    MQTT protocol

    Adafruit library

    Client Overview

    The Client is one of the biggest Indian conglomerate with businesses across India engaged in multiple sectors

    Challenge

    The Client used manual method of monitoring the transformers where physical visits were required at scheduled intervals. Hence, they wanted a solution for predictive maintenance of the Transformers & their monitoring with real-time data for any issues.

    Solution

    Q3 team provided an IoT based transformer monitoring system for checking the health parameters in a real-time and alert the concerned people through an e-mail/SMS.

    • Microprocessors and Embedded module at the transformers’ end was used for capturing different parameters of temperature, oil level, current, etc.
    • Sensor values were transmitted to the IoT Cloud platform through a WiFi network
    • MQTT protocol & Adafruit library was used for communication between sensors and IoT Cloud platform

    Outcome

    Real-time monitoring of transformers
    Alerts & notifications confirming issues
    Significant reduction in maintenance turn-around-time
