Demystifying Mining Sustainability Through Efficient And Low Cost IoT Based Safety Implementations

Safety process of any person is major importance in the industries application, particularly in coal mine areas, where numerous accidents occur with minor mistakes and many persons were injured or died or stuck for long time. In this research, we investigate the economical, efficient and sustainable system for the coal miners for improving protection levels. This system synchronizes the multiple sensors that respond various operations. It is also detecting the various parameters for the protection of coal miners including checking whether the miner is alive or not, depth of the minor, pressure upon the minor, the temperature, humidity inside the mines, hazard gasses level, burning fire inside the mine and Geophysical location of the miners inside the mines. An emergency button is also placed to send alert if any uncertain accident occurs inside mines. All these sensed parameters will then send to the control room where it operates and monitor the safety precaution. In case of any disaster maximum lives may retain by setting priority to dig those places first where the miners are alive. The complete system is implemented on a signal wearing jacket and the signal will be transmitted wirelessly usingESPS2 WI- FI module to the IP of router. Arduino will receive the data from sensors which is linked with WI- FI module via serial communication. ESP32 will then transmit the data to respective node and furthermore that node will send the data to the Control Room for monitoring and taking any action if required.
