The Journey
Vention entered the scene to disrupt the traditionally slow and expensive world of custom industrial automation. Their journey started with the creation of a "MachineBuilder" 3D environment that allows engineers to design industrial equipment online using a library of modular parts, effectively turning months of engineering work into just a few days.
The Vention story is one of speed and "democratized" automation. By combining a digital design platform with a standardized hardware ecosystem, they have lowered the barrier to entry for manufacturers looking to automate their shop floors. Their narrative highlights the shift toward agile hardware, where machines are designed, ordered, and assembled with unprecedented efficiency.
As factories modernize with Vention's hardware, they often utilize Tulip for worker guidance or specialized ERP systems like Aptean to manage the supply chain.
