Adhesive-Dispensing Challenges Face Manufacturers Across Multiple Industries

Coherix CEO to Speak at the Manufacturing & Automation eXchange next week in Nashville

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coherix CEO Dwight Carlson explores adhesive-dispensing and inspection challenges faced by automotive, consumer electronics and medical equipment manufacturers during an afternoon presentation at the MAX, a manufacturing-industry trade conference on Tuesday, March 24 in Nashville, Tennessee.

"New technology, training and cooperation across dispensing-industry suppliers annually could save manufacturers in North America billions of dollars," notes Carlson. "Artificial intelligence, 3D computer vision and process-control software will be key enablers."

He points out, however, that a severe shortage of mechanical engineers familiar with dispensing systems, the need for more cooperation among suppliers and a lack of university-level training programs focused on adhesive-dispensing technology are major roadblocks to future improvements.

Carlson will speak at a 1:30 p.m. panel discussion on Next-Generation Adhesive, Coating and Packaging Technologies, one of six half-day workshops on the first day of the program.

The Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX) takes place March 24-26 at the Music City Center in Nashville. It is a manufacturing-industry trade conference organized by several BNP Media publications, including ASSEMBLY Magazine, Quality Magazine, Adhesives & Sealants Industry (ASI) and Industrial Safety & Hygiene News (ISHN).
