Vention, a next-generation digital manufacturing platform for automated equipment, announced today the launch of its Certified System Integrator (CSI) Program, which will further grow its services from online machine design and programming to the field commissioning of equipment at end clients’ facilities. Building on Vention’s “design-to-order” digital workflow, the CSI Program enables end clients to deploy complicated factory automation projects — all while holding the ease-of-use and speed of the Vention platform.
 
Vention clients are now able to link with trusted system integrators for value-added services, such as equipment assembly, machine calibration and commissioning, custom software development, maintenance services, and operator training. Vention's Certified System Integrator (CSI) Network currently provides coverage all over the United States, Canada, and Eastern Europe, and will be widening coverage gradually through-out 2019 and early 2020. ' Since our first release in 2017, the Vention platform has matured substantially,' says Patrick Halde, VP of Business Development at Vention. 'Our clients are running on projects ranging from standalone automated gadgets to completely automating an entire section of a factory floor. Vention's CSI Network will permit us to broaden our scope of services all the way to final field commissioning.'
 
The CSI Program benefits end clients by providing:
 
A curated list of reliable system integrators with in-depth knowledge of Vention's technology
Flexible value-added services, from simple assembly to finish turnkey solutions
On-site assistance for equipment manufactured and requested on the Vention platform
System integrators chosen to join Vention's CSI Program have certain expertise in their given industries, notably in machine design, conventional automation and automation software development. In addition, Certified System Integrators have taken part in a comprehensive on-site training on the full electronic stack of the Vention platform. This includes designing in Vention's 3D MachineBuilder™, commissioning and programming our MachineMotion™ controller, and integrating our plug-and-play automation components.
 
'We are pleased to partner with a com
pany that not only offers a superior product but is highly responsive and delivers in days instead of weeks,' says Doug Spinn, President at Robot27 now part of Vention's network of trusted integrators.
