Vention

Vention is a Montreal-based manufacturing automation company offering an integrated hardware, software, and AI platform for factory automation.

Developers program and control MachineMotion hardware through the official Vention Python SDK (machine-logic-sdk, imported as `from MachineMotion import *`), which exposes motion control, digital I/O, robot coordination, and path execution. Vention reports 28,000+ machines running globally and use by 90 of the Fortune 500.
