The mobile application showcased by the company at 'Surakshaayanam' - international workshop on disaster reduction and contingency planning organized by Government of Kerala - can send warning signals to even distant places, if a fissure is found on the surface. The solar-powered wireless system can be used as a mobile application and also as a separate equipment in strategic areas. In case of a major disaster, it is often difficult to find out the details of the victims. A QR code developed by the company can include the entire information about the victims and casualties.{{cite news|title=Dam collapse: Mobile application to send warning |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/dam-collapse-mobile-application-to-send-warning/237871-60-123.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315003959/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/dam-collapse-mobile-application-to-send-warning/237871-60-123.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 March 2012|accessdate=10 March 2012|newspaper=IBN Live|date=10 Mar 2012}}
