Overview
Mediscan Diagnostics is a leading healthcare diagnostic center in Kerala, providing MRI, CT Scan, Ultrasound, X-Ray, Mammography, ECG, and laboratory services across multiple locations. As a modern diagnostic healthcare facility, uninterrupted electrical infrastructure is essential for the reliable operation of critical medical equipment and effective Hospital Energy Management.
To strengthen its energy management strategy, Mediscan partnered with Niraltek to deploy an intelligent NTS IoT Gateway integrated with smart energy meters. As part of Niraltek’s IoT-based energy management solution, the gateway serves as the central communication hub, supporting Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and GSM SIM connectivity for reliable data transmission. Its built-in offline data storage ensures continuous energy data collection during network interruptions and automatically synchronizes data with the cloud once connectivity is restored, providing real-time energy monitoring and centralized visibility into hospital electricity consumption.
More than 2 years after deployment, the NTS IoT Gateway and smart energy meters continue to deliver accurate live energy data, demonstrating the long-term reliability and performance of Niraltek’s IoT infrastructure for healthcare facilities.
