SDS Industries

SDS Industries offers TAP kiln controllers and app for programming, monitoring, and retrofits in ceramics, glass, and heat-treat ovens. The job it does: solving a specific business problem with software.

The natural audience is teams in its space. They also list E-Commerce, Education, Hardware, Industrial Automation and Internet of Things, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a very small product team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

SDS Industries is based in Frederick, Maryland. Their site is kilncontrol.com.

Things worth asking about: pricing, support, and how it fits with the tools you already use. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
