Context of Smart Industrialisation
The manufacturing industry is evolving towards finer automation, where every robot movement must be precise and adaptable. The main challenge lies in the communication between perception and action, often a source of costly errors.
Current solutions largely rely on vision guidance, but they are limited by processing time and environmental constraints. This is where Inbolt steps in with a different approach: physical AI integrated directly into the robot’s gripper.
The Inbolt Technology in Detail
Inbolt allows robots to grasp parts “as they are”, without requiring precise positioning before pickup. Once the part is secured, a manual localisation adjusts the trajectory in real time.
This method significantly reduces the need for pre‑alignment and enables robots to adapt to variations in shape or weight of parts, thereby improving process flexibility.
Impact on Production Cycles
With over 40 million robotised cycles already deployed thanks to vision guidance, Inbolt has demonstrated that it is possible to increase success rates by up to +30% by eliminating manual returns.
The fiscal integration of this technology translates into reduced downtime and improved assembly quality, which directly reflects on operational costs.
Deployment in Modern Factories
Deploying physical AI requires a seamless integration with existing systems, notably PLCs and production management software. Inbolt offers simple APIs to facilitate this connection.
Companies that have adopted the solution report an ROI in less than a year, thanks to reduced cycle times and increased productivity.
Future Outlook and Challenges
The future of automation relies on robots capable of understanding and adapting their actions without human intervention. Inbolt paves the way by combining tactile perception with advanced motion planning.
The main challenges remain standardising interfaces and training staff to fully exploit these capabilities, but current results are promising.
Evolution of the User Interface
Engineers are working on a more intuitive interface that allows operators to quickly set grasp parameters without deep technical knowledge.
