ABOUT NORDSON

GrayMatter customer Nordson Corporation is the global leader in adhesive dispensing technology.

Based in Westlake, Ohio, Nordson operates in more than 35 countries and was founded in the 1950s as a division of the U.S. Automatic Corporation.

Today, machines made by Nordson’s Adhesive Systems Business Unit are used to apply adhesives during the production and packaging of consumer products including cereal boxes, cell phones, auto parts, appliances and many others.

“You don’t think about what all is touched by adhesives, but in the modern world, it’s much more efficient, and lots of products are enabled by it,”

– Larry Saidman, Nordson’s Chief Technologist, R&D, during an interview on GrayMatter’s emPOWERUP Podcast.

THE SOLUTION

GrayMatter and Nordson are collaborating on an Advanced Industrial Analytics solution that allows Nordson and its customers to analyze data generated by adhesive-dispensing equipment.

Nordson recently upgraded an adhesive-dispensing machine commonly used by companies in the packaging industry. The upgrade enables better data processing and connectivity capabilities.



“GrayMatter has been excellent as far as taking that data at the cloud level and being able to do analytics on it and then give customers back better information on how their asset is performing,”

- Larry Saidman, Chief Technologist R&D, Nordson
