HERO
The HERO (Hartness Event Recording Online) system is a digital video capture system that quickly and accurately troubleshoots machine errors. Designed to constantly monitor your machines, HERO records video when specific fault conditions occur and creates short video clips of just the fault and the moments directly before and after it. Because HERO is always buffering video, you never miss the cause of a production problem or an opportunity to capture its occurrence. Once an error is captured, HERO lets you go back and watch the video over and over, diagnosing the subtle details missed due to high-speeds, hard-to-see angles, or the absence of operators. It’s like instant replay for your line!

The HERO system provides a unique approach to finding the cause of errors because it only records the problems. Signaled by your machines’ controller, HERO automatically triggers when specific fault conditions occur. Users can capture a concise record of errors or up to eight hours of continuous video. Just set it up and walk away. HERO does the work

HERO is a modular system and can accommodate anywhere from one to sixteen cameras simultaneously. Its touch screen makes it convenient for operators to watch live and recorded video from the plant floor and engage in on-the-spot troubleshooting. Likewise, video can be remotely accessed, making it possible for a supervisor to monitor multiple lines from a central location or via password protected internet connection. Flexible. Comprehensive. User-friendly. HERO can help you capture problems the first time, every time.
