This study investigated the application of an IoT-based real-time monitoring system for managing air pollution control facilities in the tire manufacturing process. The facilities studied included a dust collector, wet scrubber, and exhaust fan, where IoT sensors were installed to monitor key parameters such as differential pressure, airflow, and power consumption. Additionally, a dashboard was developed to visualize real-time data, improving operational efficiency and enabling the early detection of anomalies. By utilizing the dashboard, operational risks in the coordination between the refining process and air pollution control facilities were proactively identified and addressed. This highlighted the importance of seamless integration between production processes and emission control systems. Furthermore, the durability and reliability of IoT devices were validated in real-world environments, such as Geumsan County, which is characterized by exposure to rubber fumes, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations. The application of a pulse pressure gauge to the dust collector's filter improved monitoring accuracy, allowing precise predictions of filter replacement timing and reduced compressed air consumption, contributing to cost savings and compliance with environmental regulations. These findings demonstrate that the IoT-based monitoring system significantly enhances the operational efficiency of air pollution control facilities while supporting cost reduction and compliance with environmental regulations, playing a vital role in advancing facility management.
