Automation of Town Boarder Station

In SNGPL the flow of gas is manually controlled but the main issue is that we cannot get the accurate result. Some issues remain when a person changed the pressure manually. So, we have to send another person to counter-check. By using our engineering knowledge, we have a solution to this problem.

Project Summary

In SNGPL the flow of gas is manually controlled but the main issue is that we cannot get the accurate result. Some issues remain when a person changed the pressure manually. So, we have to send another person to counter-check. By using our engineering knowledge, we have a solution to this problem.

In this modern era, people want to control everything through the internet. Most industries are trying to convert their old systems into IoT-based systems. So that they can control the working of their machinery through the internet with less or no effort. They want to automate their system so that they may remain updated with their system performances. That is why we chose to work on a project called "Automation of Town Border Station".

In this project, we are trying to control the regulator valve of the SNGPL Gas station through GSM Module and the android app. You can control the pressure of gas using the android app at any time and anywhere. You can also remain updated about the progress and information of the station through messaging alerts. The android app will also show you the data of the SNGPL station.

The main features are listed below:

• IoT-Based
• Gas Pressure Control
• Remote Monitoring
• More Reliable

Reduced man error chances 

Project Objectives

The deliverables of this project are:

• IoT-Based System
• DataBase
• Web Server
• Android and Desktop App
• Automation of system
• Gas pressure control
• Remote monitoring 
• Efficient system
• Reliable system

The main object of this project is to reduce human error and human workload. The system can be remotely controlled and the user will remain up-to-date with this automated system. In this modern era, people want to put in little effort and want more output. So, this is where this type of system come in handy.

Project Implementation Method

We will implement our project in small steps. These are the followings:

1. Literature Review:

We will study literature related to our project to find new methods to solve the problem.

2. Circuit Investigation:

We will study different circuit diagrams to check whether we can achieve our goal or not.

3. Upgrading Circuit:

If there is something to replace/use in the circuit to make our system more efficient, we will use that replacement.

4. Arduino Coding:

In this section, we will do some research on some coding commands that will be helpful in our project.

5. Use of modern tools:

In this section, we will make sure to use advanced components or tools for our project.

6. Implementation of IoT:

In this section, we will study how to connect a system to a database, Android and desktop app to remain updated about the progress of the system.

7. Achieve Accuracy:

In this section, we will try to modify our system to get a high accuracy rate. (If necessary)

Benefits of the Project

Benefits of the project are:

1. It requires less or no manpower
2. The system will be controlled remotely.
3. By doing automation the system, the system will be remotely controllable.
4. The gas regulator valve is controlled by a motor,
5. We can achieve good accuracy.
6. No human presence is required at the station.
7. We will be updated 24 hours a day.
8. The system is remotely controllable and we can control it through android and desktop apps.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

This project basically consists of 3 main sections. These sections are:

• Hardware
• Software
• DataBase

In Hardware:
We use Motor Driver, DC. Gear Motor, Pressure Sensor, Arduino, Pressure Gauge, and GSM Module along with some side components like capacitors, resistors, switches, etc. in our project. A pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure value at the inlet and outlet sides of the pipes. DC gear motor speed and directions will be controlled by the motor driver who adjusts the inlet and outlet pressure of the system which further control the gas regulator valve to adjust the outlet pressure of the system. The pressure sensor reads the data and sends it to the controller (Arduino) of the system which further sends the data to the server. GSM module will be used to send information through text messages to the admin or the manager who manages the system.

In the Software section, we will make an android app and a Desktop app through which one can control the pressure of the system and will remain updated all the time with the progress of the system. The user of this app can use this app while traveling and will remain updated about the system's progress. All the previous records of the system will be saved on the server for later use.

In the database section, we will make a database that will store the data. It will get data from Arduino.
