Vention's Breakthrough in Industrial Automation with MachineMotion AI

Meet Vention’s MachineMotion AI

Vention, a leader in cloud robotics, has introduced MachineMotion AI—an automation controller built to make factory automation easier to design, deploy, and run. Announced during the company’s 5th Annual Demo Day, the controller sits at the center of new updates across Vention’s manufacturing automation platform. The goal is straightforward: help manufacturers of all sizes streamline their work, from the first sketch to day-to-day operation.

A simpler path to automated equipment design

MachineMotion AI bridges two worlds that rarely feel seamless: traditional programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and modern robot programming environments. By connecting these approaches, it helps teams move from concept to production with fewer handoffs and less rework. The controller is built on NVIDIA’s Jetson platform and brings AI-driven path planning and perception to the factory floor, so robots can better understand their surroundings and plan how to move through them.

What MachineMotion AI brings to the floor

With NVIDIA acceleration under the hood, MachineMotion AI delivers the computing power needed for robots that rely on perception and intelligent motion. In practice, that means AI-enabled robots that can operate effectively across a range of environments—whether you’re updating an existing line or building a new cell. It’s also designed to fit with leading robotic brands, so it can adapt to current setups with minimal disruption.

Working better together with ABB

Vention also announced a collaboration with ABB Robotics that makes automation more accessible and faster to set up. Vention’s Manufacturing Automation Platform will work hand in hand with ABB’s GoFa collaborative robots (cobots), smoothing the path to integrated robotic cells on the factory floor. The result is a more direct route from design to a working system.

Built for small and midsize manufacturers, too

By pairing Vention’s platform with ABB’s cobots, teams can move more efficiently from layout to commissioning and ongoing operation. This is especially helpful for small and medium-sized manufacturers who need clear steps, predictable tooling, and easier integration without a long ramp-up.

Smarter software: MachineBuilder and MachineLogic

Alongside MachineMotion AI, Vention rolled out major upgrades to its software tools—MachineBuilder for design and MachineLogic for programming. Both now use Generative AI to remove friction from everyday tasks, so users can move faster without sacrificing control.

MachineBuilder: AI that helps you design faster

MachineBuilder has been reworked with a guided, more approachable experience. An AI-powered design assistant helps you choose the right components for your robotic cell, reducing the time spent hunting through large libraries. It shortens the path from an idea to a workable design and keeps you focused on the outcome, not the menu.

MachineLogic: programming and simulation, side by side

Vention’s MachineLogic now makes it easier to program, simulate, and share what you build. Users can create and distribute Python processes more efficiently, with an integrated development environment that brings programming and real-time simulation into one place. You can test, iterate, and refine without shifting contexts.

What’s new inside MachineLogic

Highlights include a Python programming assistant that generates code from prompts, letting you move from intent to script faster. You can also build custom operator interfaces for tailored on-machine controls, and tap into advanced automatic frame detection for setups that need to adjust to changing conditions. Together, these updates support engineers and developers through development and deployment.

See it live at IMTS

If you want to see these updates in action, you can find Vention at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS). Meet with Vention executives and explore the latest products up close, including MachineMotion AI and an ABB collaborative robot cell.
