Real Time Monitoring of Mining and Connected Workers

Abstract: Mining operations are inherently hazardous, requiring continuous monitoring of both environmental conditions and worker safety. This paper presents a real-time monitoring framework that integrates IoT-enabled sensors, wireless communication, and cloud-based analytics to ensure the safety and productivity of connected workers in mining environments. The proposed system captures critical parameters such as gas concentration, temperature, vibration, and worker location, transmitting data to a centralized platform for immediate analysis. Alerts and predictive insights are generated to prevent accidents, optimize resource allocation, and enhance decision-making. By leveraging real-time connectivity, the framework not only improves occupational safety but also contributes to sustainable mining practices. The results demonstrate that integrating smart monitoring technologies can significantly reduce risks, increase operational efficiency, and establish a reliable safety network for workers in complex mining scenarios.
