Industrial water monitoring
For factory teams managing process water, cooling and washdown. See where water goes, compare use with production and act on flow that continues after hours.
What we install
We connect compatible existing water meters and add flow meters at the process lines you need to see separately. Factory water submetering brings the incoming supply and those process readings into one dashboard.
Our wireless sensors send readings through 900 MHz radios, including Digi XBee, to a site gateway. The gateway connects those readings to your centralized dashboard.
We check instrument outputs, access and the wireless path during the site visit. Together, we agree the monitoring points, gateway connection and installation sequence around your operating schedule.
When water keeps running
Compare the flow trace with the expected idle baseline. A sustained difference gives your team a reason to check the process.

What your team gets
You get a live dashboard showing water use at the agreed monitoring points. We record a baseline across operating and idle periods so your team can compare readings after a schedule change or repair.
We configure alerts to phones and email around the conditions your team needs to know about. You choose the recipients, operating schedule and response to each alert.
Reports give your team a record to review alongside operating changes. Our team stays involved after installation to review the readings and adjust the monitoring as your needs change.
Case studies
Carlsberg’s water reduction covers 2023 to 2024. Jeff Inkes, PDI Bulk’s general manager, reported the annualized cost reduction from water and compressed air together.

Carlsberg Canada
Between 2023 and 2024 water use at the Carlsberg Canada brewery fell by more than 100,000 m³, and the Region of Waterloo gave the site its 2024 Water Efficiency Excellence Award for it.

Common questions
Can you connect our existing water meters?
We connect existing water meters when they have a compatible output. Pulse, 4-20 mA and Modbus are signal paths we work with; the available output depends on the meter and its configuration. We check that during the site visit.
Where should we add water submeters?
We choose submetering points around the water uses your team needs to manage. The incoming supply gives the overall view, while selected process lines show where use changes. Cooling, washdown and production schedules help us decide where the detail matters.
How do you flag water running after hours?
We configure an alert for flow that stays above the agreed idle baseline during the hours you select. Your team chooses the recipients and reviews the process when the alert arrives. A continuing flow reading is a reason to investigate its cause.
How is the installation planned?
We plan the installation with your operations team after checking the monitoring points. Meter access, pipework and available signal outputs determine the work required. We agree the sequence around the facility’s operating schedule.
What happens after the meters are connected?
Our team stays involved in reviewing the readings and refining the monitoring. You receive a live dashboard, a recorded baseline, alerts and reports. We use that record with your team to follow operating changes and repairs.
