Not every temperature measurement application needs to be wireless, but for some locations, IIoT wireless connections may be the only practical choice

Time was when your wired control network, either a proprietary DCS or more modern Ethernet-based system, could easily accommodate that extra temperature monitoring point you needed to add in your process to improve the quality of, for example, your baking or drying process. That is, provided you had a cable drop where you needed to add in a sensor, and the control software you were using would easily accommodate it.
Moving from an all-analog means of keeping track of process and storage temperatures can provide numerous benefits—for example, getting more robust measurements with higher stability, reliability and accuracy. In addition, you get better diagnostic information from the sensors themselves, and this information—coupled with temperature and other process variables—can help you get a better grip on your process and on maintenance, too.
The Fluke Process Instruments Thermalert 4.0 infrared spot pyrometer is engineered for automatic, noncontact temperature measurement in harsh industrial environments.
The Sensaphone local temperature display device provides an at-a-glance reading of the current temperature, as well as the minimum and maximum temperatures.
The IVC FV-3543-2 radiometric thermal camera monitors temperatures in industrial processes and equipment to aid in the detection of hot spots and abnormal hot and cold temperature changes.
The DeltaTrak FlashLink single-use mini electronic time-temperature indicator has a pre-configured threshold of 41˚F and is set to trigger an alarm if accumulative temperature abuse.
