IoT based Coal Mine Safety Monitoring and Alerting System using Robotics

The country’s coal mines are a vital part of the economy since coal is a key ingredient in the steel and cement production processes, which in turn extract iron from rocks and produce cement. It is imperative that all parameters, including methane gas, high temperatures, fire occurrences, etc., be monitored on a regular basis in the underground mining industry. Workplace safety must be strictly enforced in coal mines because of the wide range of tasks carried out there and the inherent complexity of the mining environment. In response to this, a system is in place to keep an eye on gas leaks, temperature and humidity levels, and fire sensors, among other fundamental safety precautions, in coal mines. The sensors are integrated into one unit and subsequently positioned within a coal mine.
