How does Aquesync improve adhesive process control?

Aquesync transforms adhesive application from manual oversight to data-driven control. By capturing and standardizing adhesive data across operations, it reduces waste, improves cost efficiency, ensures consistent quality, enables real-time process optimization. The result is greater accountability, smarter decisions, and reliable, high-quality output at scale.

Aquesync dashboard

Connected Insights. Confident Control.

The Aquesync dashboard delivers real time visibility into adhesive application through secure, connected technology, transforming live sensor data into clear and actionable insight from anywhere.

Adhesive consumption is continuously monitored and compared against target application rates, making deviations easy to identify and resolve before quality is impacted. Integrated applicator health monitoring uses sensor data to identify early signs of nozzle clogs or performance issues, supporting improved uptime and consistent results.

With Wi Fi and cellular connectivity, the dashboard enables remote access to live dashboards, analytics, alerts, and reports, giving teams the ability to act quickly and make informed decisions whether onsite or offsite.

The result is greater control, consistent quality, and confidence in every application, powered by connected technology and precision that pays off.

Frequently asked questions about Aquesync

Yes, portal access can be provided to multiple authorized users. Contact your Henkel representative to request access for additional users or to update user permissions.

Yes, the portal is compatible with mobile devices and tablets.

The AqueSync device requires an active network connection to transmit data to the portal. The device can connect via wired Ethernet or its onboard cellular modem. These connection preferences are confirmed during installation and startup.

Data is transmitted at regular 5-minute intervals while the control panel maintains a network connection.

Yes, the portal allows users to view and compare data from multiple production lines, depending on the devices assigned to the account. This can help users compare adhesive usage, trends, and performance across different lines or facilities.

The portal provides adhesive usage trends, historical reports, and application rate data that can help identify waste reduction opportunities, monitor product quality, verify process changes, and document improvements over time.

The portal sends alerts for low glue and high glue application for each device as defined by its threshold settings.
