The finishing department at many small-to-medium manufacturers is a “black box” with manual operations and limited production insights, explains David Pietrocola, the co-founder and CEO of Cohesive Robotics. Pietrocola, an ex-CIA Tech Officer, spied an opportunity to help these companies and is developing the Smart Finishing™ Robotic Workcell for high-mix sanding, grinding, and polishing operations. 

FuzeHub and ITAC, the NY MEP center for New York City, are supporting Cohesive Robotics in its development of this exciting new product, which includes autonomous 3D vision scanning. Last year, Cohesive Robotics was awarded a $50,000 FuzeHub Manufacturing Grant in partnership with ITAC, and the NYC-based startup has made considerable progress toward its goals. 

Join us as we talk to David and find out why overcoming obstacles to automation isn’t all about capital.
