Throughout the partnership between Vention and Universal Robots thus far, Vention has developed a large portfolio of UR+-certified components and applications, including cobot palletizer, MachineLogic, MachineMotion, Cobot range extender, and other varied certified hardware components.

"Over the years, Vention has supported over 1,000 Universal Robot deployments in North America and Europe, giving Vention unique expertise in the design and deployment of collaborative solutions," said Patrick Halde, Chief Growth Officer at Vention.

Bryan Bird, Regional Sales Director of Universal Robots' North America division, looks forward to building a network of CSPs with specific UR product, software, and application expertise. "Our new CSP program recognizes deployment excellence and commitment to increased integration capacity, all to the benefit of our customers," he says.
