The demands in automotive and cable technology are constantly increasing: faster cycle times, tighter tolerances, and more sustainable processes are required. The Drop-on-Demand (DoD) system offers an innovative approach to meeting these challenges – a contactless micro-dispensing technology that operates with the highest precision and sets new standards in application technology.

Within the Innovation Show on October 21, 2025 Ottmar Kern, Sales Manager of IPR – Intelligent Peripherals for Robots GmbH, demonstrated how the DoD system, by reducing material consumption, not only contributes to cost savings but also to significantly higher process quality. Furthermore, it opens up numerous new application possibilities in the field of coating and dispensing technology, underscoring the importance of this technology in the growing market of industrial micro-dispensing.

In the DoD (Design on Demand) process, similar to an inkjet printer, tiny droplets are ejected from the applicator at a very high frequency, creating the printed image. DoD utilizes the piezoelectric method. This applies regardless of whether the application is vertical, horizontal, or overhead. Precise material application plays a central role, offering not only cost savings but also over-spray-free and edge-sharp application of a wide variety of materials. Bonding, painting, dispensing, sealing, and lubrication are thus possible with very high accuracy. The DoD system therefore opens up new possibilities for processes and applications in all industries.
