FluxGen Sustainable Technologies: Harnessing Technology For A Water-Positive Future

Ganesh Shankar , Founder and CEO, FluxGen Sustainable Technologies

 

 

In an era marked by unprecedented human development and technological advancements, water is an invaluable resource, serving as the intricate link binding ecosystems and orchestrating essential cycles. A pervasive lack of vigilance has impeded its accessibility, giving rise to pressing issues of water scarcity and disputes, resulting in 163 million Indians lacking access to safe drinking water.

 

As a critical resource essential for societal functioning, industries face significant challenges in water-stressed regions. Unregulated water usage poses a direct violation of crucial compliance regulations. Water scarcity not only increases operational costs for industrial facilities but can also lead to disruptions in functionality due to water unavailability. A substantial risk is posed to businesses, potentially resulting in closures and subsequent financial losses in the order of millions of rupees.

 

So, how do we address this concern? FluxGen Sustainable Technologies postulates that end-to-end digital water intelligence solutions are the key to resolving the water crisis.

Rebuilding the Water Infrastructure

All kinds of industries- be it small, medium, or established- face the pertinent risk of water crisis, which, if neglected, can damage their water infrastructure. This would bring the lack of water to dangerous levels, increasing costs for the industries and posing a risk to their continuity and reputation. 

 

However, most industries still rely on conventional methods of managing water, such as manually recording water data readings. Manual readings have a higher margin of error, leading to water and resource wastage. 

 

Spearheading the digital revolution, FluxGen brings technology-enabled solutions to make water data as transparent and clear as the liquid itself.

Cloud Platforms: Leading the Charge

 

For industries, preserving groundwater is a must for several reasons. The need to comply with regulations and disclose water usage makes it crucial to focus on conserving groundwater. Understanding and prioritizing the preservation of this essential resource is not just a responsibility; it's a smart and necessary move in today's context.

 

FluxGen pioneers the digital frontier by bringing water data to life on a cloud platform. This innovation allows for keen observation and comprehension of water usage behaviours within industrial and commercial sectors. A visually engaging dashboard will steer the user towards efficiency, fueled by cloud-powered water data. Through this approach, it is possible to curb unnecessary water consumption and empower industries to embrace a culture of compliance and self-sufficiency. 

 

Pioneering Change Through IoT Sensors

 

Curious about the mechanics of digital water management? Instead of manual readings, introduce IoT-based sensors that precisely measure water flow, level, quality, pressure, and groundwater. These sensor-generated readings seamlessly integrate into the cloud, offering accessible and shareable data via mobile and web applications. 

 

Beyond ensuring meticulous statistics, this solution equips industries with the means to take corrective action. Leveraging a cloud data science platform, it identifies leakage, minimizes waste, and optimizes water usage through prescriptive alerts, allowing industries to proactively mitigate the risks associated with water mismanagement. It's a sophisticated solution for industries seeking precision and efficiency in water resource management.

 

Groundwater reserve is the source of 45% of total irrigation and 80% of domestic water. FluxGen Sustainable Technologies wants to build a future where technology is leveraged to promote a sustainable ecosystem that supports water conservation through automated identification and water management solutions. — Ganesh Shankar

 

Similar to a product-as-a-service model, the integration of IoT hardware and a cloud platform enhances water infrastructure. It constantly monitors every aspect of water management, from usage to wastage, and enters the data into a data science platform to reduce overall water consumption by up to 30 percent.

Envisioning a Water-Positive Future

 

What can be measured, can be managed. At its core, FluxGen Sustainable Technologies is a B2B company that believes in harnessing technology's unlimited and latent potential to tackle water-related challenges. FluxGen’s approach focuses on creating enduring digital solutions that are not just theoretical but practical, aimed at preserving and saving water.

 

Incorporating IoT-powered data collection, water pattern identification systems, and a dedicated cloud platform, industries gain comprehensive control over their water management systems. This enables them to effectively handle water data, formulate strategies, and pave the way for a future defined by water-positivity.
