With increase in low cost internet and with advent of 4G technologies increase in internet speed, IoT-based applications are getting more popular day by day and it provides effective solution of many real time monitoring problems. In this research, a cloud based real-time monitoring system for industrial energy meter has been proposed. The prototype system provides continuous and ubiquitous access to energy consumption of the equipment under monitoring to the consumer using IoT technology. To implement the system in any industry it requires a simple and low-cost upgrade to the existing meters rather than complete replacement. Based on the experimental analysis, it is found that from the collected data, it is possible to obtain the pattern of consumption as well as faultiness present in the existing system. In terms of future scope of work, the presented work can also be extended to grid distribution level from which load distributed in the area can be estimated so that the system can be strengthened to enhance performance.
