Vention, a cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform (MAP) company based in Montreal, Canada, has become a Universal Robots Certified Solution Partners (CSP). The CSP certification is a way to validate the compatibility of Vention and Universal Robots’ hardware and software ecosystems for engineers looking at acquiring automation solutions.            

Vention and Universal Robots have partnered since 2017 under the UR+-certified components and applications program.

“Being part of [UR’s] Certified Solution Partner program was a logical step for both parties involved, said Vention spokesperson Sophie Ducharme. “Vention has a great track record of deploying automated solutions to customers with repeat sales. Universal Robots and Vention are known for providing quality products and customer service, and being part of this new program reflects that.”

Industrial Engineers can use Vention’s modular and customizable solutions to create UR-based robot cells and applications quickly, resulting in fast payback for manufacturers and automation providers.

“Over the years, Vention has supported over 1,000 Universal Robot deployments in North America and Europe, giving Vention unique expertise in the design and deployment of collaborative solutions,” said Patrick Halde, Chief Growth Officer at Vention. “With Vention’s simplified approach to industrial automation being very similar to Universal Robots, becoming a Certified Solution Partner was the logical next step in our partnership.”

Bryan Bird, Regional Sales Director of Universal Robots’ North America division, looks forward to building a network of CSPs with specific UR product, software, and application expertise.  “Our new CSP program recognizes deployment excellence and commitment to increased integration capacity, all to the benefit of our customers,” he says. “Vention is a great fit for this program, and we are excited to deploy even more cobot applications together, taking our partnership to the next level.”
