BENEFITS OF USING SMART GAS MONITORING SYSTEMS IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY USING INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS

Abstract

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the use of Internet of Things technologies to transform manufacturing and industrial processes. Also known as “industry 4.0”, Industrial IoT integrates big data and machine learning technologies to harness the sensor data, M2M communication and Automation technologies. The world has been rapidly adapting smart technologies and connecting everything, which implies everything. To provide the greatest quality service to its consumers, many establishments such as hotels, canteens, and enterprises use flammable gases such as LPG, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and others. The usage of these gases has undoubtedly made technologies smarter, but it also comes with a risk aspect that poses a threat to human life. As a result, safety becomes a major concern. As a result of this element, a gas detection system was deemed necessary in such accident-prone areas, allowing for continuous monitoring of any form of leakage, regardless of human senses.
