It can be said that production lines around the world are in an Age of Enlightenment. Not the type that occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, but the one that began at the start of the 21st century ushering in the use of a broad range of smart devices. The functions of many of […]
Face it, a lot of us suffer from commitment phobia. Interestingly, it’s not just with personal relationships. It can even strike engineers who are thinking about beginning a relationship with a fluid dispense system. After all, committing to a long-term relationship with a fluid dispense system isn’t something engineers take lightly. And why should they, […]
Some say it cannot be done. But in certain circumstances, it can be. A perfect case in point is the SmartDispenser® from Fishman® Corporation. In the nearly 25 years since its introduction, the SmartDispenser® with patented AirFree® Technology has been consistently judged by manufacturers as the industry’s most intelligent and flexible fluid dispense system. Not […]
SmartReporting™ enables the SmartDispenser® to automatically track critical daily production data. This is significant because it ensures the data is accurately recorded and fully secure. And, with no human involvement, the data is 100% error free, which means management can totally trust it.
The way equipment makers force their wasteful design model on manufacturers is borderline criminal. Fishman® does the right thing by offering SmartRecycling™. It saves manufacturers hundreds of thousands in equipment costs, while assuring they always have the latest technology. To learn more, watch this video.
SmartScanning™ takes the human element, and the errors that come with it, out of executing various commands that are part of assembly processes. Moreover, it eliminates the time and expense to program an expensive PLC, and offers relevant production data to management. It’s a win-win-win. To learn more, watch this video.
Air bubbles have a number of ways of getting into adhesive fluids. They can get in during fluid formulation and during the assembly process when manufacturers inject air into the packaging offered by formulators. Air bubbles can also emerge when working with frozen assembly fluids during the thawing process, as well as when mixing two-component […]
The SmartDispenser® does a lot. It stores data, makes decisions and executes commands. Thanks to its SmartNetworking™ capability, it can also communicate with, and be controlled by a company’s MES system without human intervention, and the errors that come with it. To learn more, watch this video.
The AirFree® LinearDrive™ System with SmartAutomation™ lets manufacturers apply algorithms to the fluid-dispensing axis. Algorithms managing the SmartDispenser® in coordination with those controlling multiple robot axes result in unprecedented control of fluid deposits and fluid beading.

As part of the AirFree® LinearDrive™ System, the SmartValve™ provides algorithmic process control for continuous flow dispensing applications. Together, they ensure the highest production throughput in an automated production cell, while eliminating erratic fluid deposit volumes and post-fluid deposit dripping.
