Inbolt provides an AI-powered, real-time robot guidance system called GuideNOW, leveraging 3D vision to enable industrial robots to operate autonomously in unstructured and dynamic environments. Their solution significantly reduces automation costs by eliminating the need for custom jigs and indexing tooling, and drastically cuts programming time to under 30 minutes. GuideNOW improves line productivity through real-time guidance, which is crucial for applications on moving assembly lines and in environments with unpredictable elements. The technology is hardware-agnostic and boasts 100x faster processing than state-of-the-art algorithms, allowing for flexible and reliable automation across various manufacturing processes like assembly, handling, and finishing.
