Unmanned Shop Laboratory: An Extensible and Scalable Research, Teaching and Learning Smart Space System : Project S-SHOP@TMIT in Response to Emerging Challenges for Hong Kong Smart City Development

In response to the smart city blueprint proposed by the Hong Kong government, an "unmanned shop" laboratory was built by students, teachers and industry supporters at the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tuen Mun) campus. The laboratory incorporates several latest technologies, such as the Internet-of-Things (IoT), Financial Technologies (FinTech), and provides a seamless working experience to users in various production stages. The system used in the laboratory is highly modularized, in which the system is fully extensible and scalable to be used by other smart spaces in other campuses and testing sites.
