Water Treatment Plants
Full potable-water process visibility — intake, dosing, clarification, filtration and final output.
About the App
Everything a plant runs on,
on one screen.
FlowSense reads directly from your PLCs and turns raw plant signal into something an operator can act on — live dashboards, mapped data, intelligent alerts and compliance-ready reports. Built for control-room use, accessible from anywhere.
Who it's for
Plant operators, process engineers and site managers who need to know what's happening now — not what happened at the end of the shift.
What it replaces
Clipboard rounds, spreadsheet logs and a SCADA screen you can only see from one room in the plant.
Why it matters
Faults get caught earlier, compliance reporting stops being a monthly scramble, and decisions are made on data you can defend.
01 — Monitoring
Plant Dashboards
Every plant gets a live overview built from its own PLC tags. Flow rate, pressure, pH, turbidity, tank levels and pump states — all updating in real time, all in the same visual language your team already reads at a glance.
-
Real-time PLC readings
Direct integration with plant controllers — no manual capture.
-
Multi-plant overview
Switch between sites, or watch the whole estate from one view.
-
Historical trend playback
Scrub back through any window to see how a value moved.

02 — Intelligence
Data Mapping & Alerts
Raw PLC tags are mapped to real-world assets once, then everything downstream — dashboards, alerts, reports — speaks in plant language rather than register addresses. Thresholds are set per asset, and breaches reach the right person immediately.
-
Tag & asset mapping
Register addresses become named, typed, unit-aware readings.
-
Threshold & fault alerts
Configurable per asset, with severity and escalation.
-
Validated readings
Out-of-range and stale values are flagged, never silently stored.
03 — Reporting
Reports & Directories
Compliance reporting is generated from the same validated data the dashboard shows — daily, weekly or monthly, exported to PDF or CSV. Alongside it, a plant directory keeps assets, contacts and maintenance history in one searchable place.
-
Scheduled compliance reports
Generated automatically and delivered to the right inbox.
-
PDF & CSV export
Hand straight to a regulator, or pull into your own analysis.
-
Searchable plant directory
Assets, contacts and service history, current and complete.

Under the hood
Fits the plant you already have
PLC
Direct integration
Reads from existing controllers — no rip-and-replace.
SCADA
Sits alongside
Complements your SCADA layer rather than competing with it.
Cloud
Access anywhere
Secure access from the control room, site office or phone.
POPIA
Compliant handling
Data handled in line with South African privacy requirements.
Solutions
One platform, four deployments
Wastewater Management
Effluent quality, blower and pump duty, sludge handling and discharge compliance in one view.
Industrial Water
Process, cooling and boiler water monitored against the tolerances your production depends on.
SCADA Integration
Sits alongside your existing SCADA layer, reading the same controllers without replacing them.
Industries
Who runs on FlowSense
Municipal Utilities
Town and city supply networks with statutory reporting obligations and multiple works to oversee.
Mining & Heavy Industry
Process water and effluent treatment where downtime carries direct production cost.
Food & Beverage
Potable and process water held to product-grade specification, with an audit trail to prove it.
Bottling & Purification
RO and polishing trains where membrane performance and turbidity drift need catching early.
Estates & Developments
Package plants serving lodges, estates and resorts, usually with no full-time operator on site.
Contract Operators
Teams running plants on behalf of others, who need one dashboard spanning every client site.
Shopping Malls
Retail centres recycling greywater and running on-site treatment, where a shutdown closes trading floors.
Hotels & Resorts
Hospitality sites treating their own supply and effluent, where guest experience depends on water never faltering.
