Overview

This project was developed to monitor and optimize energy usage within a laboratory setting. By leveraging real-time data from smart plugs, this system provides insights into energy consumption patterns, enabling the lab to manage resources effectively.

Key Features

  • Real-time Energy Monitoring: Smart plugs connected to lab equipment send energy consumption data to the backend, which is then visualized on the frontend.

  • Dynamic Data Visualization: Energy usage is displayed through interactive charts using ChartJS, allowing users to track consumption trends over time.

  • Automated Data Update: Python scripts fetch data from the smart plugs at regular intervals and update the MySQL database, ensuring up-to-date information is always available on the frontend.

  • Alerts & Notifications: The system can send alerts if energy consumption exceeds set thresholds, enabling quick action to manage usage.

Mission

The aim of this project was to create a responsive, easy-to-use platform for laboratory personnel to track and analyze energy consumption, with a goal of promoting energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary power usage.

Impact

The Energy Monitoring System helped Nakayama Iron Works achieve a measurable reduction in energy consumption by identifying peak usage times and suggesting operational adjustments. It enabled the team to make data-driven decisions, ultimately contributing to cost savings and improved sustainability efforts.
