SMARTMINE GUARDIAN: AN IOT-DRIVEN SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND MINES

Abstract

The IoT-based coal mine monitoring system is meant to improve safety and environmental monitoring in underground mines by constantly checking important factors like temperature, carbon monoxide (CO) levels, seismic activity (earthquakes), and fire dangers. The system uses an Arduino microcontroller and sensors such the DHT11 for temperature and humidity, CO gas sensors, seismic sensors, and fire detectors to interpret real-time data and make sure that dangerous situations are found quickly. Alerts are sent out locally via buzzers and LCD screens. IoT connectivity makes it possible to monitor and send alerts from afar, giving you rapid access to important information on web platforms. This smart technology is powered by a regulated power supply and helps miners and authorities by giving them accurate and timely environmental data. It also speeds up emergency response times, lowers the danger of accidents, and makes mining safer
