About Adhesive Tracking System (ATS)

E 2020 Nordson Corporation
Adhesive Tracking System (ATS) monitors adhesive consumption and
add‐on weights, including the total amount of adhesive dispensed and the
average adhesive dispensed per product, referred to as add-on weight, or
just add-on.
ATS uses a flow meter attached to the hose manifold that measures or
meters adhesive output. A product detector determines product counts and
add-on weights. The measurement and reporting data collected by ATS can
be used to improve process control.
