Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) has witnessed substantial to have significant potential in monitoring and management of high-risk environments, and Safety industries. In the past decades, urbanization and industrialization have been expanded in the area east of the Gulf of Suez increasing health and safety issues. Attentions increasingly were paid to monitoring and management of these hazards that affect human health. One of these major health hazards in industrialization areas is a fire hazard. Besides, this background, the present research developed an internet of things (IoT) based safety model to provide real-time monitoring of fire monitoring and management. Accordingly, a multifunctional monitoring platform in the present work was developed for reducing fire hazard levels in the Ras Gharib area, Egypt. The integration of the programmable logic controller with supervisory control and data acquisition will be implemented for controlling the operating parameters of the firefighting system. Furthermore, the developed model not only identifies real-time fire hazard problems (i.e., near misses or reduced fire accident rates) but to stores the digital database to improve the system itself. Our finding indicates that developing systems for comprehensive network communication based on online management and information tracking devices and technologies would improve and monitor the firefighting system
