Background
In the production, storage, or operating environments of medium- and large-scale enterprises in sectors such as catering, chemical plants, gas stations, steel mills, and animal husbandry, there is a risk of leaks of toxic, hazardous, and combustible gases such as CO, SO₂, SO₃, NH₃, and CH₄. Traditional gas detection devices often provide only local audio and visual alarms, making remote centralized monitoring and coordinated control impossible. This creates blind spots and lags in safety management. Enterprises urgently need to develop a combustible/toxic gas monitoring system that integrates real-time monitoring, remote alarms, and intelligent linkage to proactively prevent and mitigate major safety incidents.
Client Requirements
- Collecte de données
Real-time collection of gas concentration data from distributed gas sensors is required.
- Warning/Alarm
1) Establish a graded alarm mechanism:
2) Notify relevant personnel remotely via text message, phone call, or other means.
- Operations/management
Technical Solution
IOTRouter provided the EG8200Mini edge gateway and the IoTRouter Cloud platform for Combustible/Toxic Gas Monitoring System, providing strong technical support for enterprise data collection, protocol conversion, data transmission, remote control, and visual analysis.
Flammable/ Toxic Gas Monitoring System Architecture:
Deploy multiple gas sensors in gas-risk areas (such as near kitchen stoves, chemical tank farms, and livestock barns), then use the EG8200Mini gateway as the core edge data collection unit to interface with the sensors. Pair this with local audio-visual alarms and connect via 4G/Ethernet to the IoTRouter Cloud IoT platform. When gas concentration in a specific area reaches the high alarm threshold, the platform can automatically trigger devices such as activating exhaust fans, closing emergency shut-off valves, or activating sprinkler systems to prevent explosions, fires, or poisoning incidents.
Data Flow Description:
1. Collection:
Using the EG8200Mini's RS-485 interface and Modbus RTU protocol, real-time concentration data from each gas sensor is polled and collected.
2. Processing:
The EG8200Mini gateway has built-in edge computing capabilities, enabling it to filter raw data, perform unit conversions, and determine whether levels exceed predefined thresholds. If thresholds are exceeded, the local audible and visual alarms are immediately triggered.
3. Transmission:
Processed data is transmitted to the cloud IoT platform via 4G network encryption using the MQTT/HTTP protocol.
4. Analysis:
The cloud platform stores, analyzes, and visualizes the data, triggering corresponding remote alarm.
Advantages and Value
After the combustible/toxic gas monitoring system was put into operation, the alarm response time was shortened from an average of more than 30 minutes to less than 1 minute; the safety accident rate caused by gas leakage dropped by more than 90%.
