New Local HERO
June 27th, 2006

Compact and easy to use, Hartness’s Local HERO update provides all the benefits of the full HERO system at half the price. Like the full HERO system, Local HERO digitally monitors your machine, records video when specific fault conditions occur, and plays back short video clips of just the fault and the moments directly before and after it. The advantage is that Local HERO is integrated into your machine’s frame, so it permanently adds problem solving to your production process.                                                                                                 

Reduce Trouble-shooting Time
• Triggered by machine fault conditions, video clips are short, specific and
  recorded automatically.
• Use the video to quickly identify if the issue is related to man, machine, or
  materials.
• Reduce mean-time-to-repair by pinpointing the problem’s root cause the first
  time, every time.

Reduce Maintenance Costs
• Increase machine availability and catch issues before they cause unscheduled downtime.
• Improve your resource allocation by letting Local HERO man your machine.
• Video clips allow operators to pinpoint and resolve problems without calling for maintenance assistance.

Improve Communication
• Use video clips to communicate equipment problems between shifts.
• Email video clips to managers/OEMs/material suppliers to reduce finger-
  pointing.
• Access technical help via Internet connection – It’s fast and free!

Cost-effective and Versatile
• Introductory low price makes Local HERO more affordable than other trouble-
  shooting tools.
• System can be added to virtually any piece of equipment.
