Illustrative report — layout and figures are examples

What we solve.

Five problems every treatment provider running remote sites already has. XPC answers all five from one operating record.

XPC Water live SCADA process view of a remote water treatment site in the Permian Basin.

Live process view

“We find out something went wrong when somebody drives out there.”

See it while it is still small

Live readings, device status and recent images in one view. Set a limit on any reading — a level climbing, a pump dropping out — and XPC texts you the moment it crosses.

Field operator spreadsheets parsed into structured, searchable water treatment dashboards.

1,640+ spreadsheets parsed

“The monthly report takes someone a full day to put together.”

Stop rebuilding the report

Operators keep emailing the spreadsheet they already fill in. XPC parses it, structures it, and turns it into the recurring customer report.

Raw camera frame of a DAF treatment tank before AI analysis. The same DAF tank frame with treatment zones segmented and coverage measured.

Hover: raw → measured

“‘Looks about right’ is what goes in the log. There is no number.”

Put a number on what you can see

Authorized site images are analyzed by zone and measured against that site’s own baseline, so this week is comparable with last week.

Thirty-day DAF coverage trend for a single produced water treatment site.

30 days, one site

“A customer asks about one day last month and we are digging through email.”

Answer from the record, not memory

Pull the window. Field record, instrument readings and site images for that site and that period, side by side, for a person to review.

A transfer trailer and containment area at a produced water site. The same view with liquid on the containment outlined and flagged as a spill zone.

Hover: raw → detected

“Nobody sees a leak start. We see it once it has spread far enough for someone to notice.”

See a spill while it is small

Cameras watch containment, pipework and transfer areas. Liquid where it should not be gets outlined and flagged as a spill zone, on the frame it appears in.

ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Prove what left the site

“A load goes out and the only record is a ticket somebody wrote down. When the volume is questioned six weeks later, there is nothing to check it against.”

Time-stamped images of vehicle activity at the transfer point, the tank level on either side of it, and the telemetry for that window — assembled next to the ticket, so a disputed load has a record behind it instead of a memory.

A camera establishes that activity happened. It does not establish volume — that needs tank level, a meter, or a digital ticket. XPC assembles evidence for reconciliation, not certified custody-transfer measurement.

Plan a 45-day validation

Start with one site and one workflow. Agreed success measures, and a decision on day 45.

Technology

Built for sites that are hard to reach and harder to prove.

Four parts, and you can inspect all of them: where the software runs, what the models actually do, how it reads your control system, and what happens when the network drops.

Technology / Where it runs

Where it runs is your call.

Most platforms make you choose them or your own infrastructure. XPC runs either way, from the same codebase, with the same features.

OPTION 1 · HOSTED

XPC Cloud

We run it. You get a browser and a login, and nothing to maintain.

  • Hosted in a carrier-neutral US colocation facility
  • Redundant power with generator backup and precision cooling
  • Each customer in an isolated tenant environment
  • Single sign-on with your identity provider — Microsoft Entra ID or Okta — or XPC multi-factor authentication
  • Encrypted in transit; role-based access across six built-in roles
  • Updates and backups handled by us

The fastest way to start. Most customers begin here and stay.

OPTION 2 · ON PREMISE

Inside your own network

The same platform as a Docker container on your servers. Your data never leaves your perimeter.

  • Deploys as a container into your existing environment
  • No inbound access required from the internet
  • Your database, your storage, your backup policy
  • Single sign-on against your own directory — Microsoft Entra ID or Okta — or XPC multi-factor authentication
  • Runs alongside your control network without touching it
  • Same features, same release train as the hosted product

For operators whose security policy will not allow site data to leave the building.

Certified facilitiesOur colocation provider’s facilities are certified to SOC 1, SOC 2 and PCI DSS, and are HIPAA-aligned.
National footprintThirteen interconnected data centres across major US markets, so capacity grows without a migration.
Carrier neutralHundreds of transit providers and peering exchanges rather than a single upstream.
Built for uptimeRedundant power, diesel generator backup, precision cooling and fire suppression.
Staffed around the clockEngineers and technicians on site at every facility, not a ticket queue.
Predictable costNo capital build-out and no hardware refresh cycle to budget for.

These certifications are held by the colocation facilities that host XPC, and describe the environment the platform runs in.

Technology / The AI

Purpose-built models for the industry.

Not a general-purpose vision API pointed at a tank. Each model is trained on this industry’s equipment and scenes, and each runs against the view it was built for. The output is a number you can trend, not an impression.

Camera frame

YOU USE IT TO

Trend today against this site’s own baseline

Sludge, water and background separated pixel by pixel, then measured inside the zones drawn for that camera. Because the zones are fixed, this week’s number is comparable with last week’s.

Technology / SCADA

Every site on one screen.

XPC reads your PLCs directly and puts the live process picture for every site behind one single sign-on or multi-factor login. No VPN for each location, and no second control system to learn.

  • ONVIFCameras discovered and controlled through the standard, not a vendor app.
  • MQTT / TLSEverything the box collects, encrypted end to end on the way out.

Integrations start read-only. XPC watches your control system; it does not drive it, and nothing on this screen writes back to a PLC unless you deliberately enable it.

Technology / Edge hardware

A box that assumes the network will fail.

The AIBox sits at the site, talks to the cameras and the PLCs, and keeps working when the link drops. Built and tested by the same people who install it.

PATH 3Site wifi or wiredUsed when the site already has a link worth using, and held as a fallback when it does not.
EDGE INFERENCELOCAL BUFFERINGSYNCS WHEN THE LINK RETURNSREMOTE UPDATESTLS THROUGHOUTDUST, HEAT AND VIBRATION RATED

Connectivity is the thing that quietly kills remote monitoring projects. Three independent paths and local buffering mean a site keeps recording through an outage and catches up afterwards, instead of leaving a hole in the record on the day someone asks about it.

Immediate alerts on your thresholds.

Set a limit on any reading XPC receives — level, flow, pressure, chemical feed, or a device going quiet. When it trips, the alert goes out by SMS with the site and the value that crossed the line. Your thresholds, your sites, your people.

  • Per-device rules, set by you
  • Rate-of-change as well as fixed limits
  • Repeat suppression so one event is one alert
  • Every evaluation logged and reviewable

Leadership

A team of people you can actually reach.

XPC is built, installed and supported by the operators who invented it, together with selected consulting teams. When you call, you get the person who wrote the code or the person who wired the box.

How the team supports you.

It is the fair question to ask a small company, and here is the answer, in writing, before you have to ask.

You reach the buildersNo account manager layer and no first-line queue. The person who answers is the person who wrote the code or wired the box.
You can hold it yourselfXPC deploys as a container inside your own network. On-premise customers hold their own data and their own database from day one, and source escrow can be written into the agreement.
Nothing is locked to usPostgres, Docker, MQTT and ONVIF throughout. No proprietary formats, and nothing in your data that needs XPC to read it.

Team

Nobody runs a treatment site from a laptop.

The platform is a small team. The work is not. XPC is built alongside the industrial water expert crews who run these sites every day — the operators, field techs and equipment people who tell us when something is wrong, and who put up with us mounting cameras on their catwalks.

Teamwork makes things happenPERMIAN BASINNothing on this page was built alone. Operators, engineers and field crews working the same problem is what turns a good idea into something that survives a Permian summer.

The crews shown here work for our customers, not for XPC, and appear with their agreement. We are grateful for it. The product is measurably better for having been built on a working site rather than in an office.

Testimonials

The people who depend on it, in their words.

Not a survey score. Named operators, engineers and directors running produced water treatment across the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford.

“Managing a fleet of dissolved air flotation systems, including the largest one in the Permian Basin, requires an analytics platform that can scale and be responsive to rapid change. The XPC platform does that, and our customers and staff depend on the reporting and alerting.”

About us

A software company that decided to go stand in the mud.

Sager Systems has been building software since 2000. XPC Water is what happened when that experience was pointed at an industry where the data was real, the conditions were hostile, and nobody had connected the pieces.

Ivan Sager on the catwalk of a treatment unit in the Permian Basin.

“If I am asking an operator to trust the number, I should be standing at the tank when we take it.”IVAN SAGER, FOUNDER

We are a technology team, not a services firm with a product attached. The core is small and senior, extended by selected consulting teams when specialist work needs doing, and it stays that way on purpose.

That shape is why a customer request can become a deployed change in days rather than quarters. Startup pace, in an environment that does not forgive mistakes — produced water treatment is regulated, safety-critical and unforgiving of software that guesses. We move quickly and we ship carefully, and those are not in conflict when the people writing the code are the people standing on the catwalk.

There is no sales floor, no account management layer and no marketing department to fund. Money goes into capability, not overhead. Every dollar a customer spends shows up as something the platform can do that it could not do before.

And we are clear about the order of things. Without customers, none of this matters. The roadmap is written on operating sites, by operators, with us listening.

Small and senior, deliberatelyThe people who answer the phone are the people who wrote the code. Extended by consulting teams for specialist work, never by headcount for its own sake.
Agile, in a regulated worldFast enough to ship a customer request this week. Careful enough that it holds up in an environment where being wrong has consequences.
Capability over overheadNo admin layer to fund. What you pay for turns into what the platform can do, and you can usually see it inside a release.
