Development of an IoT-based smart energy management system for industrial applications

The traditional approach to energy meter reading is a antiquated practice that is plagued by inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and unnecessary expenses. The costs of manual meter reading are invariably passed on to consumers, adding to their financial burden. Smart energy meters offer a viable solution, but the astronomical cost of replacing existing meters with new ones poses a significant hurdle. However, this paper proposes a innovative solution that leverages the power of IoT technology and Raspberry Pi devices to transform legacy meters into smart prepaid meters without the need for costly replacements. This ground breaking approach enables remote meter monitoring, mobile app control, automated notifications, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure. By harnessing the potential of IoT, this solution revolutionizes energy metering, making it more efficient, convenient, and cost-effective for consumers.
