Abstract
THIS CONFERENCE PAPER REVIEWS THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS THAT INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) COULD BRING TO BRAZILIAN TAILINGS DAMS. THIS IS DONE THROUGH A QUALITATIVE REVIEW OF AVAILABLE LITERATURE AND STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGIES. WHILE SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES HAVE EXISTED AS SOLUTIONS FOR TAILINGS DAMS FOR MANY YEARS, IOT GREATLY REDUCES THE COST OF DEPLOYING, MONITORING, MAINTAINING, AND GAINING INSIGHT FROM THESE SENSORS. ADDITIONALLY, IOT REMOVES THE NEED FOR MANUAL DATA COLLECTION FROM SENSORS, ENABLING THE MONITORING OF TAILINGS DAMS FROM MILES AWAY AND THE USE OF NEW SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES.
This conference paper reviews the possible solutions that internet of things (IoT) could bring to Brazilian tailings dams. This is done through a qualitative review of available literature and state of the art technologies. While sensor technologies have existed as solutions for tailings dams for many years, IoT greatly reduces the cost of deploying, monitoring, maintaining, and gaining insight from these sensors. Additionally, IoT removes the need for manual data collection from sensors, enabling the monitoring of tailings dams from miles away and the use of new sensor technologies.
