Leak detection for manufacturing and industrial
Stop a leak before it stops the production line.
Moisture, flow and freeze monitoring with automatic shut-off across process water, cooling lines, plant rooms and stock areas. AQUAIOT catches a leak near a production line before it forces a shutdown, damages equipment or soaks finished stock.
Live monitoring. Automatic shut-off.

A leak can halt the production line.Water near a running line forces a stop, and unplanned downtime costs far more than the repair, in lost output, idle staff and missed delivery commitments.
Process water weeps at the worst points.Process and cooling water run hard at high pressure and weep at joints near equipment, and a shift focused on output rarely catches a slow loss in time.
Equipment damage is slow and expensive.Persistent moisture corrodes machinery and electronics over time, and a flooded control panel or motor can mean weeks of lead time to replace.
Stored stock is exposed to water.Raw materials and finished goods held on site can be soaked by a leak from above or alongside, writing off product that was ready to ship.
The AQUAIOT SolutionRequest a Consultation
Leak detection that protects uptime and equipment
On a manufacturing site, water is part of the process, and a leak around it is measured in downtime, not redecoration. AQUAIOT senses moisture along process water and cooling runs and at plant, watches flow for the slow loss a shift cannot see, and isolates the supply automatically before water reaches a production line, the equipment that runs it or the stock waiting to ship.
Sense along process and cooling water. Moisture rope along process water and cooling runs, point sensors at plant, pumps and stock areas, and inline flow analytics on the lines that feed production.
Isolate before the line goes down. Auto-isolation valves cut the supply the moment a threshold is crossed, so a leak does not reach a running line or the equipment that cannot be replaced quickly.
Give operations and risk teams a clear record. Every reading and isolation event is timestamped and exportable, supporting business-continuity planning, downtime analysis and insurer reviews.

How It Works
Three steps from first drop to evidence
Step 01
Detect
AQUAIOT moisture, flow and freeze sensors are deployed at the points water escapes. Every reading is timestamped and logged to the cloud over secure cellular or LoRaWAN telemetry.
Step 02
Alert and isolate
When moisture is sensed or flow goes abnormal, AQUAIOT raises an immediate alert by SMS, email and app, and closes the auto-isolation valve so water is stopped before damage spreads.
Step 03
Record
Every reading, alert and isolation event is captured in exportable, timestamped logs that integrate with CAFM and BMS, so evidence for insurers is ready on demand.
Capabilities
Everything a leak detection programme needs
Purpose-built for estates, facilities and risk teams protecting buildings against escape of water across single or multiple sites.
Moisture sensing at the risk points
Point, rope and tray sensors detect water at first contact under appliances, in plant rooms, risers and tank rooms, before it spreads.
Inline flow analytics
Continuous flow monitoring on the incoming main learns normal use and flags the slow weep or continuous draw a manual check never sees.
Freeze protection
Temperature monitoring on exposed and loft pipework warns before a freeze leads to a burst, so action can be taken in time.
Automatic shut-off
Auto-isolation valves close the supply the moment a moisture or abnormal-flow threshold is crossed, with manual remote override for the duty holder.
Multi-channel alerts with escalation
SMS, email and app alerts with role-based routing, so the right person responds day or night, on a single site or across a portfolio.
Open integration, no lock-in
Connects to BMS, CAFM and SCADA via RS485/Modbus or REST API, with audit-ready exportable records for insurers and owners.

Questions & Answers
Common questions
Where are leak sensors placed on a manufacturing site?
Moisture rope runs along process water and cooling lines, with point sensors at plant, pumps, control panels and stock areas. Inline and clamp-on ultrasonic flow analytics watch the lines that feed production for slow losses.
Can AQUAIOT shut the water off before a line is hit?
Yes. Auto-isolation valves close the supply the moment a moisture or abnormal-flow threshold is crossed, before water reaches a running line or its equipment, with an immediate alert to the on-shift team.
Will installation disrupt production?
No. Sensors and clamp-on ultrasonic flow monitoring are non-invasive and retrofit-friendly, so there is no pipe cutting and work fits around shift patterns and planned maintenance.
How does this protect uptime?
By catching a slow leak early and isolating the supply before water reaches a line, the system helps avoid the unplanned shutdown, equipment damage and lost output that cost far more than the leak itself.
Does it integrate with our SCADA and BMS systems?
Yes. AQUAIOT is open and interoperable, connecting to existing SCADA, BMS and CAFM platforms via RS485, Modbus or REST API, with no lock-in.
