CoatingSolution4U Co., Ltd., a deep-tech startup founded by a Seoul National University professor, announced that its flagship product SlurryXpert has been named a finalist for the 2026 Edison Awards in the Materials Science category. SlurryXpert represents the world's first real-time fluid diagnostic technology for manufacturing process control, using patented AI technology to monitor fluid microstructure and detect quality issues before they become costly defects.

Why it matters

This recognition from the Edison Awards validates CoatingSolution4U's mission to revolutionize manufacturing quality control. SlurryXpert's ability to prevent defects before production can dramatically reduce waste and improve efficiency, delivering significant return on investment for manufacturers.

The details

SlurryXpert solves a critical industry challenge in battery electrode manufacturing, where conventional quality control methods can only detect defects after production is complete, resulting in significant material waste and production losses. By installing proprietary sensors in transport pipes and using an AI algorithm to analyze pressure and impedance data, SlurryXpert can detect quality issues within a few seconds with over 95% diagnostic accuracy.

  • CoatingSolution4U announced the Edison Awards finalist recognition on January 28, 2026.
  • The 2026 Edison Awards ceremony will take place in April 2026, where winners will be announced.
