Industrial Safety Monitoring System
An IoT-powered system for real-time hazard detection and accident prevention in industrial environments.
Project Overview
Industrial environments often expose workers to hazardous conditions where manual checks are insufficient. This system ensures workplace safety by continuously monitoring environmental and equipment parameters like gas leaks and high temperatures, providing real-time data and automated alerts to prevent accidents.
Core Objectives
- Continuous Surveillance: To continuously monitor critical safety parameters without interruption.
- Instantaneous Alerts: To alert workers and supervisors immediately in case of detected hazards.
- Accident Reduction: To minimize workplace accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
System Architecture
Hardware Components
- Controllers: Arduino/Raspberry Pi
- Sensors: Gas Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Flame Detectors
- Alert Mechanism: High-decibel Buzzers, LED indicators
Software & Platform
- Embedded Code: Python / C++ for microcontrollers.
- Database: MySQL or Firebase for data logging.
- Remote Alerts: SMS/email notifications via cloud gateways.
System Workflow
The system uses a network of IoT-enabled sensors to monitor parameters like gas concentration and temperature. Data is processed in real-time by local microcontrollers. If any parameter crosses a predefined safety threshold, the system triggers immediate on-site alarms (buzzers and lights) and simultaneously sends emergency notifications to supervisors' mobile devices.
