A remote adhesive monitoring system is used in connection with adhesive applied to workpieces moving along a production line. A reservoir, pump, and applicator apply the adhesive to the workpieces. A monitor control computer has an associated data processing program. A pump cycle sensor senses pump cycles. An applicator sensor senses when the adhesive is applied to the workpieces. A workpiece sensor senses the workpieces moving along the line. The monitor control uses input from the applicator sensing means and the workpiece sensor to determine an ON time per each workpiece at a predetermined speed. The monitor control uses input from the workpiece sensor and the pump cycle sensor to determine the number of workpieces per pump cycle. The monitor control calculates an ON time to TOTAL time ratio per each workpiece. The monitor control will then calculate an amount of adhesive used for the given ON time to TOTAL time ratio.
