Vention
Vention is a Montreal-based manufacturing automation company offering an integrated hardware, software, and AI platform for factory automation. Its Manufacturing Automation Platform spans MachineBuilder (browser CAD for designing automated equipment), MachineLogic (no-code, AI Copilot, and Python programming plus digital-twin simulation), MachineMotion AI (an automation controller with a built-in NVIDIA Jetson GPU that drives robots, motors, and sensors), and MachineAnalytics (remote monitoring). Developers program and control MachineMotion hardware through the official Vention Python SDK (machine-logic-sdk, imported as `from MachineMotion import *`), which exposes motion control, digital I/O, robot coordination, and path execution. Vention reports 28,000+ machines running globally and use by 90 of the Fortune 500.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Vention the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Vention scores 30.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Vention
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Vention. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 3
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
