1. A system for data collection, processing, and utilization of signals from at least a first element in a smart heating system in an industrial environment, the system comprising:
the smart heating system;
a platform including a computing environment connected to a local data collection system configured to receive at least a first sensor signal or a second sensor signal from at least the smart heating system;
a first sensor in the local data collection system connected to the smart heating system for obtaining the first sensor signal from the smart heating system;
a second sensor in the local data collection system for obtaining the second sensor signal from the smart heating system; and
a switch in the local data collection system having multiple inputs and multiple outputs including a first input connected to the first sensor and a second input connected to the second sensor, wherein the multiple outputs include a first output and a second output configured to be switchable between a condition in which the first output is configured to switch between delivery of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal and a condition in which there is simultaneous delivery of the first sensor signal from the first output and the second sensor signal from the second output, wherein each of the multiple inputs is configured to be individually assigned to any of the multiple outputs, wherein at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor generates an alert based on a sensed condition such that at least one of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, respectively, is associated with the sensed condition, and wherein the generated alert indicates at least one action to be taken to counteract the sensed condition causing the alert.
