Inatoz Robotics Automation Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2017 by Sridhar Gujar is an emerging leader in providing custom automation solutions tailored to the needs of a variety of industries, including plastics, pharmaceuticals, dairy, and automotive sectors. With Mr Gujar as the director, the company focuses on delivering efficient automation systems that help businesses overcome manpower shortages, streamline processes, and improve productivity. Inatoz Robotics will be showcasing its innovative solutions at the Metal Forming Expo 2025, scheduled to take place from April 11 to 13, 2025, at the Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre (PIECC). The expo will provide a significant platform for Inatoz to present its advanced automation technologies to a broader audience, while also engaging with industry leaders and potential collaborators.
Mr Gujarat’s journey into the automation industry began during his tenure with a multinational corporation (MNC). During this time, he recognized a significant gap in industries where manual labor and inconsistent processes were limiting productivity. “In 2017, I observed a growing need for systematic automation solutions, where businesses could optimize their processes and reduce reliance on manual labor,” Mr Gujar shares. This realization prompted him to start Inatoz Robotics, with the vision of providing tailored automation solutions for different industrial sectors, including plastic, pharmaceutical, dairy, and automotive.
Over the years, Inatoz Robotics has expanded its footprint in India and beyond. “The vision for the next 5 years is to establish Inatoz as one of India’s most prominent automation solution providers. With a focus on systematic processes and commitment to delivery, the company is on its path to further growth, not just within India but also internationally. We are already exporting to Saudi Arabia, and we are looking to expand our presence in more global markets,” Mr Gujarat shared.
The automation sector, particularly in the field of Special Purpose Machines (SPM), presents unique challenges. Unlike the standardized processes seen in warehouse automation, SPM projects are inherently diverse. Each project requires a custom solution based on the client’s specific product needs and manufacturing processes. Mr Gujar shares, “While warehouse automation follows a more standardized approach, every automation solution we provide is unique and tailored to the individual client.”
This customization makes the automation solutions from Inatoz Robotics especially valuable to industries that require specialized systems, such as the pharmaceutical and dairy industries. “We address the specific needs of each sector, ensuring that every automation system we provide aligns with the client’s production goals,” Sridhar explained.
Technological Innovations and Local Manufacturing
A key challenge for Inatoz Robotics is sourcing the necessary technological components, especially the controllers or “brains” of the robotic systems. While the company manufactures most of its systems in India, it relies on imports for critical components such as chips and controllers. “The technology behind our systems is often imported from countries like China, but we are actively working on developing our own controllers locally, in collaboration with a company based in Bangalore,” Mr Gujarat shared.
This initiative to develop locally sourced components is seen as a major step toward reducing dependency on foreign suppliers and positioning Inatoz Robotics as a leader in Indian-made automation solutions. “Once we are able to locally produce these key components, we expect to significantly enhance our capabilities and expand our reach in the market,” he added.
As part of its ongoing efforts to promote its innovations and expand its market presence, Inatoz Robotics will be showcasing its products and technologies at the Metal Forming Expo 2025, will bring together industry leaders and experts to explore the latest advancements in metal forming, sheet metal working, and automation technologies.
The Metal Forming Expo provides an excellent platform for Inatoz Robotics to present its cutting-edge automation solutions to a broader audience. Mr Gujar shares, “We see the expo as a valuable opportunity to introduce our custom automation solutions to a wider market, highlighting the versatility and efficiency of our systems across different industries.”
At the event, Inatoz Robotics plans to exhibit its unique solutions in automation, focusing on the customization and flexibility that sets them apart from other standard automation technologies. “Unlike other industries that rely on one-size-fits-all solutions, we tailor our automation systems to meet the specific needs of each client, making our systems more effective and efficient,”
The Metal Forming Expo will also serve as an important networking event for Inatoz Robotics. By participating in the expo, the company aims to connect with potential clients, industry partners, and collaborators, further expanding its reach in the automation sector.
Inatoz Robotics sees the expo as an essential branding opportunity. “This is a platform where we can demonstrate the strength of our brand and showcase the quality of our products to the Indian market,” Mr Gujarat remarked. The company’s presence at the expo will not only highlight its automation solutions but also reinforce its commitment to delivering high-quality, custom-built systems for a wide range of industries.
As the automation industry continues to evolve, Inatoz Robotics is poised to remain at the forefront of innovation. The company’s emphasis on providing personalized, tailored automation solutions gives it a distinct competitive edge in the market.
For businesses looking to improve efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce reliance on manual labor, automation presents an undeniable opportunity. Inatoz Robotics is committed to helping industries across India and beyond make the transition to smarter, more efficient manufacturing processes.
With the upcoming Metal Forming Expo 2025 just around the corner, Inatoz Robotics is excited to showcase its latest advancements and continue its mission of empowering industries with cutting-edge automation solutions. The company’s participation in the event underscores its dedication to fostering technological innovation and strengthening its position as a leader in the Indian automation sector.
