Client Overview
Client: Seoul Store
Industry: Commercial & Retail
Location: Andhra Pradesh, India
Solution Deployed: Commercial Energy Monitoring System
Hardware: 5 Intelligent Energy Meters & 1 NTS IoT Gateway
Deployment: Multi-Floor Building Energy Monitoring System
Overview
Seoul Store is a multi-floor commercial retail building in Andhra Pradesh that houses a supermarket, restaurant, and multiple retail businesses within a single facility. Managing electricity consumption across different floors was becoming increasingly challenging, as the management lacked centralized visibility into energy usage.
To address this, Niraltek Solutions deployed a Commercial Energy Monitoring System by integrating five intelligent energy meters with a centralized NTS IoT Gateway. The solution enables real-time, floor-wise electricity monitoring through a single cloud-based dashboard, helping the facility management team improve operational visibility and make data-driven energy decisions.
The NTS IoT 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 uninterrupted energy data collection and automatically synchronizes data with the cloud once connectivity is restored.
Project Objective
The objective was to establish a Commercial Energy Monitoring System capable of tracking electricity consumption across multiple commercial floors while improving operational efficiency and simplifying facility management.
The project focused on:
- Monitoring electricity consumption floor-wise
- Connecting multiple energy meters to one gateway
- Providing real-time energy visibility
- Eliminating manual meter reading
- Supporting centralized commercial building management
- Improving energy reporting and operational transparency
Business Challenges
Before implementing the solution, Seoul Store experienced several challenges in managing electricity consumption across its commercial facility.
Lack of Floor-Wise Visibility
The supermarket, restaurant, and other commercial floors operated independently, making it difficult to identify which areas consumed the highest amount of electricity.
Manual Energy Readings
Energy consumption was monitored through manual meter readings, resulting in delayed reporting and increased operational effort.
Limited Energy Insights
Without real-time monitoring, the management team had limited visibility into daily electricity usage and could not quickly identify unusual consumption patterns.
Centralized Facility Management
Managing multiple commercial businesses within one building required a unified monitoring platform that could provide accurate floor-wise electricity data from a single interface.
Commercial Energy Monitoring System Solution
Niraltek implemented a Commercial Energy Monitoring System by installing five intelligent energy meters across the supermarket, restaurant, and other commercial floors. All meters are connected to a single NTS IoT Gateway, creating a centralized platform for real-time electricity monitoring, historical reporting, and floor-wise energy analysis.
The deployed solution included:
- 5 Intelligent Energy Meters
- 1 NTS IoT Gateway
- Floor-wise Electricity Monitoring
- Real-Time Energy Monitoring Dashboard
- Historical Energy Consumption Reports
- Centralized Cloud Monitoring Platform
- Automated Energy Data Collection
This architecture enables continuous monitoring of electricity consumption across the supermarket, restaurant, and other commercial floors while providing a unified operational dashboard for facility managers.
Solution Architecture
The Commercial Energy Monitoring System was designed using a scalable Industrial IoT architecture that connects distributed energy meters to a centralized monitoring platform.
Edge Connectivity Layer
The NTS IoT Gateway serves as the central communication hub by collecting electricity data from five energy meters and securely transmitting it to the cloud platform.
Energy Monitoring Layer
Five intelligent energy meters continuously measure electricity consumption across different commercial areas, enabling accurate floor-wise monitoring without manual intervention.
Central Monitoring Platform
The cloud-based dashboard displays live electricity consumption, historical trends, and floor-wise comparisons, allowing management to monitor the entire building from a single platform.
Analytics Layer
Interactive reports transform energy data into meaningful operational insights, helping identify consumption trends and improve overall building energy management.
Key Capabilities
Floor-Wise Energy Monitoring
Each commercial floor is monitored independently, providing complete visibility into electricity consumption across different business operations.
Real-Time Energy Monitoring
The Commercial Energy Monitoring System delivers live electricity data from all five intelligent energy meters, enabling facility managers to identify abnormal energy usage, respond more efficiently, and improve floor-wise operational visibility.
Centralized Energy Dashboard
All five energy meters are connected through one gateway, allowing complete building monitoring from a single dashboard.
Historical Energy Analytics
Daily and monthly energy trends help management analyze consumption patterns and support better operational planning.
Smart Building Energy Management
The centralized platform improves energy visibility and supports data-driven decision-making for commercial facilities.
Implementation
The Commercial Energy Monitoring System was deployed through a structured implementation process with minimal disruption to daily business operations.
Phase 1 – Site Assessment
Niraltek evaluated the commercial building layout and identified strategic locations for floor-wise energy monitoring.
Phase 2 – Energy Meter Installation
Five intelligent energy meters were installed across the supermarket, restaurant, and other commercial floors to capture accurate electricity consumption data.
Phase 3 – Gateway Integration
All energy meters were integrated with a single NTS IoT Gateway, enabling centralized communication and real-time cloud connectivity.
Phase 4 – Dashboard Configuration
The monitoring dashboard was configured with live visualization, historical reporting, and floor-wise energy analytics for facility management.
