We grew up surrounded by LEGO. Beyond the bricks were budding engineers dismantling VCRs, building life-size airplanes, and designing suspension bikes from the ground up. We eventually turned our childhood hobbies into lifelong careers and experienced firsthand the first generation of CAD software, from I-DEAS and Mechanical Desktop, to Catia and Pro-Engineer. Today the process to design, simulate, procure, and commission industrial equipment is complex and slow. It’s targeted towards a small group of experts and it limits widespread adoption. We envision a world where the process to build industrial equipment is as straightforward, and enjoyable, as building with LEGO. A world where you imagine your machine in the morning and build it in the afternoon. We are pioneering an industry where agility, speed and simplicity meet industrial automation. Our mission is to make machine design accessible to everyone by re-engineering the process of designing, simulating, procuring and commissioning industrial equipment. Vention helps some of the most innovative manufacturing companies automate their production floor in just a few days. Vention’s online-first, manufacturing automation platform (MAP) enables its clients to design, automate, deploy, and operate manufacturing equipment directly from their web browser.
