Abstract

Glass manufacturing Industries deal with very high temperatures, as the molten material has to solidify to form a perfect glass. Even a small variation in any of the requirements will lead to failure of the desired glass work. A seamless power supply is a major requirement for the glass manufacturing industries. They use diesel generators in addition to grid supply, to power their workstations because the grid power supply is unreliable. Manual monitoring of diesel level in diesel generators is always a daunting task and can also lead to manual errors. Remote monitoring of these sites can reduce the amount of time spent on routine visits especially for diesel refills and can completely eradicate the occurrence of manual errors. This project proposes design and implementation of a remote diesel level monitoring system with an automated fire extinguishing system using wireless sensor network. The diesel level is to be sensed and transmitted wireless using ZigBee to a remote base station for processing and analysis. The system can be made secure by providing an automated fire extinguishing system, as the chances for fire accidents are high in diesel generators, as diesel is highly inflammable. The system can alert its officials by sending SMS using a GSM system. Alert can be given using different languages as an industry is a place where people speak different languages at work. Thus monitoring of diesel level in glass manufacturing industries with an automated fire extinguishing system can be done.
