ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Coherix, a global leader in AI-based quality-control systems for adhesive and sealant dispensing, will host a two-day open house program at its new Innovation Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The event is designed to give manufacturing engineers, automation specialists, industry partners and news media an opportunity to explore the next generation of intelligent manufacturing and precision dispensing technology.

Three half-day “open house” sessions are available for guests to attend on Thursday and Friday, April 9–10 at the company’s recently opened North American headquarters and Innovation Center at 1168 Oak Valley Drive. Each session will include luncheon discussions and live technology demonstrations, technical presentations and Q&A sessions focused on solving real-world manufacturing challenges related to automated dispensing processes.

“Manufacturers today face increasing pressure to improve quality while accelerating production and reducing costs,” notes Coherix Chairman and CEO Dwight Carlson. “We’ll show open house attendees how real-time 3D inspection and AI-driven adaptive-process-control technologies will enable manufacturers to move from traditional inspection methods to a fully closed-loop process-control system.

“Companies are moving toward fully autonomous production environments where quality must be verified and controlled in real time. Engineers who attend one of our open-house sessions will have an opportunity to see firsthand how Coherix technology transforms dispensing operations from reactive inspection to proactive process control.”

Coherix 3D inspection systems and adaptive-process-control solutions used to monitor and automatically adjust adhesive and sealant dispensing operations at production speeds will be on display and demonstrated during each open house session. The demonstrations will highlight several advanced technologies designed to improve robotic dispensing accuracy and process reliability.

Attendees also will learn how manufacturers across automotive, battery production, electronics and advanced mobility industries are using Coherix technology to improve product quality, reduce material waste and eliminate costly production defects.

“Dispensing variability is one of the most persistent automated-manufacturing challenges,” says Coherix Vice President and General Manager, Dr. Zhen Huang. “By combining 3D vision, machine learning and adaptive process control, we help manufacturers move from inspection to true defect prevention.”

The open house program also will give many visitors a first look at the new Coherix Innovation Center, part of the company’s recently expanded 25,000-square-foot North American headquarters and product development facility in Ann Arbor.

The facility includes robotic demonstration cells, engineering labs and training areas designed to support collaboration with OEMs, system integrators and manufacturing partners. Innovation Center resources enable Coherix to develop and test next-generation dispensing solutions in real-world automation environments.

“Our Innovation Center was designed to bring customers and engineers together to solve complex manufacturing challenges,” Huang adds. “Our open house program is a great opportunity for industry professionals to see how we’re advancing intelligent manufacturing.”

Registration information for the open house program is available on the company’s website at https://coherix.com/coherix-open-house-2026.

Coherix offers the only manufacturing technology capable of automatically inspecting and controlling the application of adhesives and sealants at assembly-line speeds. Its 3D laser-based quality control systems are equipped with machine learning, artificial intelligence and process control software proven to deliver savings of 25 percent in labor and material.

To meet a need for mechanical engineers, as well as training for engineers currently involved with adhesives and sealants, Coherix also is working closely with Eastern Michigan University, the University of Michigan, various trade organizations and its customers.

In addition, Coherix has developed a dispensing workshop program to help improve the use of adhesives and sealants in product manufacturing. Co-sponsored by the Engineering and Manufacturing Alliance (EMA), more than 100 system integrators, robot suppliers, dispensing equipment suppliers, material suppliers and end users have attended the program over the past year.
