feedy is a flexible, camera-based parts-feeding system from Paro AG. An integrated camera automatically detects components and feeds them with precision—without manual setup or tool changes.

feedy uses image processing and AI to automatically identify and grasp parts — regardless of their shape, material, or size.

feedy is suitable for almost all bulk parts — plastic, metal, rubber. Its suitability is assessed within a week as part of a free part evaluation.

feedy achieves feeding rates of up to 40 parts per minute — depending on component size and gripping complexity.

No. feedy itself does not require an enclosure—making it ideal for collaborative operation with people, cobots, and humanoid robots.

Yes. feedy was specifically developed for use with collaborative robots and is compatible with all common cobot and robot systems. Our guide, “Parts Feeding for Cobots,” explains which type of parts feeding is best suited for your cobot cell.

Yes. We first evaluate your parts, which takes up to one week. If they are suitable, feedy runs in your line for 3 months with your own robot. Then you decide: purchase at the quoted price or return it for a flat fee of €5,000. Testing sample parts in a lab is common for flexible feeders; with feedy you also test it in your own production.

Typically less than a week. You send us your components — we assess their suitability and inform you of the results.

You return the system. Only a flat fee of € 5,000 for expenses applies — no further costs, no obligations.

We clarify the exact conditions individually. Contact us — we will find a fair solution.

If your parts are already qualified and all interface preparations are complete, feedy can be integrated into your existing line in under an hour — without modifications or lengthy downtime.

With a little practice, it takes less than an hour, provided the part has been confirmed as suitable in the part evaluation. The program is created and saved once. Switching to this part later takes about one minute: swap out the robot’s gripper, change the parts in the hopper, select the program, and start. Our Academy video on YouTube shows how the setup process works.

feedy is compatible with all common cobot and industrial robot systems, including Universal Robots, FANUC, KUKA, and others.

If you have an on-site technician — no. feedy is designed for easy self-installation. Our team can provide remote or on-site support if needed.

The feedy is ISO 8-compliant and can be used under certain conditions in pharmaceutical, medtech, and other cleanroom-critical environments.

Vibratory feeders are tool-dependent — each new component requires expensive retooling. feedy visually recognizes parts and changes over without modifications. This saves time, costs, and downtime.

feedy is a good fit if you frequently change parts, want to get up and running quickly, and work with cobots or humanoid robots. For applications with high cleanroom requirements (better than ISO 8), specialized systems are the better choice; feedy is ISO 8-compliant. We’ll determine whether feedy is suitable for your parts within a week at most. After that, you can test feedy in your facility for 3 months.

Three design types have become established on the market. Modular systems combine a vibration platform, camera, hopper, and controller as individual components; a well-known example is Asyril with Asycube and EYE+. Integrated feeders come with the camera and lighting already pre-wired, such as the Flexfeeder from Flexfactory. Complete cells additionally include a robot and safety enclosure, such as the FlexType R from RNA. feedy from Paro AG is a compact, all-in-one unit for cobots and humanoid robots that does not require an enclosure itself: setup takes less than an hour, changeovers take about one minute, and it can process up to 40 parts per minute.

feedy from Paro AG is an all-in-one device; the feed mechanism, camera, lighting, and control system are all integrated into a single unit. feedy does not require an enclosure of its own and thus works directly with the cobot. Setup takes less than an hour, and a product changeover takes about one minute.

Asyril relies on a modular system. The vibration platform (Asycube), camera-based control system (EYE+), and hopper (Asyfill) can be combined individually and, according to the manufacturer, are compatible with all common industrial robots and control systems.

With the Flexfeeder, Flexfactory offers a feeder with an integrated camera and lighting tower. According to the manufacturer, it is compatible with nearly all industrial robots and is also suitable for cobots.

With FlexType R, RNA offers a complete cell featuring a 6-axis robot, image processing, a hopper, and safety guards.

There’s also a difference when it comes to purchasing: You can test feedy for 3 months in your own system. After that, you can either purchase it at the listed price or return feedy for a flat fee of €5,000.

Information on competitors based on manufacturer data, as of October 2026.

feedy is developed and manufactured by Paro AG in Subingen, in the canton of Solothurn; Swiss Made. Paro AG has been active in the automation sector since 1986 and has delivered over 600 automation systems. Alongside Asyril and Flexfactory, Paro AG is one of Switzerland’s leading providers of flexible parts feeding systems; feedy is designed as a compact, all-in-one unit for cobot cells and does not require an enclosure of its own.
