"Why is a wrench on the internet?!"

Because we need to track critical bolt rundowns (generically called fasteners) and tool condition.

That being said it doesn't need to be on the public internet, but it makes it a lot easier than setting up and managing a private network.

I'm not defending putting this tool on the public internet, but its very normal to put all kinds of stuff on the network in a manufacturing plant.
