How We Work

For the last eight years, Optimos been building a portfolio of leading technologies, primarily focused on on-line, remote monitoring of water quality and associated parameters.

 

Our technologies are widely applicable and versatile; however every application is different. In some applications, these technologies are stand-alone solutions, while in other applications they will form part of the solution in conjunction with other selected technologies.

 

We work with our customers to ensure that we understand and fully define their requirements, and to configure the solution specifically for their needs. Optimos Solutions then manages the supply, installation, commissioning and handover of the system, and at the customer’s request, provides training.

 

While continuing to expand our technology portfolio, Optimos has also been developing a strong services capability.  We now offer several complementary and value-adding services in the following areas:

 

  • Process and product management using the proven principles of cleaner production to monitoring, measurement, assessment and continuous improvement
