Leak detection for warehouses and logistics
Catch the leak before it reaches the stored goods.
Moisture, flow and freeze monitoring with automatic shut-off across large roofs, sprinkler and process water, racking and plant. AQUAIOT catches the leak over a loaded aisle before it soaks pallets, corrodes racking and writes off stored goods.
Live monitoring. Automatic shut-off.

Stored goods are written off by water.Pallets soaked from above are rarely salvageable. A single leak over a loaded aisle can destroy stock worth far more than any repair to the pipe that caused it.
Large roofs hide the entry point.Water enters through a vast roof at a valley or a failed seal and tracks across the deck before dropping onto racking far from where it got in.
Sprinkler and process lines weep slowly.Sprinkler mains and process water run above the floor and weep at joints. A ground-level walk-round never sees a slow loss developing overhead.
Racking and equipment corrode unseen.Persistent moisture degrades steel racking and handling equipment over time, undermining structural integrity and safety long before a dramatic failure shows.
The AQUAIOT SolutionRequest a Consultation
Leak detection for large-footprint warehouse and logistics sites
A warehouse covers acres under one roof, with sprinkler mains and process water running above racking stacked high with stored goods. AQUAIOT senses moisture along roof lines and at racking aisles, watches flow on sprinkler and process supplies for the slow loss that ground-level checks miss, and isolates the supply automatically before water reaches pallets that cannot be replaced overnight.
Sense across a large roof and racking. Moisture rope along roof lines and valleys, point sensors at racking aisles and plant, and flow analytics on sprinkler and process water supplies.
Isolate before stored goods are soaked. Auto-isolation valves cut the supply the moment a threshold is crossed, so a roof or pipe leak does not reach loaded racking and write off stock.
Give operations and insurers a clear record. Every reading and isolation event is timestamped and exportable, supporting stock-loss claims, business-continuity reviews and insurer audits.

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 in a warehouse?
Moisture rope runs along roof lines and valleys, with point sensors at racking aisles, plant rooms and dock areas. Flow analytics sit on sprinkler and process water supplies to catch slow losses overhead.
Can AQUAIOT shut the water off before stock is hit?
Yes. Auto-isolation valves close the supply the moment a moisture or abnormal-flow threshold is crossed, before water reaches loaded racking, with an immediate alert to the on-duty operations team.
Does it monitor sprinkler and process water systems?
Yes. Inline flow analytics watch sprinkler mains and process water supplies for the slow weep a manual walk-round misses, while moisture sensing catches water that has already escaped.
Will installation disrupt warehouse operations?
No. Sensors and clamp-on flow monitoring are non-invasive and retrofit-friendly, so there is no pipe cutting and work fits around live operations and shift patterns.
Does it connect to our building and SCADA systems?
Yes. AQUAIOT is open and interoperable, connecting to existing BMS, SCADA and CAFM platforms via RS485, Modbus or REST API, with no lock-in.
