The Multi-Sensor Safety System is designed to monitor industrial environments for hazardous conditions. Utilizing force, pressure, and shock sensors, the system provides real-time alerts and takes preventative actions to enhance safety.
-
Arduino (Microcontroller)
- Processes input from sensors and triggers actions like alerts or shutdowns.
-
Shock Sensor
- Detects sudden movements or machinery malfunctions.
-
Pressure Sensor
- Monitors pressure in pipes, valves, or tanks to prevent overload.
-
Force Sensor (FSR)
- Detects applied force to ensure safe interaction with equipment.
-
Relay Module
- Interfaces with high-power systems for emergency shutdowns.
-
Buzzer/Alarm
- Alerts workers audibly in case of hazards.
-
LCD/LED Display
- Displays real-time sensor data and system status.
-
Servo Motor
- Performs physical actions like shutting down machinery or closing valves.
-
Jumper Wires
- Connects components to the Arduino for signal transfer.
-
USB Power Supply
- Powers the Arduino and components for continuous operation.

for hazard alerts.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitors force, pressure, and shock levels.
- Alerts:
- Visual (LED) and audible (buzzer) alerts for hazards.
- Logs hazard details to the Serial Monitor.
- Automated Responses:
- Activates the servo motor to perform safety actions.
- Customizable Thresholds: Configure
FSR_THRESHOLD
andPRESSURE_THRESHOLD
to adapt to specific use cases.
-
Threshold Calibration
- Adjust
FSR_THRESHOLD
andPRESSURE_THRESHOLD
by observing sensor outputs in the Serial Monitor.
- Adjust
-
System Validation
- Simulate hazards to test alert mechanisms and servo motor responses.
- Assemble the circuit as described in the Circuit Setup section.
- Upload the Arduino code to the microcontroller.
- Power the Arduino via USB or an external power supply.
- Monitor real-time data and alerts in the Serial Monitor.
- Add wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) for remote monitoring.
- Integrate data logging for hazard analysis.
- Add a camera module for visual inspection during alerts.
