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.
An X Vision line
The software division of X Vision Technologies
The company that builds the X Float and X Foam instruments also builds Industrial Data Systems. It keeps its own name and its own site at industrialdata.systems.
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 workbook becomes a system with an audit trail on every entry and every edit.

Running in the field
The same plant has both X Vision systems
At an Australian food plant, Industrial Data Systems runs the trade-waste compliance while an X Foam camera is on trial on the process tanks. Both report to 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 is narrower than either. WIMS and AQUARIUS are plant-wide water-data platforms. Industrial Data Systems covers one workflow, trade-waste compliance and billing, for a site that runs it on a spreadsheet today. If that workflow already lives in a plant-wide system, this is not the right tool.
- How is it related to the X Vision instruments?
- Industrial Data Systems is the software division of X Vision Technologies, and it keeps its own name and site. One Australian food plant runs it alongside an X Foam camera on trial.
