Automatic Office Environment System for Employees Using IoT and Computer Vision

The present need of the world demands automation and the ease of work. Getting inspired from various home automation projects, this project article deals at inculcating the automation in the offices. The article aims at accomplishing the task of an automatic attendance system for the employees using face recognition and Amazon Web Services like S3 and QuickSight, and also adjusting the opening-closing process of the doors using the face recognition results. It also aims at triggering the electrical appliances like lights and fans of the office by detecting the movement of the people in the office. The article also describes the webserver wherein all the appliances of the office as well as the AWS and login based attendance of the employees can be accessed. All the sensors, cloud services and the face recognition algorithm are interfaced with the Raspberry Pi, that is used as a central unit in this project. This system, proposed to make an office smart, can be a good model for implementation at various government, and private offices and can be implemented at schools, colleges, and similar organisations as well.
