Vention

Manufacturers walking IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show this year aren't just going for the demo booths. What's better is having them leave with an idea of which automation solutions can be deployed and scaled on their actual floors. Vention is bringing both (and more!) to McCormick Place in Chicago. We've got the fun demos, but we also have real experts at the booth showing you the technical behind-the-scenes of what an end-to-end solution could look like for your factory.  Brendan Sterne, Vention's Chief Product Officer, will also speak on September 15th about how Physical AI is closing the gap between what factories need and where automation fails to deliver. If you're on the show floor, stop by booth #236860 in the North Hall and check us out!

We don’t need to tell you that it only takes one scratch or misread label to scrap a whole PCBA board. Luckily with GRIIP, that’s not something teams have to worry about.  Vention's GRIIP handles fragile tasks with reliability, and without flinching. It inspects, sorts, and labels delicate boards with the precision the job demands. Skip the extra headcount and manual work, and let #PhysicalAI do the careful tasks autonomously. It’s one connected cell, and Physical AI built for your floor. Talk to a Vention expert to get a free demo: https://hubs.la/Q04vLrxJ0 #Robotics #ManufacturingAutomation #IndustrialAutomation #GRIIP

New intelligence on a proven foundation? Sounds like a recipe for success. Physical AI is exciting because it's early, which is also why deploying it on an unproven stack is risky. GRIIP runs on the same Vention platform that already deploys automation across 28,000+ machines in 6,000+ factories.  You reach the frontier of AI on a foundation that's already carried production at scale. See the platform behind GRIIP: https://hubs.la/Q04vLsWq0  The Floor Takeaway: You get the new capability without making your plant the beta test for the hardware under it. #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #IndustrialAutomation #Robotics

Skilled operators for high-variability picking? They can be hard to find and harder to keep. Every open shift on that line is a gap in output. That’s why we’re introducing our next webinar: Physical AI : Anatomy of a Rapid Operator AI Cell Join Jimmy Li, Director of Physical AI, Chinmay Mulay, Software Development Manager, and Clémentine Ruet Suquet, MSc., Senior Vention PMM as they walk through what it actually takes to put a Rapid Operator AI cell into production to fill that gap. They’ll discuss Physical AI-powered bin picking, how it adapts to unpredictable tasks and failed picks, and how it holds a 99% pick success rate shift after shift, with no operator intervention. Register here: https://hubs.la/Q04vcPPg0 The Floor Takeaway: you don't need more people on the hardest shift. You need a system that doesn't need a shift at all. #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #Automation #Robotics #IndustrialAI

The Vention Experience Center is getting a new machine! The Rapid Series Palletizer 3.0 is being installed at the VXC. Up to 30kg payload, 13 picks per minute, and the highest stack height on the market. Operators can create pallet recipes and configure SKUs directly from the touchscreen, no programming required. If you're evaluating palletizing automation, this is your chance to test the system with your own products before you buy. Bring your boxes, bags, or pails and see how it handles your specific product.

Static bin picking is easy.  The problem is that real factory floors aren't static. Today’s GRIIP video shows the arm handling the hard parts: 👉 Light objects 👉 Objects placed dynamically  👉 No fixed positions to memorize.  Watch it pick, adjust, and place without a single retry. That matters more than it sounds like it should.  GRIIP is built for the version of the floor that actually exists, offering 99% first-pick success, no retraining when the layout changes, and deployment in under a day.

On today’s Physical AI Fridays, we’re talking about the gap between demo and deployment. That gap is what our recent webinar set out to explain. Vention CTO Francois Giguere and VP of Applications Mathieu Desmarais broke down what it actually takes to move vision-guided robotics from a working pilot to a system the floor can depend on. Four strategies define what scales or stalls a project. - Choose a pipeline over a black box. A modular system you can troubleshoot and upgrade matters more than the camera you pick. - Plan for a phased ramp-up. De-risk with acceptance tests, train your operators, and leave room for what the lab never showed. - Surround AI with traditional automation. Pair AI with standard automation so it's reliable enough that operators actually adopt it. - Stop stitching vendors together. Multiple suppliers slow deployments, so treat this as one integrated solution, not a box of parts. Learn more from the full webinar here: https://hubs.la/Q04vnqYC0 The Floor Takeaway: The gap between a demo and a dependable line is a deployment problem you can de-risk, with a phased ramp-up, acceptance tests, and one accountable vendor instead of five. #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #IndustrialAutomation #Robotics

If you’re looking to automate. You’re looking for industrial-grade reliability.  MachineMotion AI is built for exactly that.  🔹Automation runs up to 3,000W of actuator power 🔹No need for separate drives  🔹The IP54 rating is a step up from the IP30 many industrial controllers ship with 🔹Built-in cellular connectivity keeps it online without relying on the plant's network 🔹Updates ship over the air instead of a truck roll. And that reliability carries over to the support side. Connect MMAI and subscribe to one of our post-sale service licenses after deployment.  With that, you get MachineAnalyticsTM, which will track performance and flag issues before they become downtime. RemoteViewTM will give you a live view into what's happening on the floor. A Vention expert can connect to you via Remote Support, and you can use Remote Access to work directly on the pendant if needed.

The cheapest automation quote on the table usually means a big integration bill down the line.  Vendors make a "No rip-and-replace" offer and promise a smarter version of the robot you already use. But what arrives is a stack of purchase orders: vision software, camera, robot, gripper, and someone to make integration possible. It’s five quotes, five support contracts, and no specific vendor to call when the cell stops picking at 2 AM. That’s one of the reasons Rapid Operator AI arrives as a single cell. GRIIP, cameras and sensors, robot and gripper, MachineMotion AI control, remote support and analytics. Vention alone provides one quote, one support contact, one partner accountable for the outcome.  The Floor Takeaway: an AI layer on someone else's robot makes you the system integrator. One cell makes that someone else's job. #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #IndustrialAutomation #Robotics

30% faster cycle times? Don’t mind if we do. Watch Vention’s recently improved GRIIP cycle time on an application, side by side with the original version. It’s 30% more speed, with the same robot, camera, and unsorted parts. Technology to produce reliable bin-picking technology is one thing, but making it reliable, autonomous, and fast is a whole new level. And that is why Vention develops the full Physical AI stack. Perception, motion planning, and control are engineered together on a platform that's used in 4,000 factories (and counting).  https://hubs.la/Q04vgWtd0  #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #Automation #Robotics #IndustrialAI
