Abstract:
Monitoring the noise in working places is essential to protect the health of workers. There are two main factors that must be taken into account, and thus controlled, when considering noise exposition during the working hours: the level of perceived noise and the time exposed to that level of noise. In industrial environments, these two factors represent a high priority due to the quantity of equipment inside the factory. In this paper, we present a low cost system to measure and monitor noise conditions in an industrial environment. The proposed solution is based on ad hoc wireless probes and a server in the cloud, which acts as a centralized data sink. Specifically, the probes are based on Raspberry Pi 3, while the server may be placed anywhere on the Internet. The proposed system helps to detect critical levels of noise for workers, sending warning messages to predefined contacts by means of a text message or email when hazardous situations occur.
