Digitalization of Gas Detectors Using IoT and Cloud Computing

Many industrial processes produce harmful and poisonous gases and vapors which can burn when mixed with air, sometimes violently. Gas detectors can make a valuable contribution to the safety of these processes. They can be used to trigger alarms if a specified concentration of the gas or vapor is exceeded. This can provide an early warning of a problem and help to ensure people’s safety. However, a detector does not prevent leaks occurring or indicate what action should be taken. It is not a substitute for safe working practices and maintenance. Dusty, corrosive or damp environment will affect the frequency of inspection, maintenance and calibration. This paper presents the role of IoT and embedded technologies to design and development of centralized real time continuous monitoring and alarming system. This system used for detection and measurement of harmful and poisonous gas and for higher level communication and transmission and have been effectively implemented in the Steel Manufacturing scenario in applications which have added value to the Bottom and Top Line of the company.
