GasGarda:
A real-time gas monitoring platform

MOBILE APP | ADMIN PANEL| IOT

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

GasGarda is an IoT solution designed to prevent gas-related accidents. Imajine was hired to develop the platform, which monitors gas levels in real time and shuts off gas delivery when dangerous levels are detected. The system ensures the safety of property owners, utility companies, and first responders.

THE CHALLENGE

Gas leaks pose serious risks, including fires, explosions, and loss of life or property. Traditional monitoring systems often lack the automation and reliability to prevent such incidents.

GasGarda aimed to create a system that not only detects gas leaks but also actively prevents disasters by automatically shutting off the gas supply and sending real-time alerts to stakeholders.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

Design process

The design process focused on creating a user-friendly system that integrates hardware and software to monitor, control, and shut off gas valves when necessary.

User flow and system requirements definition

This phase focused on defining user roles (utility companies, installers, administrators) and establishing the data flows between sensors, gateways, and the central system​​.

UI Design

Designed dashboards and mobile interfaces for all stakeholders, including administrators and installers, to manage networks, view alerts, and control gas valves​​.

OUR SOLUTION

Imajine designed an IoT platform for GasGarda that integrates real-time gas monitoring with automatic shut-off mechanisms. Using AWS IoT Core for cloud management and MongoDB for data storage, the system allows utility companies to manage networks, monitor gas levels, and respond to alerts via web dashboards and mobile apps​​.

Feature highlight

Automated Gas Shut-Off

The system shuts off gas supply when dangerous gas levels are detected, preventing fires and explosions​.

Real-time monitoring and alerts

The system monitors gas levels constantly, sending alerts to property owners, utility companies, and emergency services​.

Centralized dashboard for utilities

Utility companies can manage devices, monitor gas levels, and respond to incidents through a web dashboard​.

Mobile installer app

Installers use a mobile app to quickly set up and register devices, making field deployments faster and more efficient​​.

Redundant communication

Maintains communication between gateways to reduce downtime​.

Multi-sensor support

Supports different gas types, including methane and carbon monoxide​.

Custom alerts

Alerts can be customized based on gas type or location​.

Gateway failover

Backup gateways take over if the main gateway fails​.

Valve status monitoring

Tracks the position of valves (open/closed) and reasons for closure​.

Historical data storage

Stores gas levels and system actions for analysis​.

QR code scanning

Sensors and controllers can be registered by scanning QR codes​.

Additional sensors

Can include other sensors like seismic or flood detectors​.

Remote firmware updates

Allows for firmware updates over the air to all connected devices​.
