Uncountable Launches Environmental Monitoring Software for Food Manufacturing Facilities
Uncountable has launched a new environmental monitoring capability for food and beverage manufacturers. The software allows quality teams to map environmental sampling points on facility floor plans, schedule sampling activities, automatically generate laboratory requests, and link test results to specific sampling locations and monitoring plans.
Uncountable's new capability allows quality teams to upload facility floor plans and designate monitoring areas, such as RTE food packaging zones or sterile filling suites. Areas can be classified by food hygienic zone (1–4), EU GMP grade (A–D), or ISO 14644-1 class (5, 7, or 8).
Users can place sampling points directly on facility maps and configure sampling methods, including swab, air, and settle plate sampling.
Quality teams can then develop sampling plans by selecting monitoring points and establishing daily, weekly, monthly, or annual sampling frequencies, with specified start and end dates. Once a plan is finalized, the software schedules sampling events and can issue recurring notifications.
Each scheduled event automatically generates a laboratory request and a sample record for every designated sampling point. For cleanroom monitoring, records also indicate whether the room was at rest or in operation during sampling.
Technicians can access sampling requests through the web platform or an approved mobile device, enter sample information, and attach photographs documenting conditions observed during collection, such as visible contamination, obstructions, or changes in sampling position.
Laboratory results are linked to the corresponding sampling point, event, monitoring area, and plan, allowing quality teams to retrieve associated records during audits and investigations.

The software checks laboratory results against configurable specification limits and flags out-of-specification values. When follow-up is required, users can create quality records within Uncountable's quality management system (QMS) and link them to the relevant samples.
According to Uncountable, the system maintains audit logs and electronic signatures aligned with U.S. and EU regulatory requirements.
The platform also includes Bodie, Uncountable's artificial intelligence (AI) agent, which can analyze environmental monitoring records to identify repeated failed checks, compare results by sampling location, method, or cleanroom occupancy state, and generate trend charts.
The AI agent can also summarize attached laboratory reports and identify records requiring further review.
Uncountable said the environmental monitoring capability can be integrated with external laboratory information management systems (LIMS) through its application programming interface (API), software development kit (SDK), or Model Context Protocol (MCP) access. Integration with telemetry and environmental, health, and safety (EHS) systems is also supported.
