AI insights strengthen water hygiene innovation at HBE

Healthy Buildings Ireland (HBE) is a trusted leader in water hygiene and Legionella control, delivering monitoring and risk management solutions to clients across the UK and Ireland.

The Challenge

As HBE continued to innovate, the company wanted to understand how artificial intelligence could unlock more value from its IoT-enabled monitoring systems. The team aimed to explore how AI could help identify trends in water hygiene data, boost operational efficiency, and predict maintenance needs before issues arise.

Through tailored workshops and expert guidance, Hartree NI helped HBE clarify its priorities, strengthen its data strategy, and map out a clear roadmap for AI adoption, combining the company’s deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge digital expertise.
