Introduction

Piraeus Port, the largest port in Greece, plays a crucial role in international maritime transport, handling over 15 million passengers annually. 

The port faced significant challenges in managing its extensive lighting infrastructure and utility consumption. Traditional methods lacked the technological oversight required for efficient management, leading to high energy consumption and reliance on manual processes. To address these issues, Piraeus Port turned to Tondo for a comprehensive solution.

Challenges

The port’s street lighting and utility management were complex and inefficient, primarily due to the lack of real-time data and automated control. Without technological management, the infrastructure could not provide critical information on energy consumption, grid quality, or fault detection. Additionally, the manual measurement of electricity and water consumption by ships increased operational inefficiencies and the potential for human error.

Solution Overview: Tondo Cloud IQ, Tondo Edge IQ Smart Lighting, and Tondo Cabinet IQ Energy Analytics
