The access to safe, clean water is one of the most urgent challenges of our time in today’s fast-moving, interconnected global village. Despite technological strides and improved infrastructure, millions are still grappling with water quality issues that threaten human life, agriculture, and industrial processes. It is within this context that CLUIX Innovations went on a journey to redefine water quality monitoring through the incorporation of cutting-edge technology, user-centered design as well as a strong commitment towards sustainability.
This article provides more details about us, including our background story, innovative solutions we have come up with so far and the changes we are effecting.
The Genesis of CLUIX: A Vision for Safer Water
The genesis of CLUIX is deeply rooted in the complexities surrounding India’s water management landscape. Mr. Chitranjan Singh (Chairman – CLUIX), who has been working for many years at the water supply department under government facilities had to face the challenges that come with traditional methods of testing water quality. This complex method frequently led to large delays because it required sample collection from various locations and centralized laboratory analysis thereby inhibiting quick health interventions. These experiences underscored the pressing need for more efficient decentralized approaches towards monitoring water quality.
CLUIX was born in recognition of this critical gap, out of a vision to democratize water testing and ensure that they provide meaningful insights in real time. Our aim was simple yet ambitious: to create affordable, portable and scalable solutions that enable people, corporations and governments to effectively monitor the quality of water as well as take preventive steps.
The idea for CLUIX came about when we realized the fact that tools available for testing the quality of water were often expensive, inaccessible, and inefficient. The traditional methods used to test water involved complex laboratory setups, long processes and specialized knowledge thereby denying communities particularly those found in remote areas access to reliable information on their water qualities.
It was with this goal in mind that CLUIX was launched. We had a simple but audacious objective: develop affordable , portable and real-time technologies for enabling individuals , organizations and governments to effectively monitor the quality of water so as prevent pollution from happening in the first place.
Introducing the CLUIX C012: The Game Changer in Water Quality Monitoring
The CLUIX C012, our flagship product, embodies our mission of providing innovative and user-friendly solutions. The CLUIX C012 is an internet of things (IoT) enabled portable water quality analyser that provides accurate onsite results in real time. Here’s why it’s a revolution:
- Portability and Ease of Use
Compact and lightweight, the CLUIX C012 is perfect for field work and remote locations. With an intuitive interface and simple controls, it doesn’t require any technical knowledge thus making it suitable for people who might not have such knowledge about technology to those that do.
- Comprehensive Parameter Measurement
Some of the essential water parameters that this device can measure include:
- pH (potential of Hydrogen) – It indicates acidity or alkalinity.
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Shows mineral content and salinity.
- Conductivity- This reflects ion concentration in a water sample.
- Turbidity- Measures the presence of physical contaminants in water sources.
- Chlorine Levels– It confirms disinfection efficiency in treated water.
With customizable sensor configurations, it assumes different roles ranging from drinking water analysis to industrial wastewater management as well as agricultural irrigation.
- Connectivity of the IoT for Insights in Real-Time
CLUIX C012 is more than a testing device; it is part of a complete IoT ecosystem. A cloud platform or mobile app receives real-time data from an analyzer to enable remote monitoring, trend analysis and immediate decision-making. This functionality is especially important in cases that involve large-scale operations and decentralized monitoring networks.
- Data Logging and Analysis
The days when one had to use a pen and paper are long gone. The device keeps track of historical data thereby enabling users to detect changes, identify sources of contamination and formulate strategies for long-term water management.
CLUIX’s Innovation Journey: Challenges and Milestones
Like any transformative journey, CLUIX’s path has been marked by challenges, learning, and growth.
- Bridging the Gap Between Lab and Field
One of our earliest difficulties was matching the accuracy of laboratory-grade equipment with our portable devices. We managed to strike a balance between portability and precision through unrelenting R&D, innovative calibration methods as well as rigorous testing exercises.
- Winning National and International Recognition
Our commitment to innovation has won us accolades at prestige platforms:
National Innovation Challenge Winner (2024): Organized by Jal Jeevan Mission & Invest India, this award validated our mission and provided pilot funding for large-scale deployments in Haryana
CII-Triveni Water Institute Award: This was in recognition of the good practices in management of water quality appreciated by Industry.
Global Representation: CLUIX has shown its solutions to audiences all over the world starting from SLUSH 2024 in Finland and Vienna-UP 2024 in Austria, thus getting new ideas and international tie-ups for global expansion. Winning “Tech for Planet” award at the tech2impact global event.
Scaling with Purpose
Our greatest achievements have come through large-scale projects:
Deployment of one hundred devices across two states (Uttar Pradesh & Tamilnadu) in India as part of ImagineH20 funding for validating our product.
Partnerships with organisations like PHED Haryana, Tata Trusts Assam and Ambuja Foundation to deal with various challenges associated with water quality.
Beyond Technology: Creating Sustainable Impact
Innovation, at CLUIX is incomplete without sustainability and community empowerment.
Educating Communities
Apart from providing tools, we also conduct workshops, webinars and training sessions to help explain about water quality to the communities. Knowledgeable communities are powerful communities.
Supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our work supports United Nations’ SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) as well as SDG 13 (Climate Action). In addition, we help advance overall environmental sustainability by reducing wastage through efficient handling of water resources.
Promoting Data-Driven Advocacy
Accessible data can be used by communities to hold authorities accountable; advocate for better policies on water management among others.
CLUIX’s Vision for the Future
Our journey has been an incredible one so far, but we are not through yet. CLUIX’s future belongs in expanding our influence by widening its scope:
- Global Scaling
From our participation in international forums, it is clear that regions like Europe and North America have a huge demand for low-cost water quality solutions due to challenges such as industrialization and climate change. We are looking to grow globally while remaining locally relevant.
