Utilities Management
UMS, EMS, utilities monitoring, and water loop management to ensure availability, performance, and cost control
Your Challenges
Utilities are often treated as just another cost center, even though production can’t run without them. A failure in a water loop, a compressed air network, or a steam generation system can shut down an entire production area, or even a whole site.
Common pain points :
- Lack of visibility into utility networks
- Difficulty spotting overconsumption
- Temperature, pressure, or flow deviations
- Aging, poorly instrumented networks
- Difficulty anticipating failures
- No correlation between consumption and production
- Poorly managed utilities have a direct impact on industrial performance.
Our Solution
We implement monitoring and control solutions that let you manage all of your industrial utilities efficiently.
UMS - Utility Management System
A UMS lets you monitor and control all of a manufacturing site’s utility infrastructure.
Equipment Monitored
- Steam generation
- Steam networks
- Compressed air
- Chilled water
- Hot water
- Purified water
- Industrial cooling
- Process fluid generation and distribution
Features
- Centralized utilities monitoring
- Control of critical equipment
- Startup and shutdown sequence management
- Performance monitoring
- Alarm and fault management
- Historization of critical parameters
EMS - Environmental Monitoring System
An EMS continuously monitors critical environments to ensure regulatory compliance and control over production conditions.
Parameters Monitored
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Differential pressure
- Particles
- CO2
Features
- Real-time monitoring
- Alarm management
- Data historization
- Regulatory reporting
- GMP compliance
- Monitor and trace your critical environments.
Water Loop Management
We support our clients with :
- Chilled water loops
- Hot water loops
- Purified water (PW) loops
- Reverse osmosis (RO) water loops

Reliability & Redundancy
Because a single utility failure can shut down an entire plant :
- PLC redundancy
- SCADA server redundancy
- Redundant pumps and critical equipment
- Degraded-mode management
- Gestion des modes dégradés
Secure your critical infrastructure and keep production running.
