Iot-enabled Unified Gas Safety Management System

Abstract

Gas Leaks Are A Real Threat—one That Puts Lives, Property, And Industries At Constant Risk. Fires, Explosions, Toxic Exposure, Even Simple Kitchen Accidents Trace Back To Leaks That Go Unnoticed For Just A Few Minutes. The Old Ways Of Handling This—standalone Detectors, Periodic Checks, Or Wired Alarms—just Don’t Cut It Anymore. They Are Slow, Limited To One Spot, And Often Miss The Bigger Picture, Especially In Sprawling Industrial Plants Or Crowded Urban Homes. This Work Introduces A Better Solution: An IoT-Enabled Unified Gas Safety Management System. Here How It Works. Using MQ-series Gas Sensors Linked To An Arduino Nano, The Platform Tracks Hazardous Gases, Monitors Temperature Changes, And Detects Open Flames—all At Once. Everything Happens In Real-time. When Sensors Spot A Problem—say, Rising Gas Levels Or Unexpected Heat—the System Doesn’t Just Beep. It Powers Alarms, Shuts The Gas Valve, Starts The Exhaust Fan, And Instantly Updates The Status On A Local Screen. Meanwhile, All Sensor Readings Get Sent Wirelessly, So Operators (no Matter Where They Are) Know What’s Happening And Can Respond Instantly. Testing This Setup Produced Real Results: It Reliably Detected Gas, Kept Errors Under 12 Ppm, And Triggered Alerts In Just 1.3 Seconds. There Were No False Positives, And The System Stayed Up And Running 100% Of The Time Throughout A 72-hour Test. It’s Affordable, Scalable, And Works Just As Well In A Factory As It Does In A Home Or Store. This Design Gives A Unified Approach To Gas Safety—way Beyond Fire Drills And Manual Checks.
