Case Monitoring for Secondary Battery Transfer with Enhanced Fire Prevention and Stability

The use of batteries today is constantly growing. Therefore, it is crucial to safely charge and manage usable and trash batteries. In this paper, a case monitoring system is designed for secondary battery transfer with enhanced fire prevention stability. A microprocessor and ESP32-CAM (video streaming and face recognition with Arduino IDE) equipped with a Wi-Fi module were installed to enable remote monitoring in real time. In addition, the system was constructed by connecting a temperature and humidity sensor for case environmental monitoring, an infrared flame sensor that can detect flames when a flame occurs, a gas sensor for detecting gas, and a GPS module that can check the transfer path of a powder fire extinguisher and a waste battery in real time. This system is connected to the Wi-Fi or LTE network of the carrier (aircraft, ship, and truck) where the transport case of the waste battery is loaded, so that real-time GPS data and images in the case of flames are transmitted to the telegram messenger in real time.
