Episode 84 - Etienne Lacroix, Founder and CEO, Vention
About this episode
I felt the pain of being an integrator and envisioned a world where an entire workflow could be entirely digitalized.
Picture building an automation system in hours, just like with LEGOs. This is what Vention set out to do when Vention began in 2016. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Etienne Lacroix, Founder and CEO of Vention joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to talk about how Vention aims to break down the barriers of entry when it comes to automation system adoption. He also compares what Apple did for music – with the integration of iTunes and the iPod – to putting automation hardware and software in one simplistic, plug-and-play ecosystem that is more easily accessible. Additional topics include automation growth drivers, AI and machine vision trends and benefits, building an ecosystem through partnerships, and more.
