Industrial smart power control using LoRa network

Abstract

Industries are revolutionizing everyday as we step into industrial 4.0 with enhanced and smart technologies ruling every micro hub. The Information Technology industry is running with thousands of employees at once needs more power management system. The proposed system identifies the entry of any person at the entrance. The identified person’s cabin or workspace power is turned on with simpler but efficient way of communication as LoRa module is used. The person is face recognized with the assistance of cameras at the entrance and their ID is transmitted to the Distribution box controller where the Air conditioner and other local supplies are automated to be turned on meanwhile. An employee’s ID and his position in the industry are matched in the industry with distribution box control which is reprogrammable. This LoRa WAN network is used effectively with gateways to transport less data to longer range as the system deals with large network. The end node of this network is fitted with energy meter and localized controller to calculate the power consumed as well control the appliances, which also gives a leverage of using implementing this at home.
