Why MachineBuilder™ 101 Is the Certification Every Automation Professional Needs

May 06, 2025 | Vention Official

As the automation industry accelerates, one challenge continues to grow: the talent gap and labor shortages. Manufacturers, systems integrators, and educators alike are struggling to find professionals trained to scope, design, deploy, simulate and operate modern automation systems. That’s why we created MachineBuilder™ 101—a foundational certification course built for the future of robotics and industrial automation.


As Vention’s foundational software, we believe a course on MachineBuilder™ is one of the best investments in automation training today. Why? Because it goes beyond theory. It teaches real-world skills using Vention’s unified cloud platform, which has already been used by thousands of professionals and more than 300 educational institutions across North America, South America, and Europe. Whether you’re just starting out or leading a team of engineers, this course gives you the confidence to build automation systems that work—from simulation to deployment.

Why Certification Matters

Certification validates more than knowledge—it validates capability. In a market where automation projects often hinge on speed, precision, and ROI, knowing that your team is certified on the tools they’re using is a major competitive edge. MachineBuilder™ 101 is the first in a series of certifications designed to ensure that both new and existing users of the Vention platform can measure and prove their proficiency.
For companies, that means building stronger, faster teams—teams trained with the latest in design, automation, and robotics technologies. For professionals, it means opening doors to new roles and staying ahead of industry advancements. And for educators, it means giving students hands-on experience with tools used by over 4,000 global manufacturers—offering exposure to real-world projects and technologies.

EDU: The Future of the Industry

We’re proud that educational institutions are a core part of Vention’s mission. Our partnership with organizations like Roots Education is helping bring robotics training into classrooms across the U.S., reaching thousands of students each year. These students are designing real systems, completing real assessments, and walking away with certifications that mean something in the job market.
MachineBuilder™ 101 is more than a course—it’s a launchpad for the next generation of automation experts. And thanks to our SCORM-compliant format and educational starter kits, it’s easier than ever to integrate into existing learning environments.

For Clients, New and Existing
