  • Patent number: 11154898
    Abstract: An application system includes one or more flow control mechanisms controlling a flow path to a dispenser device, one or more position control mechanisms controlling a position of the dispenser device, and a memory device storing data associated with the flow control mechanisms, the position control mechanisms, one or more target areas, and computer-executable instructions. The computer-executable instructions may be executed to identify a target area, actuate the position control mechanisms to move the dispenser device toward the target area, actuate the flow control mechanisms to channel the sealant materials toward the dispenser device, dispense one or more first shots of the sealant materials onto the target area using the dispenser device for forming a dollop at the target area, and dispense one or more second shots of the sealant materials onto the target area using the dispenser device for forming a sealant layer that overlies the dollop.
