Abstract

An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) is a critical component in any high availability system. However, the effectiveness of a UPS depends largely on its battery backup, which must be continuously monitored to ensure that it is working properly. In the past, this monitoring has been done manually or through local monitoring systems, but advances in IoT technology now make it possible to remotely monitor the status of UPS batteries and receive real-time alerts if any issues arise. The proposed system will have several benefits over existing battery monitoring systems. First, it will be fully automated, reducing the need for manual monitoring and minimizing the risk of human error. Second, it will be accessible remotely, allowing system administrators to monitor the status of the battery backup system from anywhere in the world. Finally, the system will be scalable, allowing additional sensors to be added to the network as needed. Nevertheless, physically checking the UPS battery is highly challenging since it requires more money and time. Data center operators, at the centre of the digital economy, are under pressure from several directions. sustaining the highest level of availability at the most affordable level.
