CogniTens Ltd.
Flexible 3D Measurement System for the Automotive Industry — Israeli partner. US partner: Tesco Engineering Inc. (Auburn Hills (Michigan)). Sector: Software, Manufacturing Equipment. At the urging of General Motors Corp. and with funding from the BIRD Foundation, Tesco joined forces with CogniTens Inc. to develop a measurement system specifically tuned to the needs of automotive BIW assemblies. The result is the I3 Measurement Cell, which reduces auto makers’ costs for developing, testing and monitoring expensive product-specific tooling. GM uses the I3 approach extensively to evaluate, fit and finish the interior and exterior of the Pontiac Solstice roadster and the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV.
