Case Study: Industries Rainville achieves 35% higher welding productivity with Vention’s 8-Axis Robotic Welding Cell

How Industries Rainville improved efficiency, weld quality, and employee satisfaction with a welding cobot

Industries Rainville, an engineering and manufacturing company in Quebec, Canada, faced a shortage of skilled welders and difficulty retaining them for repetitive, high-volume welding work. To address the problem, the company turned to Vention and its overhead welding automation technology, including a custom 8th Axis robotic welding cell built with MachineBuilder™ and supported by MachineMotion, SmoothTool, and a UR20 robot.

Vention helped Industries Rainville self-deploy a large collaborative robotic welding cell that handled high-volume, large SKUs without sacrificing quality. The solution improved welding efficiency by 30–35%, delivered more consistent weld quality, and freed operators to focus on higher-value tasks like grinding and touch-ups. Vention’s system also improved employee satisfaction by reallocating skilled workers to more complex welding work.
