Is the ESP32 reliable for 24/7 industrial IoT, or should I use a different chip?

I’m working on an IoT-embedded device with various air quality sensors (CO2, CO, NO, SO2) that connect to the internet using WiFi, GSM, or Ethernet. The device is designed to operate 24/7 and will be installed in factories and warehouses to measure air quality, temperature, humidity, and other parameters. The data is sent to a cloud system for storage, analysis, and alerts.

I’ve created a prototype using the ESP32. My question is: can the ESP32 be used reliably in the production phase for this application, or should I consider a more powerful chip?

If so, what alternatives would you recommend?

  1. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    Aren’t ESP32 the big bulky powerful ones?

  2. UC GEE#0000

    Yeah yeah,it is to an extent @superbike_z . But some hindrance can make it not to be the most powerful in some project.
    And secondly, I’m equally seeking for another ESP alternative (s) that can be used to execute the project .

  3. ZacckOsiemo#0000

    Why do you need the most poweful MCU if I may ask? and why do you need an alternative? What limits have you hi?

  4. UC GEE#0000

    I need most powerful MCU for fast execution of my program and reliability of my project. @superbike_z

    My limitation is that I don’t have deep idea whether ESP 32 is reliable in the production phase in this my project. That’s why I requested for recommendation.

  5. superbike_z#0

    What does that deep idea constitute, I ask because it seems like you are hunting a ghost or something.

  6. superbike_z#0

    Usually one finds a more reliable or more powerful MCU after they hit a limit
