Vention and ABB collaborate to bring cobot automation to small and medium manufacturers

As part of the Vention ecosystem, ABB will gain access to a broader range of DIY automation clients, while Vention will enhance its offerings with ABB's robotics solutions. The mutually beneficial relationship will expand market reach and innovation for both companies.

Enhanced Automation Capabilities with ABB GoFa™ CRB15000 Series

The ABB GoFa™ robots, now available on the Vention marketplace, provide manufacturers with proven cobots with payload ranging from 5 kg, 10 kg, and 12 kg. Renowned for their safety, ease of use, and performance, ABB GoFa™ robots are designed to work alongside humans in various applications, from assembly, and welding, to material handling and inspection.

ABB GoFa™ robots, enhanced by the power of Vention Manufacturing Automation Platform

ABB GoFa™ robots are now compatible with the entire Vention platform, including MachineBuilder (design), MachineLogic (robot programming), MachineAnalytics (operations monitoring & data) and Remote Support (on-demand support). Such compatibility will provide ABB clients with one of the most intuitive user experiences, from design to operations of robot cells.

In addition, the ABB GoFa™ robots will be available later in 2025 for Vention's innovative Rapid Series application line.
