IIoT sensors to Cloud and smart Data to AI

There are many processes in manufacturing that require heating. For heating, we couldn't run away from measuring the temperature. Heating processes that do forging on metal, welding, boiling, pasteurizing, drying, and many other processes require a precise temperature to ensure good product quality.

What are the main sensors for measuring temperature? And what are the IIoT devices that allow us to digitize the reading for monitoring and control, and also provide good visualization with good data analytics at the cloud level? These are the main subjects we discussed in this "Sembang AIoT session."

There are three types of temperature sensors that are widely used in industries:

1. Thermocouples (TCs): based on the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is produced when two different metals are joined and the junction is heated. Used in high-temperature industrial applications. 2. RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors): precise and stable, used where accuracy matters. 3. Thermistors: low cost, high sensitivity, for narrower ranges.
