Hazardous environments at the workplace are a significant contributor to injuries due to accidents as well as chronic diseases. There are many occupational health and safety (OHS) systems, but they are costly or not flexible. This paper presents a low-cost OHS. It consists of various sensors that can be used to monitor whether a safety helmet is being worn, the worker is mobile and safety boots are...
There is a persistent problem that continues to be a relevant demand for the chemical, oil, food and pharmaceutical industries, the fouling detection in ducts systems. This work shows the early tests to develop a platform for detecting fouling in pipes and analyze specific locations using the impact hammer test based on a wireless sensor network communication. To minimize the costs of maintaining...
A system for the interrogation of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors using a strain-tuned EDF laser with linear cavity is described. An optical switch is spliced to one end of the laser cavity and connects one of two high-strength draw-tower fiber Bragg gratings (DTGs). The gratings are simultaneously tuned by a stretching device and act as the end reflector of the laser cavity. By applying a ramp...
