Offers

1. Real-Time Microplastic Monitoring

We offer a subscription-based sensor solution for continuous microplastic detection in water treatment processes. The system integrates directly into existing infrastructure and delivers real-time, particle-level data on quantity, size, and material composition of microplastics.

Unsere intelligente Sensorlösung überwacht kontinuierlich Mikroplastik in Flüssigkeiten – verfügbar als flexibles Abonnement-Service. Das System fügt sich nahtlos in bestehende Infrastrukturen ein und erfasst präzise Echtzeitdaten: Anzahl, Größe und Materialzusammensetzung von Mikroplastik sowie weiteren Partikeln im Wasser. Die Lösung unterstützt Kläranlagen bei der Umsetzung der neuen Kommunalabwasserrichtlinie und optimiert professionelle Umweltmonitoring-Services.

2. Environmental Data Services

ZAITRUS provides qualitative and quantitative data visualization, alerts, and compliance reports via cloud or on-premise dashboards - enabling smarter, data-driven water management in municipalities and utilities.

ZAITRUS liefert präzise Datenvisualisierung, automatische Warnmeldungen und Compliance-Berichte über flexible Cloud- oder On-Premise-Dashboards. Das Ergebnis: Kommunen und Versorgungsunternehmen treffen fundierte Entscheidungen für sauberes Wasser.

3. Integration & Maintenance Support

Our “Monitoring-as-a-Service” model includes sensor installation, maintenance, remote updates, and data interpretation support. No lab work, no delays - just clean data at your fingertips.

Mit unserem Monitoring-as-a-Service-Modell erhalten Sie den Komplettservice: Installation, Wartung, Updates und Datenanalyse aus einer Hand. Kein Labor, keine Wartezeiten - nur präzise Messdaten auf Knopfdruck.


Company Experience

Founded in 2024, ZAITRUS is supported by SPRIND, Germany’s federal agency for breakthrough innovation. Our patented AI-driven detection technology has undergone comprehensive validation through our partnership with the Collaborative Research Centre 1357 Microplastics at the University of Bayreuth, with proven effectiveness demonstrated in pilot programs across industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities. With robust field data, high classification accuracy, and a scalable subscription model, ZAITRUS is now moving from prototype to large-scale deployment in municipal infrastructure and industrial operations.

Bax & Company

https://digitalkiosks.org/ Digital Kiosks is a European network for the deployment of sharing stations to create more sustainable and liveable communities. Sharing stations are creating a new seamless experience to share and access goods in the city. Through connected lockers, citizens can access the goods they need, directly where they need it. This reduces the need to purchase unnecessary equipment.  They can be found in indoor environments such as building lobbies, libraries, local shops and office buildings and in outdoor environments such as parks, public squares, playgrounds and beaches.  Public authorities and housing providers have the opportunity to  activate and claim spaces for communities to bond through sharing.
