ESP8266 LoRa-based Safety and Communication System for Underground Mining

The ESP8266 LoRa based safety and communication system for underground mining presents an innovative solution designed to enhance safety protocols and communication efficiency in the challenging environment of underground mining operations. Leveraging the ESP8266 microcontroller and LoRa E32 (Long Range) communication modules, this system integrates a suite of sensors and modules to comprehensively monitor and safeguard miner’s well-being while optimizing response capabilities during emergencies. The system incorporates various sensors such as the pulse rate sensor for continuous cardiovascular health monitoring, Temperature Sensor for fever and overheating detection, Gas Sensors (e.g, CO, CO2, Methane) for identifying harmful gases, Oxygen Level Sensor for ensuring a safe breathing environment, and an Accelerometer, and Gyroscope for tracking movement, orientation, and detecting accidents or hazardous situations. Additionally, Environmental Sensors (e.g., Humidity, Pressure) ensure a comfortable and secure working environment. By amalgamating state-of-the-art technology with a focus on safety, health, and real-time communication, this system aims to significantly mitigate risks associated with underground mining, thereby safeguarding the lives and well-being of miners while optimizing operational efficiency.
