Cohesive Robotics develops AI-enabled robotic workcell solutions designed for high-mix manufacturing operations, particularly in finishing processes such as sanding, grinding, polishing, and deburring. Their Smart Finishing™ Robotic Workcell integrates advanced sensors, cameras, and AI with industrial and collaborative robot arms to automate complex surface finishing tasks without requiring robot programming. This technology supports low-volume production down to lot size 1, enabling manufacturers to address labor shortages, supply chain challenges, and customization demands while maintaining flexibility and productivity. The company offers flexible financing options allowing customers to own equipment from day one, enhancing ROI and operational efficiency. Cohesive Robotics targets industries including aerospace, construction, defense, manufacturing, metal fabrication, and pharmaceuticals, positioning itself as a leader in automating traditionally manual, tedious, and hazardous finishing operations for small and medium-sized enterprises.
