Making industries water positive by leveraging the power of AI & IoT

Problem

Industries account for one fifth of the world’s water consumption. According to United Nation’s world water assessment program which focuses on water quality and pollution has indicated that industrial activities are a major source of water pollution in India, with the discharge of untreated waste water and release of chemicals and toxic substances. Besides, the country is facing significant shortage of water due to increasing population, urbanization and drying up of rivers and lakes. According to United Nations, about 600 million people in India are facing extreme water crisis and the country is likely to become water scare by 2025. The recent water scarcity in Chennai, which is an industrial hub, further highlighted the urgent need for water conservation. Hence, there is a compelling need to conserve water in every possible way besides rejuvenating lakes and rivers.

Solution

The solution to this crisis was designed by Fluxgen. The company designed ‘Aquagen’, an IOT enabled device equipped to gather data from all possible sensors that monitored water flow, water level, water pressure, energy consumption by water infrastructure, etc. The data was digitized and placed in a secure cloud to obtain insights on water usage patterns through machine learning algorithms, thus reducing water consumption by 30%, achieved by eliminating leakage, wastage, or excessive usage where appropriate.

Fluxgen was able to monitor water from small and big human-size pipes, guzzlers from large scale industries, hospitals etc. Aquagen was deployed to obtain data and store it on the cloud platform and later accessed by the ground and plumbing staff on a Fluxgen mobile app. This app was able to detect leakages/wastage/excessive usage in less than 10 minutes which would have otherwise taken days or even months to identify, thus conserving water efficiently.

Social Impact

Saved 5 billion liters of water (Cumulative).
50+ Industrial facilities have successfully conserved water.
50+ Green jobs were created under this project.
4 out of 17 SDGs defined by United Nations were impacted, including clean water and sanitation, and industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
