Classeq Launches Wi-Fi Connectivity Across Warewashing Range



Classeq, the leading British manufacturer of professional warewashing equipment, has launched Wi-Fi connectivity across its full range of dishwashers, glasswashers and utensil washers with the introduction of Clean Connect.

 

Designed to bring greater control, visibility and simplicity to high-volume warewashing environments, Clean Connect enables operators to remotely monitor their machines through a single online portal – providing real-time insight without needing to be on site.

 

In busy professional kitchens and bars, warewashing is mission-critical. When machines perform, service runs seamlessly. When they don’t, disruption is immediate. Clean Connect gives operators instant visibility of performance, usage and maintenance requirements – helping teams protect wash quality, drive efficiency and avoid unnecessary downtime.

 

Wi-Fi connectivity and access to the Clean Connect portal is available across Classeq’s full warewashing range*, delivering measurable benefits across multiple areas:

 

Quality wash results: Regular cleaning is essential for consistent wash quality and long-term machine performance. Clean Connect allows operators to check whether drain down, refresh and deep-clean cycles are being completed correctly, helping maintain standards across every shift and site.

 

Energy efficiency: By comparing operating hours with powered hours, customers can identify unnecessary energy consumption and adjust usage patterns accordingly – driving smarter, more cost-effective operations.

 

Hard water management: Limescale build-up remains one of the most common causes of machine failure. Clean Connect enables operators to monitor cycles completed without salt and proactively prompt teams to refill – protecting machines and avoiding costly repairs.

 

Preventative maintenance: Like mileage on a vehicle, wash cycles accumulate over time. Clean Connect allows servicing to be scheduled based on real usage data rather than fixed time intervals, supporting preventative maintenance strategies that maximise lifespan and reliability.

 

Multi-site visibility: From single-location operators to national estates, Clean Connect enables customers to monitor machine status across multiple sites within one simple dashboard, with the ability to drill down into individual machine data as required.

 

Multiple machines, one portal: Even smaller venues often run separate machines in kitchen and bar areas. Clean Connect enables managers to oversee both from one interface. Scale this across hotels, stadia, universities or contract catering operations, and the operational value increases significantly.

 

Service, rental and leasing support: For customers working with service partners, rental agreements or leasing models, Clean Connect enables wash cycle tracking, smarter servicing schedules and improved asset management – benefiting operators and suppliers alike.

 

Andy Salter, Managing Director at Classeq, said:

“Clean Connect represents a natural evolution of our warewashing range. Classeq machines are built to deliver exceptional results day in, day out - and now we’re giving customers the data and visibility to protect that performance."

“Connectivity isn’t about complexity; it’s about simplicity, and ease of visibility. It allows operators to stay ahead of maintenance, improve energy efficiency and maintain consistent wash standards across single sites or entire estates. For today’s hospitality businesses, that level of insight makes a real operational difference.”

 

Clean Connect adds an extra layer of value to Classeq’s British-built warewashing machines, helping operators maintain standards, support their teams and maximise the performance and lifespan of their equipment. All machines come with a two-year warranty as standard.

As discussions intensify around tighter regulations and potential restrictions on VPN usage in the UK, an increasing number of businesses are turning to proxy services as a reliable alternative. Proxies are emerging as the preferred solution for companies seeking consistent access to geo-restricted content and enhanced control over their digital footprints without the regulatory risks associated with VPNs.


Decodo’s internal data reveals a remarkable 65% increase in UK proxy users, reflecting a broader change in how businesses approach online access and data operations.


“Companies around the globe are getting smarter about how they operate in highly competitive landscapes. Instead of just picking the most popular tools, they’re choosing what actually works best for them, whether that’s faster, easier to use, or works better with region-specific restrictions. It shows that people are thinking more critically about their options" explains Vytautas Savickas, CEO at Decodo.


The Technology Shift Driving Proxy Adoption

Unlike traditional VPNs, which use full encryption to route traffic through a single tunnel, proxies provide more granular routing options and operate with fewer regulatory hurdles. This makes them highly adaptable for use cases including location-specific data collection, overcoming geo-restrictions, competitor monitoring, and reducing the risk of triggering anti-bot protections.


Technical Advantages Fuelling Growth

Modern proxy services now boast enterprise-grade security features combined with user-friendly interfaces, making them attractive to a wide range of businesses, including Fortune 500 companies. Analysis of Decodo’s traffic shows an 88% increase in proxy traffic originating from the UK, confirming a clear preference for proxies over VPN alternatives.


“More organizations in the UK are investing time in understanding the tools that power secure and efficient online operations. Most companies test out different solutions, providers, and do their research on proxies and VPNs, and they’re also making more informed, strategic choices,” adds

Gabriele Verbickaitė, Product Marketing Manager at Decodo.


Increasing Awareness and Educational Investment

More UK firms are investing in understanding the tools that ensure secure, scalable, and efficient digital operations. This heightened awareness is driving demand for solutions that align with business goals and offer resilience against regulatory uncertainty.


As more IT leaders, data engineers, and digital marketing teams engage with industry resources and technical content, the bar for what qualifies as an effective solution is rising. This feedback loop is positioning the UK as one of the most advanced and discerning markets for enterprise-grade proxy technology.


UK Businesses Lead the Proxy Adoption Wave

Sectors such as eCommerce, finance, fintech, digital marketing, and cybersecurity are rapidly integrating proxies into daily operations for tasks like market research, competitor price tracking, localized ad verification, and SEO monitoring.


Companies are increasingly moving beyond basic VPNs to adopt sophisticated proxy types, including: residential, mobile, datacenter, and ISP proxies, that provide better location accuracy, stability, and higher success rates when accessing geo-restricted or bot-protected content.


“UK businesses are quickly adopting proxy services, moving beyond simple VPNs to more advanced setups that offer greater control over their online activity. It’s no longer just about staying private – performance and reliability are now just as important," continues Vaidotas Juknys, Head of Commerce at Decodo.


Looking Ahead: Strategic Decisions Amid Regulatory Uncertainty

The surge in proxy adoption is not a fleeting trend but a strategic response to potential VPN restrictions looming in the UK regulatory landscape. Businesses are proactively migrating to proxy services to maintain uninterrupted access and competitive advantage.


Decodo’s data highlights a 65% rise in UK proxy users and an 88% increase in proxy traffic, underscoring that companies of all sizes, from startups to enterprises, are making informed decisions to safeguard their digital operations now, rather than waiting for policy changes.
