Vention & ATS Automation Partner to Offer Browser-Based Design of Smart Conveyance Systems

February 6, 2020

Vention, a next-generation digital engineering platform for machine design, is proud to announce its partnership with ATS Automation to provide fast design and concept validation for SuperTrak CONVEYANCE systems. This partnership combines Vention’s cloud-based machine design platform with ATS’s automation expertise to accelerate the design of automation cells for applications that require high throughput, high precision, and minimal footprint.

ATS’s SuperTrak GEN3 modular conveyance components are now available on Vention’s cloud-based platform. Users can log onto Vention.io to easily design their cell with the SuperTrak CONVEYANCE foundation by choosing the number of modular track sections, highspeed shuttles, and other components using the 3D MachineBuilder, its free on-line CAD platform.

To help users get started, Vention and ATS have created several public designs showcasing the integration between each of their modular components. Users can browse through a selection of sizes for the conveyance platforms, as well as “base modules” that can be attached around the conveyance track. Assemblies can be customized as needed to create semi or fully-automated production lines quickly and easily.

With a simple click, Vention users are now able to request a quote from ATS Automation. Beyond the online integration, ATS Automation and Vention work hand-in-hand to provide world-class support to users interested in high-speed, high-precision, automated solutions.

“We are proud to work closely with a world leader in industrial automation that is also based out of Canada. It was natural to work together as our businesses are complementary in their offering and comparable in their dedication to customer service,” said Étienne Lacroix, founder and CEO of Vention. “We’re very excited about the current and future opportunities that will arise from this partnership.”

“We’re excited about what this partnership will offer our customers,” said Simon Drexler, Director of LMT products at ATS Automation. “SuperTrak CONVEYANCE platforms allow manufacturers to build more flexible, compact, and scalable manufacturing systems. Now, by partnering with Vention, they can easily concept and design their cells using SuperTrak GEN3 as their foundation.”
