Keynote Speech
Zero-Shot Automation™: End of Trial-and-Error in Industrial Automation
Etienne Lacroix, Vention Founder & CEO
One of the biggest challenges in automation is that it has always been painful and complex to execute, often involving weeks of planning, overly complex hardware, patchwork software, and trial-and-error. That was until now. The world’s only AI-powered, full-stack automation platform is here. There’s no need to start automation projects from scratch as AI taps into the accumulated learnings from thousands of successful deployments to reimagine the traditional workflow. You can now design with AI, program with AI, and deploy AI-powered robots, with certainty of getting it right the first time.
This is Zero-Shot Automation™.
Product Announcements
1. Introducing Vention Projects: Centralized Project Management for Manufacturing Automation
Madeleine King, Product Manager - Web
Building on our commitment to streamline the design-to-deployment process, we’re excited to unveil Vention Projects, a way to help you make the right decisions from day one. With Vention Projects, your idea doesn’t just move forward, it becomes a well-designed, future-proof solution that’s ready to deliver value from day one. Vention Projects t transforms the traditionally fragmented experience of scoping and deploying automation into a cohesive, intelligent workflow. It brings together scattered communications, project documentation such as CAD files and quotes, multiple solution designs, and centralized budget history into a single, unified workspace.
2. MachineBuilder is Getting More Intuitive with Powerful New Features
Brendan Sterne, Chief Product Officer
Since day one, MachineBuilder has been about making the design process more intuitive and production-ready. At Demo Day 2025, we’re unveiling the next evolution of this promise. Get ready for faster, smarter, and more intuitive automation design.
This year brings smoother navigation, effortless customization, and the power to turn complex builds into reality in just a few clicks. MachineBuilder’s built-in AI assistant is getting even smarter, and all-new design tree and grouping functions are set to enhance control over assemblies. That’s not all. Demo Day 2025 will also showcase a reimagined panel creation flow and the ability to import 2D floor plans directly into your designs.
3. AI-Powered Programming and Simulation Get Smarter in MachineLogic
Audrey Muchembled, Product Manager, Digital Workflow
Programming is one of the biggest bottlenecks for automation. MachineLogic has consistently added functionalities and intelligence to make this process simpler. Last year, we revealed the AI Copilot in MachineLogic that can let anyone on the shop floor easily program and control robots. This year, MachineLogic is scaling up its capabilities further, bridging the gap between python and no-code programming.
The new MachineLogic experience will give developers more flexibility to code in their own environments, a more dependable AI-copilot, and bring true software-defined configurations for automation components. Everything on the factory floor will now be plug-and-play!
4. Deploying Intelligent Robots Is Now Possible with Physical AI
Francois Giguere, Chief Technology Officer
Physical AI is here and already performing tasks that previously required human perception, dexterity, and fluid movement. In Demo Day 2025, you’ll be able to see firsthand how the new AI Operator from Vention can free human talent to introduce a new era of productivity.
Showcased first in Automate 2025, the AI Operator brings true physical AI to manufacturing. Leveraging advanced AI models, this groundbreaking solution enables robots to see, detect, and pick diverse objects without any need to manually reprogram them. All it takes is uploading the CAD file for the system to automatically adapt to the environment to take on tasks that have been beyond the scope of automation till now.
5. From Idea to Production: Turnkey and Click & Customize Solutions
Catherine Lavallée, Product Line Manager, Applications
In 2024, we outlined Vention’s vision for the PC moment in manufacturing automation. It starts with the powerful idea of productizing automation to reduce variables. In Demo Day 2025, we will showcase how Vention’s pre-engineered solutions are already moving manufacturing in this direction.
Drawing on the experience of over 20,000 deployments , Vention’s pre-engineered solutions enable automation in just a few clicks, saving design time and eliminating integration complexity. We’ll showcase our Click & Customize family, featuring welding solutions with six pre-configured designs, machine tending systems with pre-wired bases and compatible accessories, and our Rapid Series including the 3M-partnered sanding system and redesigned palletizer. Additionally for operations, we’ll demonstrate RemoteView Recording for instant issue replay, MachineAnalytics for real-time performance monitoring, and RemoteSupport for direct access to Vention engineers.
Zero-Shot Automation™ isn’t just a promise but the reality of modern manufacturing, delivering proven solutions, continuous support, and intelligent connectivity. The future of automation is already here and ready to work.
