Robin Mennicken from Nordson Deutschland explains why process control has become the new quality standard in adhesive packaging. He discusses how visual inspection reaches its limits with deviations below 25% being invisible to the human eye, and why the misconception that ‚more adhesive means safer sealing‘ actually causes contamination and sustainability issues. Mennicken demonstrates real-time adhesive tracking technology and closed-loop control systems that enable continuous surveillance of applied volumes. The interview covers how digitalization helps operators manage multiple systems through cloud platforms, predictive maintenance capabilities, and the transition from analog to digital processes. Key topics include sustainability through process optimization, reducing material waste, and improving uptime in critical periods like e-commerce peak seasons. #interpack #packaging #adhesives #processcontrol #nordson #sustainability #digitalization #quality
