Industrial Internet of Things Enters Heat Treat World

Abstract

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has tremendous potential in many areas of industry, and the opportunities in heat treating cannot be overlooked. Large amounts of process and operational data can be gathered in heat treating. The potential for predictive processes, maintenance, and productivity will be fully realized as the heat treat industry combines data from multiple sources and focuses on evaluating, and acting on, both real-time and historical data that is readily available.
