IoT-Enabled Systems for Smart Monitoring of Mining Operations

Abstract

Mining operations achieve real-time monitoring transformation through Internet of Things (IoT) that improves operational and environmental safety as well as organizational efficiency. The study focuses on developing a superior WSN-based IoT system that utilizes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to monitor smart mining operations. WSNs enable continuous monitoring of vital operational indices like air quality and temperature delivery standards together with equipment operational status and safety guidelines for personnel. The system utilizes LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology since it enables power-saving remote communication that suits extensive underground mining operations. Predictive maintenance and operational analysis benefits occur through analysis of sensor data sent to a cloud platform which enables real-time assessment. The monitoring system leverages cutting-edge communications technology to reach superior safety results for workers and enhance operational decisions and reduce equipment failures.
