How We Built a Custom Gas Detection System with Real-Time Alerts for Industrial Safety

Publish Date: Aug 1
0 0

The Problem

We worked with a large-scale manufacturer that manages hazardous gases across multiple production zones. Their legacy system had:

  • No real-time gas leak alerts
  • Manual-only worker incident tracking
  • No mobile visibility for safety teams
  • Difficulty scaling to new factory locations

They needed a customizable, mobile-first, and scalable solution.


The Solution: Modular AIoT Deployment

We co-developed a custom gas detection system using edge + cloud components:

  • Fixed and portable sensors for CO, NO₂, CH₄ detection
  • Wearable tags with fall detection via motion sensing
  • Edge gateways pushing real-time MQTT events
  • Mobile dashboard + alert routing
  • Auto-escalation logic for critical events (voice alerts, sirens)
  • Weekly compliance reports via cloud reporting module

Sensor latency: ~2.5 seconds from detection to mobile alert.


Key Metrics

Metric Result
Zones covered 4
Gas sensors deployed 60+
Wearable tags 30
Daily active users 120+
Response time improvement ↓ 62%
Deployment time ~4 weeks

Engineering Takeaways

  • Edge-side filtering reduces false alarms & saves bandwidth
  • BLE + MQTT stack** enables lightweight, multi-zone design
  • Custom hardware = better sensor layout fit & environmental tolerance
  • Mobile UX increases on-site adoption and supervisor engagement
