Editor's Notes
- #3: Although cost is driver we wanted differentiation with benefits to the customer
- #4: VOC highlighted two areas where customers had needs.
- #5: To a better display we took an new approach to the layout of the controller.
- #8: Viewing angle shows the difference with some, although display is slightly better with some. The display may not be as big a difference as this picture but shows the difference that can exist. Some are using LCD to get some text character. Removes quality for end user.
- #12: Highlight the depth …… and programming port NEW from eCAL
- #13: Alarm, control enable, auto manual, timer
- #17: Remember thos accounts we sold eCAL or were discussing MAXVU likely to fit most requirements Enclosures – small compact ovens and kilns Also with plastics features, an ideal retrofit product for plastics extrusion machine – no heater current input but now less common especially retrofit. Any basic application where heat is used for direct heat for bonding, sealing or treating. But we have one focus and would like to work with our partners – packaging. An area where West and CAL have limited success and ideal for products of this type. Drive sales and opportunities
- #22: Vey active promotions with Distributors Demo unit being created - hand carry controller - perspex display Launch pack and promotional material Plan to work with distributors
