Fondée en 2006 à Boisbriand, Québec (Canada), la mission de l'entreprise était à l'origine de rendre la vie des gens ayant des limitations au haut du corps plus facile, à l'aide de technologies d'assistance robotique. Plus de 15 ans plus tard, l'entreprise a fait évoluer sa gamme de produits afin de répondre aux besoins de nouveaux marchés — aidant chercheurs.euses, professionnels.elles de la santé, gouvernements, commerces et institutions académiques. Aujourd'hui, avec des technologies étant le fruit de plus d'une décennie d'ingéniosité inspirée, la dédication de Kinova se traduit par un désir de fournir des solutions aux professionnels.elles d'industries telles que l'agro-alimentaire, la santé, la sécurité, le nucléaire, les matières dangereuses et la fabrication avancée. Grâce à des partenariats stratégiques, Kinova permet aux innovateurs.trices d'atteindre leurs objectifs d'innovation.

Vertex Software is the governance-preserving 3D access layer for enterprise manufacturing. The digital thread breaks at file export. When product data is distributed in STEP, JT, or 3D PDF formats, configuration control is lost and IP risk increases. This creates a secure model accessibility problem: organizations need broad access to product geometry, but cannot safely distribute the underlying files. Vertex extends PLM governance by streaming always-current, context-aware pixels from authoritative systems of record (CAD, PLM, BIM). Users interact with the current product geometry—without receiving or managing files. The result: • Governed access to product geometry across internal teams and external partners • No derivative-file distribution of product geometry • Preserved configuration control and IP containment • Enterprise-scale access to product definition across suppliers, factories, and service Vertex operates as infrastructure, not a collaboration application. We extend PLM governance while maintaining authoritative systems of record. Proven at scale: • 350,000 users in service ecosystems • 500,000+ daily 3D sessions • 60,000+ PLM changes processed per day • 22,000 suppliers collaborating in production environments Workflow tools collaborate around exported artifacts. Vertex provides governed access to the system of record.
