Claim 0:
1. A method for determining an operating instruction for a hot melt liquid dispensing system having an applicator configured to dispense hot melt liquid and a hot melt liquid heater associated with the applicator, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of historic applicator parameter values of a first operating parameter of the applicator, each historic applicator parameter value of the plurality of historic applicator parameter values being temporally associated with a historic time interval of a historic block of time;
providing a plurality of historic heater parameter values of a second operating parameter of the hot melt liquid heater, each historic heater parameter value of the plurality of historic heater parameter values being temporally associated with a historic time interval of the historic block of time;
receiving a current applicator parameter value of the first operating parameter of the applicator, the current applicator parameter value being temporally associated with a current time interval that corresponds to a first historic time interval of the historic block of time;
receiving a current heater parameter value of the second operating parameter of the hot melt liquid heater, the current heater parameter value being temporally associated with the current time interval;
determining a filtered applicator parameter value of the first operating parameter of the applicator based on the current applicator parameter value and a historic applicator parameter value of the plurality of historic applicator parameter values temporally associated with the first historic time interval of the historic block of time;
determining a filtered heater parameter value of the second operating parameter of the hot melt liquid heater based on the current heater parameter value and a historic heater parameter value of the plurality of historic heater parameter values temporally associated with the first historic time interval of the historic block of time; and
determining, based on the filtered applicator parameter value and the filtered heater parameter value, an instruction for operating the hot melt liquid dispensing system according to an operating parameter value of a third operating parameter of the hot melt liquid dispensing system.
