BactoSense SMART

The BactoSense® SMART is centred around its ability to combine real-time microbial detection with advanced automation, connectivity, and process intelligence, enabling a shift from monitoring to active control.

The system delivers rapid results within minutes and integrates seamlessly into SCADA and PLC environments through Modbus TCP, analogue, and digital interfaces, allowing operators to automate responses and manage water quality dynamically across raw water, treatment, and distribution systems. Its continuous, high-frequency monitoring capability enables immediate detection of microbial anomalies, supporting early warning systems for contamination events and facilitating faster, more targeted interventions.

Beyond detection, BactoSense SMART enhances operational efficiency by providing actionable insights to optimise key processes such as pretreatment, filtration, and disinfection, extend asset lifespan, and improve overall system performance. In industrial and production environments, it further strengthens quality assurance by enabling real-time validation of processes like CIP, monitoring bottling lines, and supporting HACCP and GMP frameworks through proactive microbial control and traceable data management. Together, these capabilities position BactoSense SMART as a fully integrated, intelligent monitoring solution that not only detects microbial risks but actively supports optimisation, automation, and compliance across complex water and production systems.
