Vention, the company behind the cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform (MAP), has been working with ABB Robotics to develop compatibility between the Vention MAP and ABB GoFa cobot family. This enables users of Vention and ABB technologies to more easily integrate the two companies’ technologies from the design stage of robotic cells up to their operations on the factory floor.
The partnership between Vention and ABB means that the GoFa robots are now compatible with the entire Vention platform, including MachineBuilder (design), MachineLogic (robot programming), MachineAnalytics (operations monitoring and data) and Remote Support (on-demand support).
The ABB GoFa robots, now available on the Vention marketplace, provide manufacturers with proven cobots with payload capacities of 5kg, 10kg and 12kg. These cobots are designed to work alongside humans in various applications, including assembly, welding, material handling and inspection.
"Partnering with Vention represents a significant step forward for both companies. This collaboration combines ABB's advanced cobot portfolio with Vention's expertise in application design and deployment. By merging our hardware and software capabilities, we are making robotic automation more accessible and easier to integrate for businesses of all sizes. Our joint efforts will address key industry trends and help companies improve their operations, making workplaces safer and more efficient," said Andrea Cassoni, head of collaborative robotics at ABB Robotics.
