25 May 2023

Vention, developer of the cloud-based Manufacturing Automation Platform (MAP), announced the release of remote support, allowing manufacturers to receive on-demand, high-priority automation and deployment support from Vention's Customer Success Team.

This new release is accessible through Vention's 3rd generation pendant technology, which features a double built-in camera, voice streaming, HMI screen sharing, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a powerful 13 inch touchscreen display to make remote support simple and enjoyable.

"As industrial automation is being democratized, the emerging class of practitioners are expecting the same level of customer service they receive from their favorite B2C companies," said Etienne Lacroix, CEO of Vention. "We are talking minutes to initiate a customer support intervention with full contextual awareness of the equipment hardware and software."

An unparalleled service experience

As customer expectations are rapidly rising in terms of assistance, the introduction of remote support became a natural evolution of the Vention MAP. Upon initiating a support call with Vention, the customer success team will gain full awareness of the machine, from the hardware and firmware versions to real-time I/O state, to the program running on Vention's MachineMotion controller. This step ensures timely support and active user guidance can be provided efficiently by the Vention Customer Success team who consistently provides service level above 96% for response time within the promised time. With more than 16,000 equipment pieces already deployed, the company consistently achieves a world-class net promoter score above 75.
