Otimização de sistemas fixos de combate a incêndios utilizando a Internet das Coisas (IoT): monitoramento remoto e controle bidimensional

Abstract

Technological evolution has enabled the integration of sensors, networks, and mobile devices into fixed fire-fighting systems, promoting greater efficiency and speed in emergency response. Ubiquitous computing stands out for allowing continuous and remote monitoring, as well as decision-making, with potential applications in both industrial and residential environments. The present dissertation, through a practical and exploratory case study, sought to analyze this application by developing a functional prototype. The research used an ESP32 microcontroller to collect data, a bidirectional communication based on MQTT, and a control interface with a dashboard, demonstrating the viability of an autonomous security system that, depending on the events that occur, makes a decision in conjunction with the fire system. One of the main contributions was the development of an empirical validation method for the pressure sensor's calibration, ensuring data precision, and the implementation of a bidirectional control that transforms monitoring into an interactive command center. The study concludes that the application of ubiquitous computing in fixed fire-fighting systems is a promising and necessary alternative, capable of increasing safety, efficiency, and agility in risk situations. In this context, the advancement of digital technologies must be accompanied by maintenance practices, monitoring, and constant updates in search of continuous improvement to ensure the effectiveness of the solutions. Investing in automation, connectivity, and distributed intelligence is, therefore, investing in the preservation of life, the care of property, and the construction of a more efficient and responsible preventive culture.
