Effectual Industrial Hazardous Parameters Detection and Automatic Shut Off System

Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT) enabled technology is helping industries and workers build a safer environment than ever before. Therefore, this paper proposed the use of various sensors and automation systems using IoT to protect workers in extreme environments. This paper introduced the uses of an AT-mega 328 Arduino Uno board that will be connected to Bluetooth module (HC-05) to accumulates the temperature and humidity value from the DHT-11 sensor, methane, and other natural gases concentration using MQ-4 and MQ-2 sensors as well as one smoke detector (MQ-135) and update it into the online database using Nodejs. These sensors can also be used to send a realtime alert notification to an authorized person of the industry through Whatsapp or SMS service. For monitoring as well as controlling purposes, one website is created and hosted using hypertext markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and javascript (JS) that will help to provide an actual essence of IoT. The system can also trigger an evacuation alarm using a buzzer when fire or smoke is detected by the smoke detector or when a gas leakage is detected. It also uses a safety shutdown solenoid valve which includes the emergency shutdown of valves if gas leakage is detected through the pipeline.
