Infosys iSmart Intelligent power strip: Sensors
The Infosys iSmart power strip is like a normal power strip, but has wireless sensor network technology-based sensors and intelligence built into it using wireless sensor network technology. The power consumption and data from other sensors is transmitted to an application server via wireless or Ethernet. This allows users to view and control the electric consumption of appliances connected to the Infosys iSmart power strip from anywhere using the computer system or mobile device.
This power strip is promoted as energy management device in enterprises and homes. Once deployed in cubicles, the enterprise level energy management policies can be imposed via API's provided by the Infosys iSmart power strip. In addition, multiple Infosys iSmart power strips within a floor or building can communicate with existing building management systems to control lighting and air-conditioning.
In case of homes, a user can control the operation of any appliance as per his needs or based on real time electricity prices. With these capabilities, the power strip makes the infrastructure intelligent and is a key component towards building the "smart grid".
