Wireless monitoring and control of deep mining environment using thingspeak and XBEE

Abstract

The possibility of remotely monitoring and controlling the deep mining environment using Raspberry Pi is studied in this paper. The use of sensor and thingspeak to get the sensor data in the web and to obtain its graph in real-time is explored. Then the controlling of the raspberry pi with the help of XBee communication and remotely controlling by computer is studied. This is done for the moisture level control by using relay and pump as an example. This can be extended to other type of sensors which are of relevance in the deep mining environment and for internet of things applications. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
