Design of Device for Industrial Safety and Light Energy Optimization Using FPGA

Abstract

Nowadays industrial security is most important. As the industries has increased the possibilities of accidents are also increased. More manpower is required to take care of the various devices on the plant. Also there is need to conserve the light energy available. In this paper I am going to discuss the a idea of a device which will control the industrial devices as well as the streetlights in premises of industry. The system uses the latest technological components. It offers a complete low cost, powerful and user friendly way of 24 hours of real time monitoring and remote control of industrial devices. The system is based on GSM (Global System for Mobile). It sends a SMS (Short Message Servicing) to the operator in case of emergency. The operator can control the device by sending a SMS or by manually after reaching that place. It also works as automatic and immediate reporting to the fire brigade and police station according to activated sensor to decrease the time required tracking action. The design has been described using Verilog and implemented in hardware using FPGA. For energy optimization we are controlling the streetlights in the premises of industry using LDR and IR sensors.
