Vention's new online certification program aims to develop skilled professionals in industrial automation through its MachineBuilder™ 101 course. This initiative seeks to address the widening talent shortage in robotics and automation by providing structured training on Vention’s cloud-based platform, which enables users to design, simulate, and deploy automated systems virtually.
The MachineBuilder™ 101 course was developed in collaboration with educators and industry experts. It offers foundational knowledge in creating robotic work cells and production line automation. It leverages digital twin technology to validate designs before physical implementation.
Already adopted by over 300 academic institutions globally, the online certification program is being piloted by ROOTS Education, a leader in hands-on robotics training. The program is available at no cost to schools and includes SCORM-compliant materials for seamless integration into existing curricula, along with optional hardware bundles for practical application.
