Title:

Real-Time and Vibration Monitoring System with Wireless Receiver

Value Proposition:

The system consists of wireless sensor (transmitter) units, a receiver unit, and a Python-based server for real-time monitoring of vibration and tilt. Sensors measure three-axis acceleration and inclination and operate in dual modes: high-frequency (up to 10 Hz) with ~2 km range, and low-frequency with extended range up to ~5 km using LoRa communication. Designed for harsh environments (IP-67 enclosure, −20°C to 50°C), the system operates in the license-free 865–868 MHz band in India, enabling long-range communication without internet dependency. The receiver unit supports four channels (865–868 MHz), each accommodating up to 2 sensors (total 8 sensors). Data is stored locally and transmitted to a cloud server via Wi-Fi using REST APIs in JSON format for real-time visualization and analysis.

Summary Application:
  • Snow Avalanche Detection & Early Warning: Detects sudden snow movement, vibration, and slope instability in avalanche-prone Himalayan regions.
  • Landslide & Slope Stability Monitoring: Monitors ground movement and terrain vibration for early identification of landslide activity.
  • Bridge & Infrastructure Health Monitoring: Detects abnormal vibration and structural movement in bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, and buildings.
  • Railway & Highway Safety Monitoring: Provides real-time monitoring of critical mountain roads and railway tracks vulnerable to snow slides and rockfalls.
  • Industrial Machine Vibration Analysis: Detects excessive vibration in rotating machinery for predictive maintenance and fault diagnosis.
  • Remote IoT-Based Environmental Monitoring: Enables low-power wireless sensing and long-range data transmission using LoRa communication in remote areas.
Advantages:
  • Low Power IoT enabled Device.
  • Can be used for avalanche detection, building applications.
  • Use LoRa coomunication to transfer data from sensor to receiver.
  • Multiple sensor unit can be used with single receiver unit.
  • Receiver unit have capability to connect with WiFi and transfer data to server.
