Vention Touts AI-Powered Full Automation Platform at Demo Day

Vention, provider of an artificial-intelligence (AI)-powered full-stack software and hardware automation platform, announced its Zero-Shot Automation vision at the company’s 6th annual Demo Day on October 29, 2025. The vision incorporates Vention’s new innovations that allow companies to automate without the need for traditional hardware integration or complex programming. These include new tools that expand the platform to a global community of developers and roboticists, as well as advanced simulation and AI features designed to help manufacturers move rapidly from design to deployed automation, according to company officials. 

Vention offerings include pre-engineered ready-to-deploy automation cells as well as the Vention platform that enables users to design, program, simulate, and deploy automation hardware and software, backed by on-demand remote support. The company boasts real-world deployments for custom projects and turnkey manufacturing applications such as palletizing, welding and machine tending. 

“With Zero-Shot Automation, we’re building the stack of the future for industrial automation, where hardware and software are fully unified and AI runs seamlessly from the cloud to the edge,” says Etienne Lacroix, Vention founder and CEO. “It’s a major milestone toward simpler, smarter and more powerful automation.”

A highlight of this year’s Demo Day: rollout of AI Operator, which brings advanced AI models directly to the factory floor for unstructured applications such as bin picking. AI Operator is now available on the Vention platform, with factory-floor deployments expanding globally through early 2026. Powered by Vention’s MachineMotion AI controller, AI Operator is built on Nvidia AI infrastructure and libraries, and AI models, reportedly enabling perception, grasping and collision-free motion directly at the edge, thus making automation simpler, faster and more intelligent, note Vention officials.

At Demo Day 2025, Vention also featured new advancements designed to make its platform more intuitive and available for manufacturers, developers and roboticists. These include:

• Developer Toolkit, which introduces a command-line interface, bundled project templates and ready-to-use libraries for state machines, device communication, data storage and operator human-machine interfaces. Developers and roboticists now can build locally or in the cloud using their preferred workflow.
• Simulation Checker, a new simulation environment that delivers real-world accuracy before a single line of code is written. Gravity, collisions and motion now behave exactly as they would on the factory floor.
• RemoteView video recording, which logs a full operational history, including status updates and alerts, thus helping to trace issues such as operator errors or equipment collisions.
• Vention Projects, a streamlined automation planning and collaboration that provides a structured, centralized workflow for defining automation scope and requirements, which reduces manual documentation and communication gaps.

Amit Goel, head of robotics and edge computing at Nvidia, joined Demo Day to discuss the accelerating role of AI in agile manufacturing and how it combines with powerful computing to redefine how automation systems perceive, adapt and operate in real time. The event also featured three manufacturers that shared successes in fully deployed Vention-led automation systems, including faster design cycles.
