Leveraging Wireless Sensor Networks for Real-Time Monitoring and Control of Industrial Environments
Summary: arXiv:2510.13820v3 Announce Type: replace-cross
This research proposes an extensive technique for monitoring and controlling the industrial parameters using Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on wireless communication. The proposed system utilizes NRF transceivers to establish a robust Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), facilitating the transfer of real-time data from multiple sensors to a central setup driven by ARDUINO microcontrollers.
Key Features of the Proposed System
The system is designed to monitor various critical parameters essential for industrial setups, including:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Soil Moisture
- Fire Detection
These parameters are displayed on an LCD screen, allowing factory administration to oversee industrial operations remotely via the internet. This capability addresses the shortcomings of traditional wired communication systems, effectively eliminating the necessity for physical presence in monitoring tasks.
Remote Control Capabilities
In addition to real-time monitoring, the system offers the functionality to remotely control these parameters. For instance, it allows users to control the speed of DC motors through online commands. This dual functionality not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly contributes to safety measures within industrial environments.
Significance in Industrial Safety
Given the rising incidence of industrial fires worldwide between 2020 and 2024, attributed to various hazards, this system plays a crucial role in boosting overall operational safety. The integration of IoT and WSN facilitates rapid responses to emergencies, including the activation of firefighting equipment. Such innovations in wireless communication are pivotal for advancing industrial process automation and safety.
Conclusion
This study highlights the transformative potential of IoT-enabled systems in revolutionizing monitoring and control across various industrial applications. By providing enhanced productivity and safety, the proposed system not only mitigates the risks associated with physical monitoring but also paves the way for more intelligent and responsive operating environments.
In summary, the integration of Wireless Sensor Networks and IoT technologies represents a significant step forward in industrial management, ensuring that industries can operate more efficiently and safely in an increasingly complex and hazardous environment.
