The water problem inside food operations

🚨

The problem

Checked by walk-round

Production is instrumented to the gram, yet water still relies on manual rounds. A leak over a packing line, a quality drift in incoming supply, or a missed temperature check surfaces as downtime, waste, or a failed audit.

📡

AQUAIOT approach

Instrument the water layer

Leak, flow, level, temperature, and chemistry sensors retrofitted to live plant with no pipe cutting and no production stops, on encrypted telemetry that does not lean on your site network.

→

✅

The outcome

Seen, alerted, evidenced

Leaks caught in minutes with auto shut-off where it matters, water use measured line by line, hygiene and Legionella records that build themselves, and one dashboard your production and FM teams both trust.

Food & beverage monitoring stack

Four core solutions for
food & beverage

In a plant where hygiene is audited and downtime is measured in product, water monitoring only works when it is retrofit-first and production-safe, independent of the systems it protects, and built around outcomes, leaks stopped early, water use measured, and compliance evidenced.

Production & Cold Chain

Leak Detection & Auto Shut-Off

Moisture and leak sensing across production areas, cold rooms, ceiling voids, plant rooms, and welfare blocks. Real-time alerts, escalation routing, and auto-isolation valves in high-risk zones.

Quality & Compliance

Process Water Quality

Continuous chlorine, pH, conductivity, and turbidity on incoming supply, process water, and discharge points, with threshold alarms and audit-ready records instead of spot samples.

Safety, Tanks & Drains

Legionella, Tanks & Drainage

Automated temperature profiling for calorifiers, tanks, and sentinel outlets, radar level on storage tanks, and level sensing on interceptors and drainage before a blockage stops production.

Production & Cold Chain Protection

Find the leak before it finds your product

Water runs above production lines, behind cold rooms, and through ceiling voids full of services. AQUAIOT places leak and moisture sensing at the points that get checked by eye today, and can close an auto-isolation valve in high-risk zones before water reaches product, stock, or equipment.

✓
Moisture sensing at chillers, defrost lines, pipe joints, valve sets, and ceiling voids
✓
Flow anomaly detection and freeze protection on vulnerable pipework
✓
SMS, email, and app alerts with role-based routing and escalation rules
✓
Auto-isolation valves in high-risk zones to stop damage before it spreads

AQUAIOT clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter measuring process and wash-down water on live food factory pipework

Process Water Flow

Measured, Not Assumed

Meter water line by line without stopping production

Nobody halts a production run to fit a flow meter. AQUAIOT’s clamp-on ultrasonic meters strap to the outside of live supply, process, and wash-down mains in hours, showing you where water actually goes, what each line consumes, and what leaks away overnight.

Pipe range DN8 – DN100 & larger

Quality & Compliance Evidence

Watch your water chemistry the way you watch your product

A spot sample tells you about one moment at one tap. AQUAIOT monitors chlorine, pH, conductivity, and turbidity continuously across incoming supply, process water, and discharge points, alarms the moment a reading drifts, and keeps the audit-ready record your quality team needs.

✓
Free and total chlorine, pH, conductivity, ORP, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and colour sensing
✓
Full-spectrum UV-Vis sensing where richer water quality signatures are needed
✓
Threshold alarms that fire before a quality drift becomes a production problem
✓
Exportable records and API integration for quality, compliance, and effluent reporting

Safety, Tanks & Drainage

Legionella, tank level, and drainage on one screen

Calorifiers, storage tanks, rarely used outlets, and yard drainage all carry risk that gets managed by rounds and paper today. AQUAIOT profiles temperatures against HSE guidance, tracks tank levels by radar, and watches interceptors and drains before a surcharge or blockage stops production.

✓
Continuous temperature profiling at tanks, calorifiers, loops, and sentinel outlets
✓
Alerts when temperatures drift into risk zones or flushing is missed, with audit-ready trails
✓
Non-contact radar level on ingredient, storage, and attenuation tanks with low-level alerts

● Delivered, not promised

Water monitoring rolled out for Deliveroo, across multiple countries

Our group’s engineering team delivered multi-country water monitoring for Deliveroo, deployed with the urban.io sensing and cloud platform partnership. Food operations, real estates, international scale.

The same retrofit-first approach behind that rollout, sensors fitted to live sites, encrypted telemetry, and one cloud dashboard, is what AQUAIOT brings to UK food and beverage estates, from a single production site to a national kitchen network.

Deliveroo · multi-country

Water monitoring rolled out across Deliveroo facilities in multiple countries by our group’s engineering team.

🔗

Delivered with urban.io

Turnkey sensing and cloud platform partnership, proven hardware, mapping, and data APIs behind the deployment.

🇬🇧

UK engineering, estate scale

Survey, installation, telemetry, dashboards, and support from one UK team, scaled from single sites to international estates.

End-to-end delivery

Built for sites that cannot stop

Food production does not pause for installations, and neither does our deployment model. AQUAIOT delivers survey, retrofit installation, telemetry, platform, and ongoing engineering support, planned around your production windows and hygiene procedures.

Site survey

Engineering review of supply mains, process water, tanks, leak-risk zones, drainage, and connectivity, before any hardware is specified.

Retrofit installation

Hardware fitted to live systems with no pipe cutting and no production stops, planned around shift patterns and hygiene windows.

Platform & alerts

One cloud platform for every sensor, alarm, and export. Encrypted cellular and LoRaWAN telemetry, independent of site networks.

Integration & support

RS485/Modbus on site and APIs into SCADA, AIMS, and CAFM. Ongoing engineering and technical support from a UK-based team.

Every ingredient on site is weighed, logged, and traced. Water monitoring is about giving the one that touches everything the same treatment before it costs you product, downtime, or an audit finding.

AQUAIOT brings leak detection with auto shut-off, process water flow, continuous quality, Legionella compliance, and tank and drainage visibility into one retrofit stack that installs without stopping production, runs on independent telemetry, and scales from one plant to an international estate.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we get asked most

Can water monitoring be installed at a food or beverage site without stopping production?

Yes. AQUAIOT deployments are retrofit-first. Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters attach to the outside of live supply and process water mains with no pipe cutting and no draining, and leak, level, temperature and water quality sensors install on operational plant with minimal disruption. Telemetry runs over encrypted cellular and LoRaWAN, so monitoring does not depend on site networks.

What water quality parameters can AQUAIOT monitor at a food and beverage site?

AQUAIOT monitors free and total chlorine, pH, conductivity, turbidity and suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, ORP, colour, and full-spectrum UV-Vis signatures. Readings stream to a cloud dashboard with threshold alarms, trendlines, and exportable audit-ready records for process water, incoming supply, and discharge points.

Has AQUAIOT's team delivered water monitoring for food businesses at scale?

Yes. Our group's engineering team delivered multi-country water monitoring for Deliveroo, rolled out with the urban.io sensing and cloud platform partnership. The same retrofit-first approach, telemetry, and dashboards scale from a single production site to an international estate of kitchens and facilities.
