Vention, the company behind the cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform (MAP), announces its collaboration with ABB Robotics and confirms the compatibility between the Vention platform and the ABB GoFa™ Cobot family. Customers of Vention and ABB benefit from seamless integration of both companies’ technologies, from the design phase of robotic cells to operations in the factory hall.
As part of the Vention ecosystem, ABB gains access to a broader spectrum of do-it-yourself automation customers, while Vention will expand its offerings with ABB’s robot solutions. A fruitful partnership will enhance market reach and innovation for both companies, ultimately driving mutual growth and success.
ABB’s GoFa™ robots, now available on the Vention marketplace, offer manufacturers trusted cobots with payload capacities of 5 kg, 10 kg, and 12 kg. ABB GoFa™ robots are renowned for their safety, user-friendliness, and performance, designed to work alongside humans in various applications, from assembly and welding to material handling and inspection.
ABB GoFa robot systems are now fully compatible with the entire Vention platform, including MachineBuilder (design), MachineLogic (robot programming), MachineAnalytics (operational monitoring and data), and Distant Assist (on-demand support). This compatibility offers ABB customers a seamless user experience, encompassing design to operation of robotic cells. In addition to this, the ABB GoFa™ robots will be available for Vention’s modern Speedy Sequence application line by the end of 2025.
