With HEAT all relevant data is readily available and clearly presented at the Hot End without additional effort by the operator. The information exchange between the Cold and Hot End is sped up, saving time and reducing ware loss. HEAT also helps to identify trends and can advise on how to improve the process by integrating a Defect Advisory Tool with its Cause and Remedy database directly into the user interface. Additionally, it facilitates a common understanding for problems leading to ware loss between the Cold End and the Hot End motivating prompt and joint action.
