Why Manufacturing Needs a Fully-Integrated Automation Marketplace

February 07, 2025 | Harshad

Automation offers many options, but having too many choices can actually slow down its adoption for manufacturers. Over 42% of manufacturers in a recent McKinsey survey identified challenges in finding the right solution as one of the biggest bottlenecks for adoption. Conventional automation marketplaces simply gather parts, overlooking the importance of easy discovery and integration that derails projects and hurts ROI.

Vention’s fully integrated automation marketplace offers a fresh, more holistic approach to automation procurement, prioritizing value and reliability. It is the only platform offering curated parts discovery, which ensures that all components work seamlessly together. With over 5 million parts sold, the Marketplace is the go-to destination to procure from top brands such as FANUC, UR, ABB, Keyence, Zimmer Group, Schunk, OnRobot, and many more.

Eliminate Guesswork in Procurement with Plug-and-Play Automation Parts

The unique customizations in automation projects make it difficult to find standard guidelines or ensure part compatibility. Vention’s Marketplace significantly simplifies the manufacturer’s job. All components are made and/or tested to be compatible, allowing manufacturers to purchase parts and design with confidence within Vention’s Marketplace. Whether manufacturers need individual parts or complete solutions, it’s the ideal place to start automation projects. This approach eliminates the guesswork and risk associated with traditional designing and sourcing methods.

The time to value when using Vention is incredible. The ability to bring an idea to life for a customer and get parts quickly, allows us to get to market quickly, and makes for a happy customer.”
