Vention is set to debut its revolutionary AI-driven bin-picking technology at NVIDIA’s GTC conference this week. The solution replaces costly custom programming with autonomous part recognition and handling, dramatically simplifying adoption of this high-demand industrial automation. A commercial release is planned for later this year.
Live Demo Showcases Unprecedented Autonomy
Conference attendees will witness an ABB GoFa CRB 15000 robot performing fully autonomous bin picking using only a CAD file of the target part. Equipped with Vention’s MachineMotion AI controller and NVIDIA Jetson Orin computing, the system demonstrates industry-leading speed and precision in part detection, selection, and organization—all without traditional programming.
Real-World Application with Industry Partner
The technology is being developed in collaboration with McAlpine & Co. Ltd, a century-old UK plumbing manufacturer seeking automated bin-picking solutions. This partnership ensures the system addresses actual production challenges, moving beyond theoretical applications to deliver tangible manufacturing benefits.
Next-Gen Control Outperforms Traditional PLCs
Vention’s MachineMotion AI controller represents a quantum leap beyond conventional PLC-based automation. Powered by NVIDIA’s Isaac CUDA-accelerated libraries and FoundationPose models, the system delivers the real-time processing required for scalable autonomous operations. The integration of these advanced AI capabilities enables performance unattainable with traditional automation approaches.
Accelerating Smart Factory Adoption
“This breakthrough demonstrates how AI is transforming industrial automation from programmed sequences to intelligent, adaptive processes,” said a Vention spokesperson. The technology’s ability to work directly from CAD files significantly reduces deployment time while increasing flexibility—key advantages for manufacturers navigating rapid product changes and skilled labor shortages.
