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