Vention, which offers the cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform, or MAP, yesterday announced a partnership with Flexxbotics, which supports robot-driven manufacturing. The companies said their combined offering for robotic workcell digitalization in next-generation machining environments is now available.<\/p>\n

The partners claimed that customers can now benefit from the combination of Flexxbotics’ machine-tending<\/a> system with Vention<\/a>‘s MAP offering. Customers can now use Vention’s cloud-robotic tools and modular automation hardware to design custom workcells, while also taking advantage of Flexxbotics’ software-as-a-service\/hybrid system.<\/p>\n

Flexxbotics also said it offers services for deployment and continuous operation to achieve “lights out” manufacturing. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with Vention to deliver custom designs for robotic workcell digitalization,” said Tyler Bouchard, co-founder and CEO of the company<\/a>, in a release<\/a>. <\/span>“We understand the necessity for the fleets of robots in the smart factory to connect, communicate, and work interactively with the CNC machinery and inspection equipment to provide the closed-loop coordination necessary for autonomous process control.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We make robots go far beyond simply working with the machinery,” he added. “The robots command and control the machines to optimize production, enabling greater throughput and \u2018lights-out\u2019 manufacturing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vention provides accessibility; Flexxbotics digitalizes workcells<\/h2>\n

Vention said that by providing a single digital environment, it makes industrial automation more accessible to manufacturing professionals. The Montreal-based company<\/a> claimed that it combines 3D design, code-free industrial programming, and a library of more than 4,000 modular automation components.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the library, users can navigate <\/span>through the stages of designing, creating, deploying, and operating automation all within one platform, it asserted. <\/span>Vention said it aims to empower all manufacturing professionals, from automation beginners to advanced integrators, to efficiently design and procure the systems for their unique requirements across the factory floor. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once the design process is done, Flexxbotics staffers can deploy and optimize the Vention-designed robotic systems along with its own system for machine tending. <\/p>\n

\u201cVention\u2019s mission to democratize industrial automation addresses the manufacturing world\u2019s toughest challenges,” stated Etienne Lacroix, co-founder and CEO of Vention. “With production reshoring, labor shortage, and salary inflation, companies are looking for breakthrough solutions to automate their shop floors.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Through this partnership, manufacturers now have access to a complete, turnkey offering, leveraging Vention\u2019s Manufacturing Automation Platform and Flexxbotics advanced machine tending solution, along with their knowledge and expertise in deploying complex workcells,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
