Digital transformation in water treatment isn’t a buzzword anymore – it’s the pathway to real-time awareness, faster decisions, and measurable sustainability gains. Kurita Connect360 (KC360) is Kurita’s global digital platform designed to centralize monitoring, analytics, and reporting across water treatment applications like cooling, boiler, membrane, and wastewater systems – whether you’re running a single facility or multi-site network.
Why a unified platform matters right now
Industrial water operations face a familiar mix of pressures: operational complexity from manual monitoring and fragmented systems; regulatory and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) pressure demanding auditable reporting and demonstrable reductions in water use and CO2; and evolving expectations for real-time insights, predictive maintenance, and standardized, transparent reporting. The webinar‘s central thesis: digital transformation is now essential – embedding IoT and analytic to move from reactive to predictive operations with harmonized KPIs and global oversight.
What is Kurita Connect360?
Architecture at a glance
KC360’s ecosystem covers water treatment application like cooling, boilers, wastewater and membrane systems; acquires data via controller/sensor IoT feeds or manual capture; and runs on a cloud stack with backup policies, SSO, and MFA for secure, recoverable access at global scale. The design lets organizations modernize at their own pace and still gain a single source of truth from plant‑level dashboards to executive multi‑site rollups.
A guided tour of the user experience
- Map view & site directory: a single map and list/card view with live alerts and language localization.
- Site overview: customizable, interactive dashboards (e.g., water quality, dosing, near real‑time controller feeds) and derived KPIs such as water savings, CO2 reduction, thermal conductivity trend, etc.
- Flexible data capture: connection‑agnostic IoT integrations plus a clean, configurable manual table with comments, tags, and asset links.
- Data visualization: choose time windows, resolution (hourly/daily/monthly), parameters and chart types; export for downstream workflows.
- Alerts & collaboration: filterable alert table, email notifications, and a secure document space with customer dedicated folders.
- Reporting: structured, period‑based narratives with editable text and images; duplicate and export to PDF.
- Multi‑site dashboards: roll up water, energy and CO2 KPIs across selected sites for governance and benchmarking within a single customer.
Sustainability: from visibility to value
Security, availability, and governance
Identity and access with single sign‑on and two‑factor authentication; cloud availability with data‑backup policies for recovery and continuity; and strict data boundaries so multi‑site aggregation stays within one customer.
Roadmap: what’s next
Kurita plans deeper integrations with customer systems; broader features for complex scenarios; UX enhancements; and increased AI/ML analytics on the growing dataset — guided by customer feedback and evolving water/plant management needs.
What this looks like in practice
From steel to petrochemicals and power generation, customers use KC360 to reduce water and energy use, improve operational efficiency, and streamline compliance — with the platform acting as shared, real‑time context across operations, engineering, sustainability and leadership.
Getting started
The simplest path is to schedule a demo or onboarding via your local Kurita team. KC360 can start IoT‑enabled, manual‑entry, or hybrid — and expand as integrations deepen.
