In context
In late September 2025, industrial automation was increasingly driven by the need to overcome labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. However, fragmented robotics deployments and rigid enterprise software hindered large-scale adoption. Robot orchestration—software that coordinates diverse fleets and integrates with existing systems—was emerging as a critical layer to unify physical operations.
What was reported
InOrbit.AI announced the close of a $10 million Series A funding round, co-led by L’Attitude Ventures and Globant Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Globant. The funds will accelerate development of its robot orchestration platform and expand its presence in manufacturing, logistics, retail, and hospitality.
The company’s platform, InOrbit Space Intelligence, acts as a central nervous system for robot operations, turning fragmented automation into cohesive systems that work with human teams. It is already used by enterprises such as Colgate-Palmolive and Genentech.
InOrbit is integrating agentic AI capabilities into physical operations, enabling autonomous decision-making. Through the partnership with Globant, the companies will leverage Globant Enterprise AI to develop agentic solutions, with Space Intelligence bridging digital and physical workflows. The platform enhances existing WMS, ERP, and operational systems rather than replacing them.
“We are in the midst of an explosion in robotics, with robots coming in all shapes, sizes and functions. At InOrbit, we make robots work better, together.” — Florian Pestoni, founder and CEO of InOrbit.AI
Why it mattered
This funding underscored the growing importance of orchestration software as a foundational layer for scaling robotics in industry. As robot fleets diversify—from mobile robots to humanoids—centralized orchestration becomes essential for interoperability and efficiency. The involvement of Globant’s enterprise AI expertise signaled a trend toward integrating physical automation with broader digital transformation strategies, potentially accelerating adoption across sectors.
