How AI is used

Vention is a platform that integrates CAD software, programming tools, and physical hardware to help manufacturers automate their factory floors. The system allows users to design equipment in the cloud and order modular components designed for plug-and-play compatibility.

It is designed for a range of users, including small and medium-sized businesses, enterprises, and research labs. The platform supports various manufacturing needs, such as robotic cells, conveyor systems, and automated picking solutions.

Buyers can use the software to create digital twins for simulation before deploying physical hardware. The platform also includes remote monitoring and support tools to help manage equipment health once it is operational.

Buyers should confirm if the modular hardware ecosystem meets their specific structural requirements and whether the subscription tiers align with their needs for remote monitoring and support.
