Abstract
This project presents the design and implementation of a real-time health monitoring
system for pressurized vessels, based on strain gauges and data gathering. The main
objective is to improve industrial settings' safety and dependability by providing early
structural failure detection and continuous monitoring, which averts catastrophic mishaps.
Using the Arduino Cloud IoT platform, the project makes use of the Arduino Uno R3
microcontroller and the ESP8266 WiFi module to provide cloud-based monitoring and
remote data transmission. With this configuration, strain data can be visualized and
analyzed in real-time, offering crucial information on the structural integrity of
pressurized vessels. The use of BF350 strain gauges and a strain gauge amplifier module
guarantees that precise data is collected, analyzed by the Arduino, and wirelessly
communicated via the ESP8266.
The report's layout leads the reader through the project's evolution while emphasizing how
important it is to solve the shortcomings of both conventional and cutting-edge monitoring
techniques. While advanced approaches are prohibitively expensive and need specialized
knowledge, conventional techniques frequently rely on manual inspections and periodic
maintenance, which can miss important flaws. This project provides a workable and
scalable solution for industrial applications by utilizing widely accessible and affordable
technology. The study, which showcases the system's efficacy in real-time monitoring and
its potential to enhance industrial safety and operational efficiency, is divided into parts
that address the project's objectives, methodology, results, and discussion
