Project Overview

Problem Statement

Industrial accidents due to gas leaks, fire, and air pollution are rising in Bangladesh. Traditional safety inspection methods are time-consuming, risky, and reactive.

  • Increasing industrial accidents in Bangladesh
  • Time-consuming traditional inspection methods
  • Risky working conditions for inspectors
  • Reactive rather than proactive safety measures

Our Solution

We built a quadcopter drone equipped with gas sensors, flame sensors, and dust detectors that can fly into hazardous environments, detect issues early, and alert authorities via mobile communication.

  • Quadcopter drone with multiple sensors
  • Early detection of hazards
  • Mobile communication for alerts
  • Access to hazardous environments
