Wireless Water Monitoring in Food Manufacturing
Elcomponent Ltd delivers intelligent, scalable water monitoring solutions designed specifically for demanding industrial environments such as food manufacturing. With a strong foundation in system design, integration, and commissioning, Elcomponent applies decades of expertise to help manufacturers gain real-time visibility into water usage, compliance, and sustainability performance.
Wireless System Architecture
At the core of the solution is a robust wireless architecture powered by LoRaWAN technology. This low-power, long-range network enables seamless communication between distributed sensors and a centralised data platform. LoRaWAN’ s ability to penetrate complex industrial layouts— including chilled storage areas, processing lines, and plant rooms— makes it ideally suited to food production environments.
The system supports a wide range of digital and pulse-output water meters, leak detectors, and flow sensors. These devices continuously monitor water usage and potential anomalies across the facility.

Data is collected by LoRaWAN gateways and transmitted securely to a cloud-based dashboard for analysis and reporting.
Water Monitoring for Process and Compliance
Water is a critical utility in food manufacturing, impacting everything from sanitation to process control. Elcomponent’ s wireless solution offers:
• Usage Monitoring: Real-time and historical tracking of water consumption by area or process, enabling precise allocation and benchmarking.
• Leak Detection: Early warning alerts reduce water loss and minimise disruption, particularly important in hygiene-critical zones.
• Compliance Reporting: Automated data logging supports regulatory reporting and internal audits, ensuring consistent adherence to environmental standards.
Adaptable and Cost-Effective
Wireless deployment eliminates the need for disruptive cabling and minimises installation time— vital in continuous production environments. The system is easily expandable, allowing additional monitoring point to be added without major infrastructure changes. Additional measurements such as energy, gas, temperature, air quality etc, are all available with the Elcomponent solution
