Risk Management Using Raspberry Pi and Sensors

Industries have been a key part in the growth of a nation's economy. The growth in industries has also lead to the growth of tragedies in the past decades, out of which majority caused by oversight or Human errors. This paper discusses a risk management system to detect hazardous gas leaks and the increase in temperature from the set value (or critical temperature) using a raspberry pi, MQ6 gas sensor and DS18B20 temperature sensor. Appropriate measures are taken by the raspberry pi such as switching on the exhaust fans, signaling alarms and alert notifications via an android application in a smart phone, with respect to the situation to minimize the risk of life and property.
