Flexxbotics groups up with Vention to launch mixed machine tending providing

Vention and Flexxbotics are partnering to ship a mixed providing for superior robotic machine tending. | Supply: Flexxbotics

Vention, which provides the cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform, or MAP, yesterday introduced a partnership with Flexxbotics, which helps robot-driven manufacturing. The businesses mentioned their mixed providing for robotic workcell digitalization in next-generation machining environments is now obtainable.

The companions claimed that clients can now profit from the mix of Flexxbotics’ machine-tending system with Vention‘s MAP providing. Clients can now use Vention’s cloud-robotic instruments and modular automation {hardware} to design customized workcells, whereas additionally profiting from Flexxbotics’ software-as-a-service/hybrid system.

Flexxbotics additionally mentioned it provides providers for deployment and steady operation to attain “lights out” manufacturing. 

“We’re excited to accomplice with Vention to ship customized designs for robotic workcell digitalization,” mentioned Tyler Bouchard, co-founder and CEO of the firm, in a launch. “We perceive the need for the fleets of robots within the good manufacturing unit to attach, talk, and work interactively with the CNC equipment and inspection tools to offer the closed-loop coordination essential for autonomous course of management.”

“We make robots go far past merely working with the equipment,” he added. “The robots command and management the machines to optimize manufacturing, enabling higher throughput and ‘lights-out’ manufacturing.”

Vention supplies accessibility; Flexxbotics digitalizes workcells

Vention mentioned that by offering a single digital atmosphere, it makes industrial automation extra accessible to manufacturing professionals. The Montreal-based firm claimed that it combines 3D design, code-free industrial programming, and a library of greater than 4,000 modular automation parts.

With the library, customers can navigate by means of the phases of designing, creating, deploying, and working automation all inside one platform, it asserted. Vention mentioned it goals to empower all manufacturing professionals, from automation novices to superior integrators, to effectively design and procure the methods for his or her distinctive necessities throughout the manufacturing unit ground. 

As soon as the design course of is completed, Flexxbotics staffers can deploy and optimize the Vention-designed robotic methods together with its personal system for machine tending. 

“Vention’s mission to democratize industrial automation addresses the manufacturing world’s hardest challenges,” said Etienne Lacroix, co-founder and CEO of Vention. “With manufacturing reshoring, labor scarcity, and wage inflation, firms are on the lookout for breakthrough options to automate their store flooring.”

“Via this partnership, producers now have entry to an entire, turnkey providing, leveraging Vention’s Manufacturing Automation Platform and Flexxbotics superior machine tending resolution, together with their information and experience in deploying complicated workcells,” he mentioned.

Workcell digitalization is enabler for good factories

Flexxbotics mentioned it turns typical robotic machine tending into robot-driven manufacturing and autonomous course of management. The corporate’s know-how permits robots to speak straight with the CNC equipment and the inspection tools in a workcell. This supplies closed-loop high quality management of precision machined elements.

The corporate can use inspection outcomes to direct the robots to make essential changes to the CNC’s program to account for instrument put on and different variables. This ensures that the manufacturing of every half aligns constantly with specs, guaranteeing the very best high quality, capability, and revenue per half whereas sustaining tolerance ranges, it mentioned.

Final month, Flexxbotics introduced that Scott Harris, co-founder of SOLIDWORKS and Onshape, has mentored and invested within the firm. It mentioned the unspecified “strategic funding marks an thrilling improvement for Flexxbotics, propelling the corporate in direction of additional innovation and development within the area of good manufacturing unit robotic manufacturing.”

This week, the Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Division’s Sixth Sense Program named Flexxbotics a winner for its joint providing for robotic compatibility with inspection tools. Flexxbotics additionally not too long ago introduced compatibility with Okuma Machine Instruments’ CNC machines.
