Vention

We’re proud to be featured by Vention in a new case study highlighting our manufacturing ramp! To meet growing demand for our thin, flexible, radiation-hardened solar cells, we partnered with Vention to automate key steps in our manufacturing process and increase throughput by 30x compared to our pilot production line. Using MachineBuilder™ and MachineLogic™, our engineers designed custom automation for solar wafer handling and wet etch hoods. These advancements are helping us to scale faster while maintaining exceptional precision and repeatability. Our automation work with Vention is a key milestone in our mission to make energy abundance possible for any application in space. 📺 Watch the full case study: https://bit.ly/4qJKKYC

💡 Insightful perspective from our CEO on the future of automation. The separation of software and hardware work, enabled by Software-Defined Automation, is exactly how the next generation of factories will operate.

Built on thousands of deployed automation systems, Vention is now extending its core foundation to developers. At Demo Day 2025, this took shape with the announcement of the Vention Developer Toolkit. Over the years, manufacturers and system integrators have used Vention’s platform to deploy over 25,000 machines in factories around the world. Now, the Developer Toolkit gives software developers direct access to the same core software components behind those deployments. With the Developer Toolkit, you can: • Write logic in Python • Persist data and generate APIs • Build operator HMIs with React • Simulate and deploy in one unified environment Read our new blog to see how you can go from an idea to running machine code on the factory floor faster and smarter 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q03T7rk20 #Automation #IndustrialAutomation #Developers #Robotics #SmartManufacturing #Software

Meet the Vention Command Line Interface (CLI) 👾 As part of the Vention Developer Toolkit, the CLI your bridge between local development and the Vention Digital Twin. With a single command, you can push your code from your favorite IDE straight to the Vention cloud and instantly simulate your automation in 3D. No switching tools, no context loss. Just a faster, smoother workflow from code to machine.

Heute ging unser Hintergrundformat "Back Story" in die nächste Runde. Das Thema: "Roboter und KI - Funktioniert das im deutschen Mittelstand?" 🤖   ➡️ Der Zeitpunkt hätte nicht besser sein können: Letzte Woche kündeten NVIDIA und die Deutsche Telekom den Start einer "Industrial AI Cloud" für Deutschland an. Schon im Frühjahr soll das Rechenzentrum in München fertig sein.   ➡️ Heute Nachmittag werden Google und Bundesfinanzminister Lars Klingbeil in Berlin Milliarden-Investitionen in die digitale Infrastruktur in Deutschland bekanntgeben.   Wie kann der deutsche Mittelstand davon profitieren? Was bedeutet die Kombination aus #Robotik und #KI für die deutsche #Produktion? 🏭   Diese und weitere Fragen haben wir in der "Back Story" mit Experten von NVIDIA, Vention und der Universität Siegen sowie ausgewählten Tech-Journalist*innen von Süddeutsche Zeitung, ROBOTIK UND PRODUKTION, Springer Professional und RobotsBlog in kleiner virtueller Runde diskutiert. 💡Das Fazit der Story-Fabrik: Der Mittelstand steht bei der Robotik schon ganz gut da, muss aber bei der Integration von KI noch viel schneller werden. Neben der Infrastruktur braucht es mehr Investitionen der KMU in ihre digitale Zukunft sowie in die KI-Bildung der Belegschaft. Oder anders gesagt: Time is now, abwarten keine Option! 🙏 Vielen Dank an unsere Gäste Timo Kistner, Andrea Alboni, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Burggräf, MBA, Helmut Martin-Jung, Mathias Keiber, Frauke Itzerott M.A., Sebastian Trella für die spannende Diskussion! #Kommunikation #Technologie #Innovation

It's now easier than ever to author your own custom applications on Vention’s platform. The Vention Developer Toolkit is designed to give roboticists, developers, and system integrators the same powerful tools Vention experts use internally to build scalable, reliable automation. From libraries for state machines to a fully connected CLI and digital twin simulation, the Vention Developer Toolkit is your new foundation for custom automation development. This is just the beginning. Find out more about MachineLogic™ and get started today 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q03SNKr70

We just opened up Vention’s platform to developers everywhere 💻 Introducing the Vention Developer Toolkit: a complete set of libraries and tools that lets developers, integrators, and roboticists go from idea to working machine app faster than ever. The Developer Toolkit gives you the same curated tools and building blocks we’ve used to create thousands of automation applications. Now you can use them to author your own custom apps on Vention’s platform. Everything works together seamlessly, so you can focus on building automation that works, from code to machine. 👉 Swipe through to see how it works.

Designing structural equipment shouldn’t take weeks. With Vention’s MachineBuilder™, you can create carts, frames, workstations, and more in just a few minutes. With instant bill-of-materials and pricing, we take guesswork out of the equation. Every component is modular, every profile is pre-cut, and every order is ready to assemble right out of the box (or even shipped pre-assembled). Engineers use it to build: 🧘 Ergonomic workstations 🏗️ High-load robot cells 🛠️ Custom material handling carts ⚙️ Test benches, jigs, and fixtures …and more No guesswork. No cutting. No welding.

☀️ How Solestial is scaling the future of space energy with Vention Solestial, Inc. is building the next generation of solar technology for space: thin, flexible, and self-healing solar cells that can recover from radiation damage, all at one tenth the cost of traditional technology. To meet growing demand, Solestial needed to scale production while maintaining precision and repeatability. Their engineers used Vention’s MachineBuilder™ and MachineLogic™ software, along with a collaborative robot from Universal Robots, to automate key manufacturing steps such as wafer handling and wet etch processes. The result is a faster, more adaptable production that supports Solestial’s mission to create energy abundance for any application in space.
