The Next Era of Automation
What is AI-Defined Automation?
Industrial automation has moved from fixed hardware to software-defined cells, to systems that build themselves, perceive, and act on their own. AI-Defined Automation will combine two layers of artificial intelligence: Agentic AI makes automation projects accessible and faster to deploy, while Physical AI makes the machines increasingly autonomous, adaptable, and efficient.
The Newest Era of Industrial Automation
AI-Defined Automation puts artificial intelligence in the hands of automation experts from the digital design to the cell operation.
The goal is straightforward: faster and easier deployment, redistributed engineering resources, a bridge over the manufacturing labor gap, and standardized processes that scale. It marks the most innovative era of industrial automation to date, while improving precision and reliability.

Two Layers of Artificial Intelligence
Automation the AI-Defined Way
Seamless Deployment
Users describe their use case to the AI agent in plain language, and the agent lays out and codes a robotic cell that fits it.
Physical AI systems learn from motions, adapt to new conditions, and retry failed actions on their own, so engineers aren’t pulled in to troubleshoot every minor mistake on the line.
AI-Defined systems embed intelligence into every layer of the stack, so each stage of automation is done seamlessly.
Faster Time to Value
AI is present at every stage of the automation project lifecycle, from first design to daily operation, so nothing is lost in the handoff between teams.
Once the AI agent is prompted, actions like cell layout, production-ready code generation, and analytics surfacing are delivered in minutes instead of weeks.
Because GRIIP can go live with new parts in as little as a few minutes, total payback periods shrink, and automation scales without the added engineering spend.
Precision Like Never Before
AI-Defined systems are grounded in real component catalogs, digital twins, and live machine data. Every cell can be validated, actioned, and audited without the guesswork.
AI outputs are consistent and easy to audit. Every generated program follows the same logic, reducing manual work and human error.
GRIIP-powered robots estimate object position and orientation with millimeter accuracy, adapting continuously to live movement and object shifting on the line.
Accessible Automation for Any Team
Designing and programming the agentic way means plain-language queries instead of code. Any team member, not just an engineer, can design, program, and operate without deferring to the experts.
AI interprets plain-language prompts across machine data, troubleshooting, and analytics, so teams get answers without needing to consult an automation expert.
GRIIP powers robots in Physical AI cells, so teams skip the weeks of programming and onboarding that conventional robotic deployments require.

AI at Every Stage of the Automation Workflow
MachineAgent™ x MachineBuilder™
Design with AI
Describe a cell in plain language, and watch the design take shape automatically through Agentic AI, pulling from Vention’s catalog of +3,000 components.
Predesigned, proven cell templates apply directly to a new open design, so building a fully custom automation layout is made easy.
Understand and build directly on validated cell designs instead of starting from a blank canvas, cutting total design time down by hours compared to manual CAD work.
