The Crisis
Water monitoring is broken
Low spatial coverage
Monitoring gaps leave vast areas of our waterways unprotected.
Slow response times
Hours or days to detect events is too late for intervention.
High capital costs
Infrastructure-heavy solutions are prohibitively expensive for most regions.
Fragmented data
Disconnected datasets across agencies hinder effective decision-making.
Capabilities
Built for the real world of water
On-Board AI Inference
Advanced AI models for object detection and water-condition analysis run entirely on the pod — no cloud dependency.
Wireless Sensor Mesh
Acts as a mobile gateway, collecting data from fixed and floating sensor nodes during mission passes.
Thermal Imaging
Detects pollution plumes and warm effluent discharge invisible to standard cameras.
Multi-Camera Vision
Stereo and wide-angle cameras provide full 360° situational awareness and depth perception.
Underwater Sonar
Acoustic sensors measure water depth and bottom distance where air-based sensors fail.
Autonomous Navigation
Executes survey patterns autonomously using laser scanning and real-time localizer data.
In-Situ Water Quality
pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and turbidity measured directly and georeferenced to GPS.
4G Telemetry
Global cellular connectivity for live status streaming and remote manual override.
Power-Optimised Architecture
Lean on-vehicle compute keeps missions running for up to 12 hours per charge.
Applications
Where QI gets deployed
River & Lake Monitoring
Continuous autonomous surveys of flowing waters and reservoirs.
Pollution Detection
Minutes-to-detection for contamination events using AI anomaly detection.
EU WFD Compliance
Automated reporting to meet Water Framework Directive obligations.
Cross-Border Waterways
Unified monitoring of transboundary rivers where nations share corridors.
Scientific Research
Repeatable survey data for universities and climate adaptation studies.
Protected Areas
Non-invasive surveys in protected biosphere reserves.
Urban Water Networks
Smart city monitoring for canals and drinking water intakes.
Climate Adaptation
Long-term data for systems under drought and flood stress.
Numbers that matter
Quantifiable improvement in environmental monitoring performance compared to static networks.
