Monitoring of gates through LoraWan devices.
This project involves the development of a door monitoring system for compressor plants using Node.js, LoRaWAN devices, and the MQTT network.
The system is designed to monitor the status of doors in compressor plants. It uses LoRaWAN devices attached to each door to detect and report their open or closed state. These devices are chosen for their long-range capabilities and low power consumption, making them ideal for this application.
The core of the system is a Node.js application. This application receives data from the LoRaWAN devices, processes it, and updates the door status in real-time. Node.js is chosen for its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, which makes it efficient and lightweight, perfect for handling the data from multiple devices simultaneously.
The system uses the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) network protocol for transmitting the data from the LoRaWAN devices to the Node.js application. MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency networks, making it an excellent choice for this system.
This system provides real-time monitoring of doors in compressor plants, improving security and operational efficiency. It allows for quick response to any unauthorized door openings, and it can also provide valuable data for analyzing usage patterns and optimizing operations.
Future enhancements to this system could include integrating it with an alert system to send notifications when doors are opened, adding more sensors for additional monitoring capabilities, and developing a user-friendly dashboard for easy viewing and analysis of the data.
