Intelligent Power Monitoring (i-POM)

Power failure is a major problem in big industries such as automotive industry, electronics industry, food industry and many more. When equipments or machines fail to operate, it often leads to downtime which may interrupt the production rate. This phenomenon can cause losses to the companies. Thus, Intelligent Power Monitoring (i- POM) can be considered as the viable solution for the downtime problem due to power failure. This paper will focus on reducing downtime problem using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communication) Modem communication system. Using this technology, power failure can automatically detect
and send related information directly to the relevant authorized persons' (electrician) mobile phone in a systematic manner. There are two essential pieces in this i-POM, which comprises hardware and software.
