Gas Cylinder Leakage Detection, Weight Checking & Automatic Cylinder Booking System over IOT

Abstract

LPG Cylinder is the most commonly used domestic fuel in daily human life, not only in hotels and homes for cooking but also in several industrial sectors. By this, the demand for LPG usage is increasing rapidly. Meanwhile, this high usage of LPG sometimes leads to gas leakage, which may cause a dangerous explosion. There have been many mishaps due to the detonation of LPG cylinders, and in some of the occurrences, it is due to the laxity of gas leakage. To overcome this, our designed system can help monitor and detect gas leakage. To detect the gas in LPG, an MQ-6 sensor is used, and for any gas leakage that arises, the sensor detects it by making an alert with a buzzer that can help people, and an alert message is sent to the registered mobile number of the user. Another major problem faced by the users of LPG Cylinders is the in-opportune fatigue of gas cylinders. This proposed system will automate the entire LPG cylinder booking course of action without human mediation. This apparatus continuously monitors the weight of the cylinder. Once it reaches the slightest doorstep value, it will automatically send a message to the permitted LPG Agent so that they can dispatch the LPG cylinder in time. This will eventually help the consumer know when to restore the cylinder.
