DULUTH, Georgia - October 10, 2006– The new ClearView™ production information system from Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq—NDSN) provides real-time data collection and analysis to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and increase profitability.  The system uses electronic alerts along with web-based access and streaming display boards to deliver immediate production information visibility.

ClearView system’s real-time data collection allows immediate identification and correction of production problems or bottlenecks, reducing scrap and/or rework.  The ability to identify the need for in-process adjustments helps lower production costs and better develop and meet job cost estimates.

Real-time information includes production rates, part rejections and machine up-time.  ClearView system’s data collection allows comparisons across jobs, shifts or other defined durations and includes analysis of setup times, run speeds and downtime among numerous other parameters.

Embedded alert functions can send automated notification via email, pager, phone or PDA regarding production statistics or potential problems.  Web-based access provides ready availability of both real-time and historical information.  Additionally a streaming, LED display board gives plant floor visibility of production data.

The ClearView system easily integrates into existing business systems and can be implemented for a single machine, department or enterprise-wide.
