Abstract: The digital revolution in the mining industry is being driven by the growing applications of IoT. In this research, we focus on one of the most important aspects of mine safety – the development of next-gen smart helmet systems. Imagine a smart helmet that is worn by miners and continuously monitors vital environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and gas levels, but it goes further than simple monitoring. It can also detect if a miner takes the helmet off for any reason or if it becomes damaged due to obstacles inside the mine. This innovative system uses IoT to make a significant improvement in worker safety over traditional methods. With real-time information and hazard alerts, mine operators can proactively prevent accidents and improve overall operations. The collected data can also be used to detect potential hazards and take preventive measures to reduce the risk of accidents and save lives. The development of a smart helmet system marks a paradigm shift for mine safety, ushering in a new era of data-driven decision-making and improved worker protection.
