IoT based Framework for Smart Campus: COVID-19 Readiness

Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in connecting everything together and to the Internet through specific protocols for information exchange and communications. It helps in achieving use cases such as intelligent recognition, location, tracking, monitoring and management. For large organizations, the focus is on developing smart campuses or leasing them which are sustainable and provide user experience. Sustainability focuses on being carbon neutral, energy efficiency, water usage reduction, green energy requires the IoT based implementation to deploy new projects and use cases. This paper presents a five layered Framework helping in implementing the sustainability leveraging basic ecosystem. It integrates the new use cases towards the connected ecosystem and responding to requirements quickly. These large campuses are replica of smart cities and multiple technological innovations in new technologies such as IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) is leveraged in bringing the ecosystem together for implementing applications and making the campuses smart and efficient.
