industrial applications and conditions.
The company was founded in 2015 by Luca Salgarelli, who also serves as its CEO, and Marino Piotti. Salgarelli identified a critical need for innovative safety solutions within the industrial sector, recognizing the potential of radar technology to create safer interactions between humans and machinery where traditional methods fell short. This insight drove the development of their distinct approach to industrial safety.
Inxpect's products are utilized by manufacturers across various industries that integrate automated processes and collaborative robotics, requiring precise and reliable human detection to prevent accidents. The company's vision is to lead the evolution of industrial safety, providing intelligent, non-intrusive systems that enhance worker protection and optimize operational efficiency, thereby enabling safer and more productive industrial futures globally.

Inxpect is an Italian technology company specializing in radar-based safety systems for industrial automation and robotics. It develops smart sensors that create 3D virtual safety zones to detect human presence and prevent machinery from operating, enhancing safety in collaborative environments.[1][2][4] Serving manufacturers and robotics firms, Inxpect addresses the critical need for reliable, non-contact detection in dynamic industrial settings where traditional sensors like lasers or cameras fall short due to dust, light, or speed constraints.[1][3] With 40 employees, $25.9M in total funding including a $20M Series B led by Fondo Italiano d’Investimento, and reported revenue of $10.9M, the company demonstrates strong growth momentum in the expanding collaborative robotics market projected to exceed $40B by 2024.[2]
Founded in 2015 (with some sources noting 2016) in Brescia, Italy, Inxpect emerged from a vision to revolutionize industrial safety through advanced radar technology.[2][3] The company's "extraordinary team and corporate culture" drove the development of the world's most advanced safety radar, earning it status as a member of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) since 2019.[1] Key early traction came from achieving SIL (Safety Integrity Level) certification—the only company worldwide for safety radars—validating its tech for high-risk industrial applications.[3] A pivotal moment was the $20M Series B funding in a combined round from investors like Fondo Italiano d’Investimento's FITEC fund, 360 Capital, and 8A+ of Banca Generali, fueling global expansion.[2]
Inxpect rides the surge in collaborative robotics (cobots) and Industry 4.0, where human-robot interaction demands foolproof safety to unlock productivity gains.[2] Timing is ideal as the industrial robots market nears $40B by 2024, driven by labor shortages, automation demands post-pandemic, and regulations mandating advanced safety.[2] Market forces like rising e-commerce, manufacturing reshoring, and EU safety directives favor radar tech over vision-based systems vulnerable to environmental interference.[1][3] By enabling safer cobots, Inxpect influences the ecosystem, accelerating adoption in automotive, logistics, and warehousing while setting new benchmarks for non-contact sensing.
Inxpect is poised for accelerated growth through international expansion, leveraging its funding to penetrate high-volume sectors like logistics and e-commerce automation. Trends like AI-enhanced robotics and stricter global safety regs will amplify demand for its certified radars, potentially doubling revenue as cobot deployments scale. Its influence may evolve from niche innovator to ecosystem standard-setter, powering the next wave of human-safe factories—transforming industrial safety from a cost center to a competitive edge, much like its 3D zones now shield workers invisibly.
Inxpect has raised $27.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $21.0M Series B in February 2021.
