Smart Fire Protection System

Abstract

The industrial sector throughout the world it is mandatory to follow the rules and regulations of the of the world is giving importance to public safety more than ever. In USA approximately 100-200 billion dollars (2% of their national annual gross product) are spent annually on systems that are solely designed for the purpose of public safety. Keeping in mind the increasing worldwide demand for safety protocols we started our research to identify the reasons for the majority of casualties occurring in industries. Our research led to the conclusion that fire breakouts lead to most casualties. Smart Fire and Protection System is a prototype model that focuses on solution for a major problem we face today i.e. fire outbreaks in heavily populated industrial complexes and downtown areas of our city. Our project is a complete package which ensures security against fire on multiple levels. The idea behind this project was to solve these problems for our customer at economical price. In our project we are using smoke detectors, RTD, and gas sensors to achieve our goals. Also, the locking mechanism of the main entrance is automated using a proximity sensor. A GSM module is used to send a text message to authorized personnel and appropriate authorities in case of emergencies. Electric locks are placed on the two emergency exits which allow for faster evacuation in case an alarm is sounded. We use PLC to for automation. It’s a cost effective and user friendly project that guarantees security against the major causes of fire outbreaks in industrial sector.
