Water treatment company, HydroChem, is rolling out a new online application to its clients to help control Legionella outbreaks.
The application called Clarity presents real-time field data in visualisations so users can quickly view and understand vast amounts of asset water health information at a glance. Its innovative distillation of big data may well be a world firs, according to HydroChem CEO, Nick Duncan.
With Clarity, decision makers can see trends in their data sets through standardised line graphs, and algorithms designed to provide a time-saving overview of water health.
Using this technology, Australian facility managers can drill down into charts, graphs and reports for more detail, interactively changing what data they see.
Duncan said HydroChem invested in the application to save time when dealing with multiple reports while providing a complete 360 degree portfolio view.
Sydney was hit with a wave of outbreaks last year but Duncan said these outbreaks are entirely preventable with the right water management and treatment.
“Clarity users can produce compliance documentation to health officials with just a few clicks, reassuring authorities their facilities are not the source of infection,” Duncan said.
“In the past, this process has taken many hours and has hindered the ability of health officials to quickly isolate and resolve the outbreak.
“Clarity gives our clients full visibility over the health of their assets.”
For Clarity’s design and development, HydroChem partnered with Indietech, a Melbourne design and marketing agency with a focus on technology.
Indietech director, Ben Dexter, said Clarity combines big ideas, innovation and technical data into a simply understood dashboard.
“The journey of how a PH test can travel through to a consolidated dashboard is simply amazing, and is exactly what big data is all about,” he said.
