The Latest Innovation from FT
How does it work?
FTConnect connects FT cremators and ancillary equipment to a centralised digital platform that can be accessed via laptop, smartphone and tablet. It enables real time data capture, remote monitoring and intelligent analysis across single sites and larger crematorium networks.

At its core, FTConnect provides operators and owners with continuous visibility into equipment performance. Key operational data such as temperatures, cycle status, duration, energy usage, emissions performance, and system alerts are collected automatically and presented through an intuitive dashboard. This allows staff to oversee operations with greater confidence, consistency, and control, while reducing reliance on manual checks and paper-based records. FTConnect removes the guess work out of monitoring and reporting, and allows crematoriums to track data and performance as it happens.
FTConnect sets the benchmark in cremation innovation
FT Connect aligns the latest cremation technology with modern expectations of reporting and monitoring, allowing crematoriums to save money and save energy- optimising their cremators.
How does FTConnect benefit crematoriums?
FTConnect improves operational control, emission control and overall performance of FT cremators through data capture and interpretation. Operators can monitor the machine to improve direct performance and throughput.  From a managerial perspective, FTConnect provides peace of mind, providing real time visibility of cremator performance, health checks and preventative maintenance. Reducing uncertainty, inconsistency, and down-time. FTConnect works holistically with FT service and maintenance packages, as an optional add on to existing and new customers, ultimately supporting the customers overall operation, reducing breakdowns, and reducing downtime.
Testimonial- early adopter:
"FTConnect has been a game-changer for monitoring the performance and operation of our machines. The tool offers visibility we've been missing for years, the clarity and practical impact allows us to monitor and adjust operations depending on the data, saving money, time, and materials."
From a sustainability perspective, FTConnect enables more informed decision-making around energy efficiency and emissions management. By analysing performance trends over time, operators can identify opportunities to optimise cycles, reduce fuel consumption, and operate equipment in a more environmentally responsible manner without compromising service quality.

FTConnect also strengthens regulatory compliance and governance. Automated data logging creates accurate, time-stamped operational records that support environmental reporting. For organisations focused on sustainability, FTConnect enables data-driven optimisation of fuel use and emissions performance. By analysing historical and real-time data, crematoriums can refine operating practices to improve efficiency, and reduce environmental impacts.

FTConnect supports strategic oversight for multi-site crematoriums and local authorities. Centralised access to multiple crematoriums allows management to benchmark performance, standardise best practices, and make informed investment and maintenance decisions across their portfolio. FTConnect benefits crematoriums by reducing risk, improving efficiency, supporting compliance, and providing confidence that critical cremation services are delivered reliably.
