Inspiration
Newport News Shipbuilding hosted an IoT-based challenge to improve safety in a ship yard.
What it does
When a single wearable sensor detects a hazard, such as air quality issues, it broadcasts a warning to nearby wearables and to a central monitoring service. This allows nearby employees to evacuate the area, and it allows an emergency response team to take action.
How we built it
We built it using WiFi Mesh for the device-to-device communication and traditional WiFi for the central monitoring service communication. Each wearable is an ESP32, and the monitoring service is a Javascript-based web server. The device data is stored in a Google Firebase real-time database.
Challenges we ran into
Communication from the wearables to Firebase.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
All of it.
What we learned
IoT communication and web development.
What's next for Ship Safety
Improve the communication and sensing capabilities.
