Heat & Sensor Technologies Expands Product Line with Purchase of PanelMAX Radiant Panel Heater Product Line from Watlow®

Lebanon, OH – May 1, 2016 – Heat & Sensor Technologies continues to increase the utilization of its 40,000 square ft. manufacturing facility with the purchase of the PanelMAX (formerly known as RAYMAX®) radiant panel heater product line from Watlow®. This acquisition will increase Heat & Sensor Technologies to ten product lines. This will be added to the company’s current product lines of Thinband®, Mica Band and Mica Strips, Ceramic Bands, Cartridge, Thermocouples, Channel Strips, Tubular and Custom Specials.

The diverse PanelMAX radiant panel heater product line will allow Heat & Sensor Technologies to serve a wide range of needs and expand its customer base to include applications such as thermoforming, food warming and heat treating. The PanelMAX line solves virtually any application requiring radiant heat from contamination-resistant surfaces to fast responding high temperature panels. These radiant heater panels are capable of a variety of temperature and watt density requirements and adaptable in terms of custom designs. Heat and Sensor Technologies is preparing its multi-building facility to house the new production line of PanelMAX heaters, extending opportunity for the Ohio heater manufacturer’s business.

Mass Customization

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Mass customization is a strategic business offering that’s been gaining increasing presence throughout the manufacturing industry. Mass customization can be defined by the following elements:

  1. Providing flexibility and personalization to customers with reasonable unit pricing – that is a typical benefit of mass production and manufacturing..
  2. Equipping the customer with tools that enable designing – for the customer to create unique built to order products.
  3. Delivering global goods and services that can be modified to meet specific customer requirements.

At Heat and Sensor Technology, our Mass customization potential is broadened by our 3-D Configurator programs. Our online Configurator programs enable customers to design their custom products in single or multiple quantities.

A main objective behind offering our Configurators, was to equip our customers with design possibilities – resulting in virtually limitless custom products – when using our Configurator programs.

Our Configurators serve us by interpreting the exact User needs we can confirm with our customers. With clarity in requests, we partner better with our customers – to jointly find solutions to match their specific requirements.

At Heat and Sensor Technology, we embrace technology. And our efforts are to continue as a premier business example in our industry – with how we model Mass Customization for our customers.

The Owners of Heat and Sensor Technology have had a particular long-time vision – to implement premier technology with our Configurator programs. Our goal began using DriveWorks software to design Configurator programs – for building heaters… online, and especially for use by Distributors and OEM businesses.

We began to realize this dream in May of 2014, with the launch of our Thinband Stock Configurator, and our Thinband Custom Configurator. And before the year closed, we launched our Channel Strip Configurator (November, 2014). Keeping up our momentum, in February of 2015, we launched our Cartridge Configuator. What’s next? The Mica Strip Configurator will be next… and just in time for the NPE2015 show!

We feel our Configurators are a benchmark of achievement – representing excellence in customer service that we’ll continue to develop. Our customers have convenient access when they want to build a heater, 24/7 – right from our Home page. The appealing benefits of our programs are: Customers can manipulate and examine the 3-D image of their design – before placing an order. And once a customer completes their design, and clicks the quote button, they automatically receive an emailed quote and drawing of their built heater.

If you too would like to test a Configurator, please don’t hesitate to call us: EST, 8-5 pm: 513-228-0481, for your personal USER & PASS access codes.
