BBConn Controls and Cloud


Nordson’s flagship ProBlue® Flex melter is built on our BBconn control platform. This dynamic platform allows our adhesive dispensing equipment to easily communicate with parent machines and other devices. 

BBconn Controls and Cloud allow users to continuously monitor and improve production processes with detailed reporting on adhesive usage and product count. Plus, the expansive system event log captures all alarms and setting changes.

This intelligent system allows you to remotely manage your hot melt adhesive equipment including easily restoring system setting and recipes, keeping up with scheduled system maintenance for maximum productivity, and tracking product output for operational oversight. 

Supporting Complex Packaging Equipment


Our customers and OEM partners need to harmonize a wide range of products to meet very specific needs. They require intelligent solutions that can integrate flawlessly into their machines and operations. The PMI Starter Kit streamlines the integration of Nordson products to help simplify the design process for end-of-line packaging operations. Once integrated, you can receive immediate, remote access to the Nordson adhesive dispensing product, and minute-to-minute details on the status of the equipment.
