Abstract

In this paper we are implementing surveillance, safety measures for mine workers which is most essential in underground mining areas/sections. Here we are presenting MEMS based sensors network used to monitor the environment parameters of underground mine area and sends all sensed parameters/data to the PLC( Programmable Logic Controller). Gas sensor is used to detect the gas found underground. The vibration sensor is used to detect the vibrations .Vibration above a particular level would be assumed as a problem in the mine which would actuate the lift and provide timely help to the workers.
