Why do I need an ATP monitoring system?

In a food production facility, it is difficult to ensure that the surfaces on which food comes into contact are clean.  If no ATP system is in place, chances are a simple visual examination of the surface is taking place, to determine whether it’s clean.  The problem with this is that it’s subjective.  Two people can look at the surface and come to different conclusions, and visual inspections cannot always detect food residue. The real advantage of an ATP system is its immediacy of results.  In a matter of seconds a particular surface can be found to be not ready for production, a reclean can be implemented and production can start immediately thereafter.
