Improving Water Quality in Food Production

Water quality may vary at various processing stages and across factories. For example, the water needs for products such as infant formula, produce preparation, and meat processing differs substantially. Finding a solution that is flexible enough to fit the needs of existing food production setups is essential. After all, many operations have different water requirements and may require water testing at influent and effluent locations. Some operations need water recycling or are introducing water efficiency practices into their processes.

Others must ensure compliance with wastewater regulations. Automating these various tasks across the value chain makes tracking and controlling water usage more manageable. 

Previously, food production operations required manual sampling and third-party lab reports to understand their water quality and composition. However, with the adoption of digital water technologies, companies can remove these mundane tasks and automate water testing to make water quality monitoring and reporting cheaper, more efficient, and more accessible.

With KETOS, food producers can:

• Monitor for 30+ parameters (including heavy metals such as lead and arsenic)
• Customize threshold alerts to protect equipment and product quality
• Test water at every stage of food production with ease
• Centralize water quality data in one easy-to-read, cloud-enabled dashboard
• Gather data in real-time for on-the-fly decision making

KETOS is modular and interoperable, meaning you can place monitoring devices at any point in your existing infrastructure for real-time lab-accurate readings. With KETOS, food producers can use less water, recycle water more efficiently, protect their water quality, and avoid regulatory fines for pennies on the dollar.
