Waterleau Data Platform

From sensor to insight — one platform for all your plant data.

This proof-of-concept demonstrates how we collect raw sensor data from multiple plants, process it into meaningful KPIs, and make it available through dashboards and any tool of your choice.

Why a Data Platform?

Today

  • Data is scattered across different systems per plant
  • KPIs are calculated manually or in Excel
  • No cross-plant overview possible
  • Every new dashboard requires custom development
  • Locked into a single visualization tool

With the Data Platform

  • All plant data flows into one central system
  • KPIs are calculated automatically and consistently
  • Compare any plant from a single dashboard
  • Self-service: build your own charts and queries
  • Use any tool — Superset, Power BI, Grafana, Excel
