Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In today’s advanced manufacturing environment, precision, consistency and real-time quality control are critical to staying competitive. Coherix delivers AI-enabled 3D inspection and adaptive process control solutions that ensure adhesive and sealant dispensing processes meet exact specifications — every time.
Whether you are operating high-volume automotive production lines, consumer electronics assembly or complex automated manufacturing systems, our technology provides real-time measurement, closed-loop correction and actionable data insights to reduce defects, eliminate waste and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our 3D machine vision systems, integration capabilities, service programs and manufacturing quality solutions.
1. Who is Coherix?
Coherix is a global provider of AI-enabled 3D inspection and adaptive process control systems for manufacturing. We specialize in real-time inspection and closed-loop control of adhesive and sealant dispensing applications. Our technology ensures consistent bead quality, reduces defects and improves overall production efficiency across automated manufacturing environments.
2. How does Coherix 3D inspection technology work?
Coherix uses high-resolution 3D machine vision sensors to measure the shape, height, width and volume of applied adhesive or sealant beads. The system captures precise 3D data in real-time and compares it to engineered specifications. If deviations are detected, the system can alert operators or automatically adjust dispensing parameters using adaptive process control solutions.
3. What is Adaptive Process Control (APC)?
Adaptive Process Control (APC) is a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts manufacturing parameters based on real-time inspection data. Instead of simply detecting defects after they occur, APC proactively corrects issues in-line during production. This reduces scrap, improves first-pass yield and ensures consistent product quality.
4. What industries does Coherix serve?
Coherix primarily serves:
- Automotive manufacturing
- Electric vehicle (EV) battery production
- Consumer electronics
- Automotive electronics assembly
- Industrial equipment manufacturing
- Medical device manufacturing
- General industry manufacturing
However, our 3D inspection and process control systems are ideal for any automated production process involving automated dispensing technology.
5. How is 3D inspection different from traditional 2D vision systems?
Traditional 2D vision systems only capture surface images and cannot measure bead height or volume accurately. Coherix 3D inspection systems capture full three-dimensional data, enabling precise measurement of:
- Bead height
- Bead width
- Cross-sectional profile
- Volume
This ensures true process validation rather than simple visual contrast confirmation.
6. How does Coherix improve adhesive and sealant dispensing quality?
Our systems verify every adhesive bead in real-time, ensuring proper placement, size and continuity. When combined with adaptive process control, the system automatically adjusts flow rate, robot speed or pressure to maintain optimal bead quality — even when environmental or material conditions change.
7. Can Coherix systems integrate with existing robots and production lines?
Yes. Coherix systems are designed for seamless integration with major industrial robot platforms and manufacturing control systems. We work alongside your automation team or integrator to ensure smooth deployment with minimal disruption to existing production workflows.
8. How does Coherix technology reduce scrap and rework?
By detecting deviations immediately and correcting them in real time, Coherix prevents defective parts from moving downstream.
This reduces:
- Scrap material costs
- Rework labor
- Warranty claims
- Line downtime
9. How does Coherix support EV battery manufacturing?
In EV battery assembly, precision adhesive application is critical for safety, structural integrity and thermal management. Coherix 3D inspection ensures accurate sealant placement on battery trays and modules, improving battery durability while reducing manufacturing variability and cost.
10. What are the main benefits of using AI-enabled inspection systems?
AI-enabled inspection systems provide:
- Real-time decision making
- Automated process correction
- Continuous data collection
- Predictive quality insights
- Elimination of manual inspection
This leads to more consistent quality and improved operational efficiency.
11. Does Coherix provide installation, service and training?
Yes. We provide full lifecycle support, including:
- System installation and commissioning
- On-site and virtual training
- Ongoing service and maintenance programs
- Remote monitoring and diagnostics
Our goal is to ensure long-term system performance and customer success.
12. How long does it take to implement a Coherix system?
Implementation timelines vary depending on application complexity, but most systems are installed and operational within a defined project schedule coordinated with your production timeline. Our team works closely with customers to minimize disruption and accelerate deployment.
13. What data and reporting capabilities are included with Coherix 3D?
Coherix systems provide detailed process data including bead measurements, pass/fail trends and performance analytics. This data can be integrated into plant manufacturing systems to support quality reporting, traceability and continuous improvement initiatives.
14. Can Coherix 3D operate in harsh manufacturing environments?
Yes. Our sensors and systems are designed for industrial environments including automotive plants and high-volume production lines. They are IP67, built to withstand vibration, temperature variation and continuous operation demands.
