Solution
In the rapidly evolving landscape of maritime industries, the traditional model of port operations is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Smart ports, driven by innovative technologies, are emerging as key players in enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and security. At the heart of this digital revolution lies LoRaWAN® technology, a wireless communication protocol that is reshaping the way ports operate.
A port operator chose IoSphere to effectively manage and monitor energy consumption.
Increasing energy costs and sustainability targets have led port managers to seek innovative solutions. To overcome this challenge and provide more efficient energy management, a smart energy monitoring system was installed in the port. Steps taken by IoSphere :
Step 1: Integration of Milesight UC100 Control Module
IoSphere uses the Milesight UC100 control module to instantly monitor and analyze energy consumption. UC100 offers advanced features to precisely collect energy measurements, analyze the data, and share it through convenient integration. Energy analyzers placed at different points of the port process the data collected through the UC100 module in digital format.
Step 2: Wireless Remote Data Transmission with LoRaWAN® Gateway
Milesight uses LoRaWAN® technology to collect and monitor energy data obtained from the UC100 control module in a central location. Positioned to cover the wide area of the port, LoRaWAN® gateways collect data wirelessly and transmit it securely to the central IoT platform. In this way, energy consumption data is transmitted to a central panel in real time.
Step 3: Data Analysis and Optimization (IoSphere IoT Software)
The IoSphere IoT platform offers advanced analytics tools to analyze and process incoming energy consumption data. Port managers have begun using data to understand trends and fluctuations in energy consumption through real-time monitoring. These analyzes provided the basis for increasing efficiency and identifying unnecessary energy expenditures. In addition, we can receive instant warnings about energy consumption that exceeds predetermined thresholds and intervene when necessary.
