From field data to confident decisions: KISTERS welcomes James Slattery

New Business Development & Sales Manager strengthens KISTERS commitment to helping Australian water and environmental organisations turn reliable data into better decisions.

Press release: Sydney, Australia – 3 November 2026

For water utilities and environmental organisations, collecting data is only the beginning. The real challenge is knowing it can be trusted, connecting information across systems and turning it into decisions that make a difference.

As artificial intelligence, automation and advanced analytics become increasingly important, the quality of the data behind them matters more than ever.

With experience in the water industry dating back to 2018, James brings practical industry knowledge and an understanding of the challenges faced by water utilities, environmental monitoring professionals and infrastructure operators.

His appointment reflects KISTERS’ commitment to moving beyond individual products to deliver connected, end-to-end monitoring solutions built around real customer needs.

From field instrumentation and telemetry to data management, visualisation and analysis, KISTERS brings together the technologies and expertise that help organisations capture trustworthy information, understand what it means and act with confidence.

For KISTERS, that confidence begins at the point of measurement and extends throughout the entire data journey.

From reliable field instrumentation and data collection to telemetry, data management, visualisation and analysis, KISTERS provides end-to-end monitoring solutions that help organisations turn accurate environmental information into informed decisions.

Chris Tornatore, General Manager of Instrumentation, KISTERS Australia, said:

“Our customers don’t just need more data. They need information they can trust, systems that work together and solutions that help them make better decisions.

As AI and automation become more embedded in everyday operations, getting the foundations right is critical. Reliable data is what makes these technologies genuinely valuable.”

James brings valuable hands-on industry experience and understands the challenges our customers face. His appointment strengthens our ability to connect those needs with practical, end-to-end solutions that deliver confidence in the data our customers rely on.”

Having begun his career working in the field, James understands firsthand the importance of dependable monitoring equipment, accurate measurements and accessible information.

In his new role, he will focus on strengthening customer relationships, identifying new opportunities and helping organisations select integrated monitoring solutions that meet their operational requirements.

James Slattery, Business Development & Sales Manager, KISTERS, said:

“Having worked in the field, I’ve seen how much organisations depend on accurate, reliable information to make everyday decisions. What attracted me to KISTERS is that it’s not just about supplying equipment or software. It’s about bringing everything together, from capturing data in the field to making it accessible and useful for the people who need it.

I’m looking forward to working closely with customers, understanding their challenges and helping them build monitoring solutions they can trust.”

As the demands on Australia’s water and environmental sectors evolve, KISTERS continues to invest in the people, expertise and connected technologies needed to help customers navigate what comes next.

Because better decisions begin with data you can trust.
