AkashPankh Systems | Autonomous River Intelligence

Operational Environments

Where we deploy to solve the ground reality.

Industrial Zones

Autonomous sampling at chemical discharge points and hazardous effluent outlets where human access is dangerous.

Urban River Networks

Rapid scanning of pollution hotspots in cities like Varanasi and Kanpur, tracking sewage inlet points with GPS precision.

Inaccessible Tributaries

Reaching upstream sources and flood channels that boats cannot navigate, ensuring complete river system coverage.

INTRODUCING

NEER

An advanced water sampling payload designed to transform any UAV into an autonomous environmental monitoring station.

PATENTED DESIGN

The Blueprint

NEER's proprietary rotary sampling mechanism is design-registered. It features a unique GPS-pump synchronization system that eliminates location drift, ensuring every drop of water is legally traceable to its source.

UNIVERSAL FIT

The Module

Engineered as a modular attachment, NEER integrates seamlessly with heavy-lift UAVs. It houses the precision-engineered rotary chamber that isolates 4 distinct samples, preventing cross-contamination during multi-point missions.

INTELLIGENCE

The Core

Powered by an advanced ESP32 neural core. NEER processes real-time sensor data (pH, TDS, Turbidity) and transmits it via a fail-safe dual-path telemetry system (4G + LoRaWAN) for zero data loss.

The Innovation Core

A proprietary workflow combining robotics, micro-fluidics, and IoT to ensure sample integrity.

Precision Approach

GPS Lock & Hover Descent

Intake & Analysis

Rotary Chamber & Multi-Sensing

Smart Distribution

4-Bottle Rotary Mechanism

Secure Telemetry

Redundant Cloud Upload

01. Evidence-Grade Geotagging

The drone descends to exactly 0.3m - 1m above water level. The ESP32 captures the GPS coordinates at the exact millisecond the pump activates.

Altitude

0.5 m

GPS Accuracy

< 2 m

02. The Rotary Test Chamber

Water enters a custom 300ml rotary chamber. Integrated sensors instantly analyze 6 parameters before the sample is even bottled.

Volume

300 ml

Params

6 Total

03. Sequential Bottle Filling

A stepper motor rotates the inner chamber. When aligned, gravity fills specific bottles sequentially.

Capacity

4 x 250ml

Total

1 Liter

04. Zero-Loss Data Transmission

Dual-path redundancy ensures data safety. GSM for speed, LoRaWAN for range.

Primary

4G/GSM

Backup

LoRa WAN

The Novelty Matrix

Breaking the barriers of traditional sampling with first-in-class features.

GPS-Pump Synchronization

Unlike standard drones, our ESP32 captures the geotag at the exact millisecond of pump activation. This removes "drift error," creating 100% legally admissible location data.

Rotary Anti-Cross Contamination

A stepper-driven rotary chamber ensures the sample is isolated, tested, and bottled without mixing. 4 distinct samples from 1 flight mission with zero cross-contamination.

Dual-Path Telemetry

Failure is not an option. We use 4G/GSM for speed (2-5s latency) and auto-switch to LoRaWAN (15km range) if the network fails, guaranteeing data integrity.

Evidence-Grade Chain of Custody

We don't just collect water; we collect proof. Every bottle is physically mapped to a digital ID containing Time, GPS, Depth, and Sensor Data.

Ground Reality Shift

Transforming water quality monitoring from a manual liability to a digital asset.

The Status Quo

High Risk: Boat crews exposed to toxic effluents and currents.
Delayed Data: 24-48 hours lag between sampling and lab results.
Legal Loopholes: Manual logs can be faked; GPS locations are approximate.
Limited Reach: Cannot access narrow tributaries or industrial pipes.
Single Points: Only one sample per trip due to logistics.

The AkashPankh Way

Zero Risk: Autonomous flight keeps humans safe on the shore.
Instant Action: Real-time alerts sent to ministry within 5 seconds.
Legal Proof: Automated, encrypted GPS stamping prevents tampering.
Total Access: Flies over obstacles to reach source of pollution.
Multi-Sample: 4 distinct samples per mission for comprehensive data.
