About us

A young engineering company solving real problems close to home.

Aqua Shield was started by electronics and communication engineers at CSI College of Engineering, Ketti. Working in the hills of the Nilgiris, we see first-hand how hard it is to find a fault on a long power line or notice when a stream starts to carry pollution.

We build practical, low-cost monitoring systems for these problems: sensors in the field, reliable long-range wireless links, and clear alerts to the people who need to act. Each product line starts from a real need and is tested on real sites.

Our mission

Make infrastructure and natural resources easier to watch over, with affordable systems that tell the right people about a problem the moment it starts.

Our vision

To become a trusted technology partner for utilities, local bodies and industries across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

What we do

Core capabilities

From the circuit board to the alert on a phone, we handle the full chain of a monitoring system.

Embedded hardware

Microcontroller-based devices, sensor interfacing and PCB design built for outdoor use.

ESP32SensorsPCB

Wireless sensor networks

Long-range, low-power links that work across hills and estates without new cabling.

LoRaGSMIoT

Monitoring and alerts

Field readings turned into clear SMS alerts that name the exact location of a problem.

Real-timeSMS alerts

Installation and training

On-site setup, service contracts and hands-on training for field staff and engineers.

Products

What we're building

Each product line uses the same in-house platform of sensors, radio links and alerting, adapted to a new problem.

FLAGSHIP · FUNDED · PROTOTYPE

Smart electric post monitoring

Finds faults on overhead power lines down to the exact post, so electricity board crews go straight to the problem instead of patrolling the whole feeder.

  • An energy-sensing module on every post tracks voltage and current
  • One ESP32 + LoRa node covers a group of four posts
  • A LoRa + GSM receiver at the EB office sends an SMS naming the area and post

Supported by an EDII-TN Voucher A grant. Open to pilot installations with EB sections.

PLANNED

Smart confluence pollution monitoring

Continuous water-quality monitoring at points where streams and rivers meet, so pollution can be spotted early and traced to its source.

  • Built on the same low-power sensing and radio platform
  • Designed for local bodies, environmental agencies and research partners

How we work

From requirement to working system

  1. 01

    Understand

    We visit the site, learn the problem and agree on what success looks like.

  2. 02

    Design

    We choose sensors, radio links and power options, then design the hardware.

  3. 03

    Build and test

    We build prototypes and test them in real field conditions in the Nilgiris.

  4. 04

    Deploy and support

    We install, train your team and keep the system running with service support.
