With smart automation and ever-increasing connectivity, heat treaters feel pressured to make quick and substantial changes to the way they do things but integrating Industry 4.0 concepts should not be intimidating. Small, fundamental shifts in thinking and application will improve communication across your enterprise and make it easier to be productive and profitable. You just need to begin the transition somewhere so getting connected and using data for operations and maintenance decisions is a great place to start. Learn from real-world case studies and smart furnace implementations that use PID controllers, power controllers, and sensors to collect, process, and analyze data, thus improving decision-making and information sharing across the organization and various departments. This will help you remain competitive in the heat treatment industry and will create competitive advantages.
