Industrial Data Systems · Software division
Trade-waste compliance and billing you can defend
Industrial Data Systems replaces the trade-waste spreadsheet a compliance manager keeps by hand. It flags a breach at data entry, checks the utility invoice against an independent estimate, and signs the monthly report. It is the software line of X Vision, and it keeps its own name and its own site.
An X Vision line
The software division of X Vision Technologies
The same company that builds the X Float and X Foam instruments builds Industrial Data Systems. Here it sits alongside them, because a plant that measures its process well should be able to account for its discharge just as well.
Industrial Data Systems keeps its own identity and its own site. At least one plant already runs more than one X Vision system — the compliance software and an edge-vision instrument, on the same operations team.
At data entry
The breach caught before the month closes
- Catch a breach as it is typed
- Each reading is checked against its licence limit the moment it is entered, so an exceedance is flagged the same day instead of surfacing when the month is reconciled.
- Check the invoice against your own data
- It builds an independent estimate of the trade-waste charge from your logged flow and load, then compares it line by line with the utility bill. A gap becomes a question you can raise with evidence.
- Produce a signed monthly report
- One action turns the month into a signed PDF, ready to send to the regulator or the utility. No workbook to assemble by hand.
- Retire the spreadsheet
- The trade-waste workbook a compliance manager keeps by hand becomes a system with an audit trail on every entry.

Running in the field
The same plant runs two X Vision systems
At an Australian process plant, Industrial Data Systems handles the trade-waste compliance while an X Vision instrument watches the tanks. One plant, more than one X Vision system, feeding the same operations team.
Questions
Common questions
- What does Industrial Data Systems do?
- It manages trade-waste compliance and billing. It flags licence-limit breaches at data entry, reconciles the utility invoice against an independent estimate built from your logged data, and produces a signed monthly PDF. It replaces the spreadsheet a compliance manager keeps by hand.
- How does it catch a breach earlier?
- It checks each reading against its licence limit as the reading is entered, so an exceedance is flagged the same day rather than found when the month is reconciled.
- How does the billing reconciliation work?
- It builds an independent estimate of the trade-waste charge from your own logged flow and load, then compares it line by line with the utility invoice. Where the two disagree, you have an evidenced query to raise.
- Is it an alternative to WIMS or AQUARIUS?
- It covers the trade-waste compliance and billing workflow specifically — breach detection at entry, invoice reconciliation, and a signed monthly report — for sites running that on a spreadsheet today.
- How is it related to the X Vision instruments?
- Industrial Data Systems is the software division of X Vision Technologies. It keeps its own name and site, and at least one plant already runs it alongside an X Vision instrument.
