Client: EcoStor Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Industry: Sustainable Storage & Logistics
Location: Pune, Maharashtra
Use Case: Smart Lighting Automation using IoT for Energy Savings
📦 The Challenge
EcoStor Solutions, a fast-growing warehousing startup, was facing a common but costly problem: skyrocketing electricity bills. Their 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse operated 24/7, and the lighting system relied on manual switches — often left on unnecessarily during the day or in unused zones.
They needed a cost-effective, scalable, and low-maintenance solution to automate their lighting and reduce power wastage without investing in expensive industrial systems.
🔧 Our Solution
We recommended a PIR sensor + ESP32-based smart lighting solution, enabling motion-triggered lights with remote control via mobile dashboard. Here’s what we provided:
- 📡 ESP32 Dev Boards with built-in Wi-Fi
- 👁️ PIR Motion Sensors for motion-based automation
- ⚡ 5V Relay Modules to control AC lighting circuits
- 🧠 Custom Firmware: MQTT protocol for real-time control and status updates
- 📲 Integration with Blynk App for mobile access
We also provided documentation, circuit diagrams, and virtual onboarding support for their team.
🔄 How It Worked
- Lights turn ON automatically when motion is detected
- After 5 minutes of no movement, lights switch OFF
- Staff can override using the Blynk app (manual ON/OFF)
- All zones monitored and logged via real-time dashboard
- System is modular — more nodes can be added per aisle
📉 The Results
Within just 60 days of deployment, EcoStor achieved:
- ⚡ 40% reduction in electricity consumption
- 🕐 Improved operational efficiency — no manual switching errors
- 🌱 Smaller carbon footprint aligned with their sustainability goals
- 💰 ROI in less than 3 months from saved energy bills
The success led them to deploy the same system in two more warehouses in Mumbai and Nagpur.
