Abstract
This paper focuses on the safety of the gas industry. We discuss the overall safety management system designed to reduce risks to both the work environment and workers. There are important features of this system such as real-time updates on gas leakage, a gas level indicator displaying the gas level and constant monitoring and communication with a centralized location. The method presented in this study is an integrated system with Internet of Things (IoT) developed with a web application and emergency management system. As a result, this system gives quick responses without exceed 200 milliseconds. Additionally, the system utilizes the AWS EC2 cloud hosting platform for communication and storage purposes.
Keywords: gas leakage system, microcontroller and IoT cloud platform, valve control system
