Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

SHEDDING A LIGHT ON
STREETLIGHT METER TESTING
2. INTRODUCTION
This presentation will discuss the current usages and challenges for
streetlight metering and the latest in testing/qualification of streetlight
meters.

3. STREETLIGHT METERING—WHY CHANGE?
LED’s
LED’s have swept through one
industry after another over the
past twenty five years. Once
LED’s are developed for a
particular application they take
over that industry in just a few
years
tescometering.com 3
4. LED’S START TO TAKE OVER
A Better Solution
• Better lighting of the pavement surface
• Light is better directed so there is less
light pollution
• Less maintenance
• Longer Life
• Less energy consumed
• Ability to control the lighting load by
individual light or bank for
– more suitable use given the
location and time of day
– emergency situations
tescometering.com 4
5. STREETLIGHT METERING—INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
Streetlight controls:
• Standard photocell operation
• Advanced controls for holiday lighting, billboards, etc.
• Remote mesh network communications
• Scheduling and dimming (LED Lighting)

7. STREETLIGHT METERING—INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
Integration of metrology into streetlighting
• Metrology (metering function) integration into “nodes”
• Combining metrology with remote access gives utilities access to information that
they may never have had before.
• Read voltage, current and power factor from each node.
• Determine changes in lighting element faults and poor operation.
• This information can be used to determine lighting outages (and dispatch a
service truck automatically).
• Can be used to monitor general outages like
residential meters are now.
tescometering.com 7
8. STREETLIGHT METERING—INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
Energy metering today:
• .5%, 1%, and 2% metering capabilities are now being
quoted
• Qualification and validation documentation very sparse.
• No complete ANSI regulation to guide qualification
testing, though a committee has formed and a spec is
being developed (C136.50)
tescometering.com 8
9. STREETLIGHT METERING—INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
Energy metering today:
• Without the type of qualification testing that metering
groups are used to doing prior to rollout of new vendor
equipment or technology, billing usage for these nodes
has been rare.
tescometering.com 9
10. STREETLIGHT METERING—INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
Using metrology to do energy metering
• A utility may want to test the accuracy of the nodes and
work with local municipalities to determine whether the
variance in billing due to metering accuracy could still
provide better consistency and more accurate billing
than current fixed billing algorithms can provide.
tescometering.com 10
12. STREETLIGHT METERING—CHALLENGES
Testing Challenges
• Meter test pulse
Without this pulse, most nodes only report whole watthours through
their communications radios. Testing requires 10,000 Wh (in order to get
5 significant digits – 100.00%). 10,000 Wh at 120V and .25A (typical Light
Load value) would take 320 hours
– C136.50 is now requiring a pulse for every street light “meter”. Testing can
now be done in “conventional” time periods.
tescometering.com 12
13. STREETLIGHT METERING—CHALLENGES
Testing Challenges
• Meter setups
• The setup on each node must be checked to make
sure that it is not setup to do any scheduled
dimming, or scheduled on/off control, so that
the output relay remains on during the testing.
• After testing is complete, the setups should
be returned to the factory settings before
releasing the node.
• Working to introduce to C136.50 the
concept of test modes for street light meters.
tescometering.com 13
14. STREETLIGHT METERING—CHALLENGES
Testing Challenges
• Functional / Communication testing
• This testing is going to be quite similar to standard revenue
meters, as the communications networks used are either the
same, or similar to what you are used to.
• One difference would be that if the utility is using scheduled
on/off/dimming, that program will have to be setup or
downloaded to the node before releasing for installation.
tescometering.com 14
15. STREETLIGHT METERING—CHALLENGES
Testing Challenges
• Conclusions
• A Test Mode will make testing of streetlight meters easier and
more consistent to perform in a meter shop environment.
• The testing will all be more equitable for all manufacturers and
users once the ANSI specification is released.
• Relevant testing both for accuracy and functionality can still be
done in light of the above; it will just take longer and could be
somewhat subjective
tescometering.com 15
17. STREETLIGHT METERING IN THE METER SHOP
Equipment Needed:
• Test Boards
• Mounting sockets
• Transformer Rated
applications
• Field Test Equipment
• Meter Farms
• Meter Socket Adapters
tescometering.com 17
18. NEGATIVE BUSINESS CASE
OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY?
A large investment by Electric Utilities for less
revenue
• When the market place wants something there is no wisdom in
trying to hold back the flood gates. Embrace and figure out how
to not only survive but to thrive.
• Smart Poles
• Additional Lighting
• Controls for the Lighting
• Potential new products for Industrial Customers
• Potential new products for residential customers
…..but also an investment in future Business Opportunities
