Coherix Technology: Helping Automakers Save Millions

Revolutionizing Automotive Manufacturing with Advanced Technology

The automotive industry is constantly evolving, with manufacturers striving to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance vehicle performance. One major area of innovation is the optimization of adhesive application in vehicle assembly. Coherix is at the forefront of this transformation, offering cutting-edge 3D inspection systems and adaptive process control software that help automakers streamline production and significantly cut costs.

The Role of Adhesive Application in Automotive Manufacturing

Traditionally, vehicle assembly has heavily relied on rivets and spot welds to join body structures. While effective, these methods add substantial material and equipment costs to the manufacturing process. Coherix’s advanced adhesive application technology minimizes the need for these traditional fastening methods, resulting in both cost savings and improved structural integrity.

By ensuring precise adhesive placement, Coherix’s technology enhances bond strength, durability, and weight reduction, all of which contribute to a more efficient and cost-effective production process. This shift not only improves manufacturing workflows but also supports the broader industry trend toward lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicle designs.

The Financial Impact: Significant Savings for Automakers

The financial implications of reducing reliance on welds and rivets are substantial. Consider this example:

🔹 A 25% reduction in welds for an annual assembly of 100,000 vehicles can result in:

• • $30 per vehicle in variable design-cost savings
  • $2.5 million in reduced expenses from lower welding equipment requirements

These savings highlight how Coherix’s technology enables automakers to optimize their production lines while maintaining safety standards.

The Future of Smart Manufacturing

As the automotive industry continues to embrace Industry 4.0 technologies, solutions like Coherix’s 3D inspection and process control software will play a critical role in driving efficiency and cost reductions. Manufacturers that integrate these innovations into their production lines will be better positioned to compete in an increasingly demanding market.
