Monitoring the Utilization of Dump truck in Coal Mines Using Internet of Thing (IoT)

Now a day's due to increase in the power demand and to meet the requirement of the coal around the world a challenging situations arise in field of coal mine. In order to reduce the operating cost and to enhance the productivity of the coal mines, it is indeed necessary to monitor the operation of dump truck and to log the payload data carried by dump truck during each haul cycle. This paper proposes a cost effective method to remotely monitor the location and the productivity of dump truck during each haul cycle using internet of thing (IOT). This system utilizes pressure sensor, payload monitoring system with RS232 (Serial bus communication) and CAN compatible. The GSM/GPRS unit transmits data to remote location for monitoring the operation of dump truck and to enhance the productivity of coal mines by properly utilizing the dump truck during shift hours.
