Revolutionizing Power Management for MSMEs with IoT Integration and Predictive Maintenance
Courant: Revolutionizing Power Management for MSMEs with IoT Integration and Predictive Maintenance using Isolation Forest and LSTM Algorithms is a progressive web application that monitors power consumption and provides data-driven insights to MSME owners. Designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and prevent equipment damage, it features remote device management, real-time alerts, and AI-powered predictive maintenance.
Courant operates with EDMER devices, IoT hardware where appliances are connected to measure consumption and detect anomalies. On the MSME side, users can register accounts, link devices, profile appliances, monitor energy use, receive maintenance insights, generate reports, and access system support. For super administrators, the platform provides account management, device whitelisting, energy-saving content, and configuration tools.
Evaluated by 50 respondents spanning MSME owners and licensed IT, ECE, and EE experts under ISO 25010 standards, Courant achieved an overall mean rating of 4.52, validating its reliability, functionality, and effectiveness in addressing MSME energy management needs.

Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) face significant initial hurdles in adopting advanced power management systems, beginning with foundational challenges in utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT). The primary issues include:
Difficulty in securely registering and linking IoT devices to web applications, creating barriers for many MSMEs.
Limited value from raw data without proper appliance profiling and contextual analysis for meaningful insights.
Lack of systems to predict electrical faults, forcing businesses into reactive rather than proactive maintenance models.
Enable MSMEs to register and create business accounts through our registration module
Allow device linking through our IoT device identification module
Provide appliance profiling capabilities for better energy tracking
