  13. HERO – TintWise POSTM (HERO’s equipment utilities software) • Simple interface • Intuitive • Easy to use • Functions include: • Product look up • Can size specification • User security • Label printing • Color database management • Custom formula generation • Bar code reader compatible Manage the dispenser Compatible with most common brands of spectrophotometer and color matching software. Manage color formulas

  14. HERO’s technical support and service coverage • We have North America covered • 4 Factory technicians plus 35 3rd party technicians in Canada • 6 Factory technicians plus135 3rd Party Technicians in the U.S.A • HERO-N.A., maintains two Engineers to support its customer service needs • All customer support calls are directed to HERO’s 24/7 Call Center in Vancouver, B.C. Canada • Technicians are dispatched to perform field service calls as needed • Spare parts lead time: less than 24 hours • Service call interventions lead time: 24/48 hours in US and Canada depending on locations

  15. FROM THE EXPERTS… Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP) versus Gear Pump (DVX) • Regarding flow rate variations:  “… PCP pumps appear to have distinct advantages. The volumetric flow rate variations per each complete shaft rotation are typically small;whereas for the DVX pumps the discharge rate varies sinusoidally from zero to a max value as the stepper motor traverses one half of a complete rotation.” - Professor Gareth McKinley, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology • “Although the particle sizes are relatively small and would be handled by a typical gear pump, the general designs are more complex than the HERO system, hence more expensive to manufacture and replace.”- Professor Ian A. Frigaard, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of British Columbia • “For low (or no) VOC applications, I would be cautious at using gear pumps. These are typically made to high precision and will lose performance with wear.” - Professor Ian A. Frigaard, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of British Columbia • Conclusions:  “In continuous operation, the flow rate variation per cycle will be higher in the DVX system; whereas PCP systems provide more uniform flow rate output; in my general experience the flow rate output from PCP systems are largely insensitive to changes in fluid rheology; by contrast the possibility of fluid-dependent pump slip (and/or cavitation) in the DVX system (and the variability from one paint formulation to another) is likely to be higher.” -- Professor Gareth McKinley, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology The only “design ready” Zero VOC Automatic Colorant Dispensers in North America

  16. The Technology:

  17. The Technology: HERO’s Progressive Cavity Pump (“PCP”) Technology Core components: Canister and pump assembly Canister and pump assembly Rotor & Stator Pump assembly HERO’s patented Progressive Cavity Pump (“PCP”), technology developed in Europe for low- and zero-VOC colorants, allows HERO’s line to be ready for the entry of low- and zero-VOC colorants into the North American Market. In other words, there will be no added expense for any of HERO’s automatic dispensers in having to upgrade them to accommodate the new colorants.

  18. HERO – Why Hardware Stores prefer HERO

  19. HERO – Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

  20. Calibration Metric Data collected from 9 stores
