Software Solutions for Streamlining Furnace Compliance
The author will discuss a new wave of innovation in furnace compliance highlighting software available today and future developments.
Today, cloud-‐based mobile solutions simplify the furnace compliance process by defining and scheduling all required tests, facilitating collection of necessary data, and generating industry compliant reports. Solutions provide real-‐time visualization of furnace compliance, instilling confidence that furnaces are qualified to run product.
Soon, software solutions will include integration with manufacturers of thermocouples and data-‐loggers. This important step will enable users to simply scan their thermocouples and their data-‐logger to access digital correction factors, thus effectively eliminating the error. The evolution will include predicting thermocouple failure before it happens, providing significant value to the heat treater and its customers.
