Our Solution

SHIELD

Our solution's stage of development:

Pre-Seed

Our solution:

SHIELD– Sustainable Harmonious Intelligent Integrated Energy Ecology Livelihood Development Platform

SHIELD is a multi dimensional, multi faceted and holistic concept to address the highly diverse issues that relate to preservation of our environment based on Climate Change-Energy-Water-Agriculture Mix Model

Our pitch:

SHIELD Platform is based on Climate change –Energy-Water-Agriculture Mix Model offers

 Optimal Utilization of
o Smart Grid Integrated Renewable Energy Model using ‘100 % Renewables’

o Agriculture | Irrigation Systems
o Land Use | Space Use |Water Use
o Infrastructure
 IOT Technologies (including smart sensors, controls systems, internet) tools
 Optimised, Scalable and Replicable Model
 Increase in Efficiencies & Reliability
 Decrease in Environmental Impacts
 Greater insights into the real-time operations and management of Systems
 Better insights into the linkage of:
o Energy supply and Energy use;
o Water Supply and Water Use;
o Agriculture | Food Supply and Use;
o Consumer and Producer behaviours
 Provides better understanding to all the stakeholders –
o Farmers, Technology Providers, system – integrator, policy makers, regulators, Financial institution / investors for informed decisions.
 Provision for Secured Transactions using block chain technologies.

Address SDG GOALS.

The problem:

As per OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), By year 2050, requirement for Energy, Water and Agriculture will go up by 80%, 55%, and 60 % respectively. There are global concerns of how climate change and these energy - water-agriculture challenges can be solved. Need to formulate a solutions which tries to address these challenges and problems defined on the existing NEED’s (pain - points), fast changing policies, social / environmental aspects at regional, national & global levels. Considering the multi-disciplinary & complex nature, there is a need for collaborative approach to formulate transformational and sustainable solutions platform.

Why our solution will solve the problem:

Human-Centered Approach Design Thinking Process tools were used for understanding the requirements, needs and pain points of various stakeholders including Customers, End-Users, Technology Partners, and more important of the Investors. This has resulted in carving out the solution and business models.

Step 4

The technologies we employ:

Consumer-facing software (mobile applications, cloud services)
Digital systems (machine learning, control systems, big data)
Imaging and sensor technology
Management & design approaches
Physics

Why our solution is unique:

SHIELD Platform a multi-disciplinary & multi faceted based on holistic approach which:

1. addresses Climate Change - energy - water - agriculture issues (since all these parameters are inter-dependent)

2. Addresses SDG goals.

3. Optimally designed Mix Models.

4. Minimize Cost -of-"X" where X = Energy, Water, living etc.

5. Maximize Comfort Living Factor | Quality of Life

Why our solution is human-centered:

SHIELD, The concept, while keeping mankind at the centre of all activities brings to fore the key elements that influence his decision and activities. It is our endeavor to understand working mechanism of the Nature and mankind, adopt methods and solutions which are symbiotic and sustainable.

SHIELD is thus the reciprocal arrangement between mankind & Nature to respect each other, provide a protective cover to each other from any imbalance and exploitation. We are trying to use Nature to teach us how to live in Harmony with it.

SHIELD is a result of human centered design thinking approach .

How people will access our solution:

Considering the multi-disciplinary nature of the concept, the solutions will be deployed ON-SITE | OFF-SITE depending upon the required quantum and availability of resources, through technology partners | System -integrators |NGO etc.

Because it is optimally designed LAND | WATER |ENERGY |INFRASTRUCTURE USE, the overall solution is cost-effective then conventional and existing solutions.

Target End-Users \ Communities does not need to pay up-front and pay as per use on monthly basis.
