Perfect picks, every time
From liftgates to apertures, Inbolt gives robots the intelligence to locate, pick, and place parts with precision, even when racks shift or parts aren’t perfectly aligned.
Why pick & place and de-racking need real-time vision
Pick & place and de-racking automation move parts — liftgates, doors, apertures, underbody rails — between racks, containers and the production line. Both fail for the same reason: parts are never exactly where the robot expects. Racks wear and shift, manual loading introduces placement errors, and blind robots mispick, collide, or stop the line.
Inbolt’s robot-mounted 3D camera and AI localization pinpoint each part’s true position in milliseconds and update the robot’s trajectory on every cycle, on the pick, and again on the placement. That cuts cycle times by up to 30% compared with laser scanning, delivers 10× repeatability, and eliminates collisions. At Stellantis’ Detroit Jefferson plant, Inbolt de-racking cut breakdowns by 97% with ROI in three months, and a second cell built in-house with Inbolt vision reached 100% picking accuracy.

Integrate the Inbolt driver in your existing robot program without heavy modifications.
Proven results in real factories
FAQ
Everything you need to know about using Inbolt for placement and de-racking.
-
De-racking automation uses robots to unload parts from custom racks and position them for the next production step. Inbolt’s vision-guided system identifies each part’s position and orientation in real time, even if racks shift or parts are misaligned, ensuring precise and collision-free handling.
-
Our robot-mounted 3D camera and AI recalculate the pick trajectory in milliseconds based on the actual live position of the part. If a rack or part is too far out of tolerance, Inbolt’s safety zone triggers an abort mission signal, avoiding collisions and alerting an operator to adjust manually.
-
Yes. Inbolt retrofits existing robots quickly without mechanical rework. We’ve deployed retrofits in hours, achieving up to 97% downtime reduction and a 3-month ROI.
-
Customers typically see up to 30% faster cycle times compared to laser scanning or fixed vision systems. This leads to higher throughput and improved OEE across stations.
-
Yes. Inbolt is currently compatible with FANUC, ABB, Universal Robots, KUKA and Yaskawa. Our integration is hardware-agnostic, making it easy to standardize across your factory.
-
Most customers achieve ROI in 3–6 months thanks to reduced downtime, higher throughput, and elimination of costly fixture modifications.
