Background
Different types of pollutants are released at various times throughout the mining process. While mining, the miners often wear masks, but when they gather at the portable offices, dangerous contaminants could also get inside along with the ventilation air from outside. The microclimate inside the portable offices may expose the workers to heavily polluted air, negatively impacting their health and productivity. In this situation, Milesight delivers a solution to measure the air quality in mining portable offices, which could guarantee the workers breathe in air with good quality and ensure their health.
Challenge
- Unable to Know Air Quality in MiningPortable Offices Off-site
Only when workers arrive at the portable offices readied for the meeting can they determine the indoor air quality which is already too late.
- Limited Network Coverage
There is always a lack of network connectivity in the mining area. Deploying a wired network also costs a lot of money and takes a long time.
- Inconvenient Power Supply
Always being in remote locations, mining sites are a sign of inadequate power supply. The deployment of many devices that require electricity is not practical.
- High Cost
Measuring the pollutants of the air quality normally needs numerous sensors for different metrics resulting in the high cost of sensors, which also generated inconvenient installation.
Solution
The Milesight Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Sensor is ideal for the situation to address the aforementioned difficulties. AM319 9-in-1 IAQ sensor can not only detect the temperature and humidity indoors but also can measure the PIR, light, carbon dioxide, TVOC, barometric pressure, PM2.5 and HCHO/O3 in real time. By collecting the data of IAQ, the sensors transfer it to the gateway via LoRaWAN® technology. With UF51 5G CPE installed in the mining area, the information of air quality in mining portable offices can be sent to the Milesight IoT Cloud from the gateways. By the use of Milesight IoT Cloud, workers can check the status of IAQ devices outside the offices at any time and realize remote control through a few clicks on the laptop or phone. What’s more, Milesight IoT Cloud can automatically turn on the ventilation devices to adjust the ventilation rate based on the preset trigger threshold. Thus it is achievable for workers to improve the air quality in mining portable offices before they get in.

Benefits
- Improvement of the Health of Workers
With the help of IAQ Sensors, workers can easily know the air quality inside the portable offices to open the ventilation system and air purifying filter, thus avoiding breathing toxic air dangers.
- Enhancement of Energy Efficiency
No need to open the ventilation system all the time due to the event trigger function of Milesight IoT Cloud. The ventilation equipment can be turned on automatically once the IAQ data reaches the preset threshold.
- Convenient Remotely Monitoring
Compared to traditional sensors to detect indoor air quality in mining portable offices, Milesight 9-in-1 IAQ sensor is able to monitor 9 elements of air. Additionally, with the help of LoRaWAN® technology, workers can check the IAQ status at any time anywhere.
- Easy Data Visualization
Milesight IoT Cloud not only enables workers to check the IAQ in real time but also allows the administrator to achieve massive device monitoring and management.
- Solid Network Coverage
Based on LoRaWAN® technology and Milesight 5G CPE, wide and steady network coverage is covered to guarantee the efficiency of data transmission.
