Coherix, a developer of inline 3D process control technology, is expanding its production and product development facilities. The company's decision addresses growing demand for AI-based quality control systems to control the application of adhesives in the assembly of automotive and electronics products. The move to a new 25,000 sq ft manufacturing, product development, and headquarters facility in Ann Arbor will be completed by the end of the year, Coherix said. The nearly $1 million expansion adds 5000 sq ft of production space, and 5000 sq ft for engineering, software development, training, and customer service. Coherix’s expanded headquarters in Ann Arbor, Mich. will help the company address demand for its 3D process control technology for the application of adhesives in manufacturing processes. Additional space will benefit production, engineering, and software development efforts. Courtesy of Coherix. The facility’s new Innovation Center will include 10 robot stations outfitted with a range of dispensing equipment, technical training facilities and a product demonstration-and-service area for customers. A developer of 3D computer vision enabled adaptive process control technology, Coherix provides high performance adhesive-dispensing process control technology to global OEMs, tier-one suppliers, line builders, dispensing equipment companies, and system integrators in a variety of industries. The company’s technology is capable of automatically inspecting and controlling the application of adhesives and sealants at assembly line speeds. Its 3D laser-based quality control system are equipped with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and process control software which the company says can deliver savings of 25% in labor and materials.
