Inbolt is on a mission to make vision-guided robotics the norm, not the exception, on the shop floor. Automation is no longer optional in manufacturing, but traditional solutions are costly due to the need for rigid infrastructure like jigs, indexing systems, and stop-and-go lines. Inbolt is changing that. Their AI-powered robotic guidance enables flexible, smart automation in unstructured and dynamic environments. The generalist AI requires no custom tuning, adapts to any application, and delivers real-time, vision-based robot guidance. They’re trusted by leaders like Stellantis, Renault, Toyota and Ford with deployments in over 50 factories across Europe, the U.S., and Japan. In particular, their real-time guidance capability enables automation on continuously moving assembly lines, the final frontier of factory automation. Backed by $20M from SOSV, Exor, and MIG, Inbolt is setting a new standard for robotics in manufacturing.

Industrial operations lose millions every year because of downtime, poor visibility, disconnected data, and slow decision making. Most fleets and heavy equipment still operate with incomplete information, siloed systems, and reactive processes. Talpasolutions helps industrial companies turn operational data into clear insights that improve reliability, increase utilization, and reduce cost. We bring machine data, telematics, and operational context together so maintenance and operations teams can act faster and with confidence. Our platform connects multi brand fleets, identifies patterns that predict failures, and delivers practical recommendations that improve performance. Whether you work in mining, construction, logistics, material handling, or heavy industry, you get one place to see what is happening across your operation. We help teams move from gut feeling to fact based decisions. This leads to fewer failures, better planning, safer operations, and measurable savings across your equipment and processes. What we deliver Higher equipment availability Reduced unplanned downtime Improved fleet utilization Clear insights from multi brand and multi system data Early failure detection and predictive alerts Better maintenance planning Return on investment from day one Who we serve Mining operators Construction companies Industrial and material handling operations Fleet managers Reliability engineers Operations directors Heavy equipment owners and rental companies Our belief Good people should not look inefficient because of poor visibility.
