About the Transaction
VRSI has acquired Soft Agile GmbH to further expand its industrial software engineering capabilities and enhance its ability to deliver integrated automation, 3D metrology, and digital manufacturing solutions to OEM customers globally. The transaction strengthens VRSI’s capabilities in automation software development, systems integration, and smart factory enablement, while adding an established software engineering presence in Germany and across Europe. Together with VRSI’s prior acquisition of INOS Automationssoftware GmbH and INOS Hellas S.A., Soft Agile expands the Company’s European software development footprint and further strengthens its position within the German industrial automation, AI, machine vision, and 3D metrology ecosystem. Soft Agile contributes deep expertise in industrial software architecture, machine integration, and advanced manufacturing applications, complementing VRSI’s existing automation and metrology platform and creating a more comprehensive solution set for customers seeking end-to-end production optimization and intelligent automation capabilities.
