Chemical manufacturer State Industrial Products has launched an industrial IoT platform for infrastructure and industrial applications. The StaWatch platform is designed to monitor water treatment chemicals, disinfectants and other products in large industrial plants, buildings and across state infrastructure. Its first Iot application is for cooling towers. The new application allows State to provide customers with 24/7 remote management and monitoring of their cooling water.

“By constantly monitoring our customers’ cooling tower systems, we offer more than just our standard monthly service.” Brian Limbert, COO, said. “Now our customers have an improved depth of support from our experts monitoring their mission critical equipment 24/7 and helping to avoid costly surprises at all times.”

Using IoT technology, State representatives are able to monitor and control customers’ cooling tower systems and chemicals as part of a Legionella control plan. When paired with the new SuperCool Cooling Tower Traced Inhibitor product, this system also allows State to measure corrosion inhibitor chemical levels in real time. These options are designed to ensure operational efficiency to lower water usage and sewage and electrical costs.

“Our newly developed StaWatch Cooling Tower technology, matched with our high-performing corrosion inhibitor products, brings our water treatment programme offerings to the next level for our customers,” said Keith Lewis, Vice President of Marketing. “With automated alerts and reporting on system status, StaWatch provides our customers regulatory and operational peace of mind and brings a whole new level of value to the forefront.”
