——Introducing Aerospace-Grade Vision Technology to Create a New “Apply While Control” Intelligent Gluing Model
WuxiJune 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the global automotive industry moves toward greater leanness, the precision and efficiency of industrial gluing processes directly impact the manufacturing quality of entire vehicles. In pursuit of the ultimate process standards, domestic automatic gluing expert Cunrong has actively responded to the national call to strengthen university-enterprise cooperation and deepen industry-academia-research integration, officially reaching a deep strategic partnership with the visual research team of Xi’an Jiaotong University. The collaboration seamlessly integrates vision perception technology from the aerospace field with industry-leading gluing control systems, aiming to establish a new process standard of “apply while control” and lead automotive welding workshops into an era of “active intelligent control.”
Introducing Xi’an Jiaotong University’s Aerospace-Grade “Smart Eye“
With the continuous upgrade of automotive manufacturing processes, modern production lines demand unprecedented levels of precision, speed, and intelligence in gluing operations. True intelligent gluing is evolving from traditional automated execution to “apply while control,” which requires high perception and decision-making capabilities. Under this vision, in April 2026, the core teams of both parties conducted in-depth on-site exchanges and formally signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement, outlining the collaborative research and development path ahead. As the gluing nozzle rapidly outlines adhesive lines on the car body, the system must simultaneously perform high-frequency detection, capturing subtle data changes in real time and instantly feeding the information back to the gluing control unit to identify issues during the process.
The entire process is a perfect closed loop: perception—judgment—control—feedback. By introducing the vision system, Cunrong seamlessly integrates the “eyes” (vision perception) and “hands” (gluing control) into a single intelligent brain, providing customers with a more stable, accurate, and faster intelligent gluing solution.
Embarking on a New Journey of “Apply While Control“ Intelligent Gluing
In this new intelligent system, vision serves as the “navigator” of the gluing process. The system can perform high-frequency detection while gluing, feeding data back to the control unit in milliseconds. In the future, Cunrong’s gluing equipment will achieve self-correction and real-time response. This breakthrough in “apply while control” brings more stable rhythms and higher precision to production lines.
Both parties have made it clear that the goal of the collaboration is to achieve seamless synergy between aerospace-grade vision perception and gluing control—fully integrating underlying data, control logic, and response mechanisms. Currently, this system incorporating vision technology has been practically applied in leading automotive manufacturers, earning high recognition from the industry for its exceptional stability and accuracy.
Xi’an Jiaotong University’s vision team boasts a cumulative 20 years of aerospace technology expertise, having deeply participated in multiple national space vision missions, with profound capabilities in dynamic 3D vision technology. They hold fully independent intellectual property rights in three core areas: detection and recognition, vision guidance, and multi-dimensional measurement.
Promoting the transformation of university research achievements into industrial applications is a key step toward achieving high-level technological self-reliance. Through its collaboration with Xi’an Jiaotong University’s team, Cunrong channels cutting-edge production line demands as research topics back into the university’s R&D system. In turn, the university team leverages its deep academic foundation and aerospace-grade algorithms to continuously empower Cunrong with technological advancements. This “university technology + enterprise scenario” mutual reinforcement not only accelerates the commercialization of cutting-edge vision technology but also provides a highly valuable model of university-enterprise cooperation for China’s intelligent equipment manufacturing industry.
In the second half of the intelligent manufacturing era, open collaboration is the core driving force for industry development. Cunrong, with an open mindset, embraces the top-tier research capabilities of Xi’an Jiaotong University, not only building an unbreachable technological moat for its gluing equipment but also injecting strong momentum into the intelligent upgrade of the entire industry.
