Targeting these challenges, the company offers custom-engineered solutions, in-house design, integration, and commissioning facilities, and quick turnaround and local support.
Furthermore, its hybrid systems that blend robotics and smart automation improve performance while keeping cost in check. Use of conveyors, pick and place mechanisms, and in-house developed special-purpose machines plays a critical role in balancing cost with performance. Simultaneously, a strong post-sales support ensures operational and maintenance ease, and quick upgradability.
“At Ventek, we focus on understanding the customer’s input and expectations. We carefully analyze the critical parameters of each component, the specific type of welding required, type of material and its metallurgical composition and the tolerance levels, consider production targets and design a complete process flow, calculate cycle time, and create an optimized layout of the automation system”, shares Sagar Vasant Kondhare, Managing Director.
Prioritizing technical alignment, the firm ensures optimal and detailed engineering and execution of its solutions. Beyond this, as a client-centered organization, Ventek emphasizes quality assurance and observes a process-driven quality control system that ensures reliability, precision, and customer satisfaction.
Beginning from the pre-fabrication and design validation phase, the firm ensures the design parameters are exactly as per the client needs, using technical drawings and 3D modeling and simulation practices. Post approval, in-process quality control across the fabrication and assembly stages are implemented encompassing raw material inspections and key checkpoints during various production stages including critical-to-quality assessments.
Electrical and pneumatic quality checks, system-level testing and validation, post-dispatch final checks, and post installation support form a critical part of the firm’s quality assurance initiatives. Ensuring every element is up to the mark, the firm guarantees optimal performance.
Technologically Driven
Bringing technologically superior and seamless solutions to life, Ventek Automation and Robotics leverages a combination of advanced technologies including robotic integration, IoT, PLC, HMI, SCADA integration, data analytics, and traceability. Each of these technologies serve a critical purpose, elevating the solutions’ finesse aligned as per the specific client-offered parameters.
“We specialize in designing, developing, and implementing next-generation automation technology that utilizes machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the latest software and hardware innovations. We are passionate about innovation and are constantly exploring new ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible in industrial automation”, adds Yogesh Tukaram Ekashinge, Director of Engineering.
Robotic Integration is utilized in the form of industrial and collaborative robots that help automate precision or repetitive tasks. Their integration with custom-designed jigs, fixtures, and safety systems facilitates seamless operation, thereby boosting efficiency. Smart sensors embedded in automation systems for data collection on precise parameters leverage IoT gateways to local or cloud-based dashboard, which enables real-time monitoring and diagnostics. Using these systems, manufacturers can seamlessly track overall equipment effectiveness, which simplifies plant performance optimization.
PLC, HMI & SCADA Integrations are critical for process control, operator interaction, and multi-machine coordination and control. Data analytics and traceability allows effective audits, regulatory compliance, and process improvement.
