Five New Automation Solutions from Vention
1. Turnkey Robotic Sanding
With human error accounting for 80% of the manufacturing errors, quality is the top concern for the woodworking industry. Vention launched a turnkey automated sanding solution in collaboration with 3M to address the quality and labor shortage challenges of the industry. This versatile robotic sanding solution allows woodworkers to rapidly automate with no programming knowledge required. The intuitive interface allows you to create sanding recipes and adjust parameters to align perfectly with your current process, making it the easiest way to finish more doors per day.

2. Click and Customize Modular Robotic Welding
The welding industry is facing ongoing labor shortages and traditional automation solutions have been expensive, inflexible, and hard to deploy. Vention launched a fully modular robotic welding solution in Q1 to let manufacturers easily build, deploy, and adapt robotic welding cells to their specific needs.
Users can get all necessary components from a single platform to tailor the system to their shop floor requirements with unmatched flexibility. The best part about the click-and-customize solution is that it can be easily scaled up or diversified in response to market demands. The ‘Quick Start’ templates provide a solid foundation for designing a custom welding cell, accelerating implementation and making welding automation more accessible.

3. Click and Customize Robotic Machine Tending
Traditionally, automating machine tending required manufacturers to choose between a custom but costly solution, or turnkey but restricted system. Vention introduced a new approach in Q1 2025, combining the flexibility of customization with the speed of pre-engineered solutions. This innovative robotic machine tending solution can be deployed in just two weeks, making it both fast and easy to automate CNC machining.
