Vention

Vention is a cloud-based manufacturing automation platform that enables engineers and manufacturers to design, simulate, automate, and deploy industrial equipment directly from a web browser. It connects mechanical design, control systems, and procurement into a single environment, reducing the complexity and time traditionally required to move from concept to commissioned equipment. The platform is designed to support applications such as machine tending, palletizing, assembly, packaging, and custom industrial workstations and test benches.

Key capabilities include an online 3D CAD environment with a modular component library, allowing users to rapidly design equipment using pre-validated parts. Integrated automation tools let users configure motion control, robotics, and safety systems through a visual programming interface without extensive PLC expertise. The platform also supports real-time simulation and digital twin capabilities, enabling validation of machine behavior before physical deployment. Direct integration with Vention’s hardware ecosystem and online ordering streamlines procurement, while built-in version control and collaboration tools support multi-stakeholder engineering workflows.
