About the Lab
The Smart Technology and Internet of Things (IoT) Laboratory supports the development of smart city enabling applications. It is equipped with auto-identification hardware and software like RFID readers/antenna and tags, Real Time Location System (RTLS), Near Field Communication (NFC) devices, Arduino and Raspberry Pi kits with sensors, and ZigBee devices to support developments in the IoT area. The laboratory is also equipped with a programmable conveyor belt for the students to do practices with more real-life situations.
A smart shop is set up in the laboratory to provide an unmanned shop experience and to support the teaching and learning of smart technologies including face recognition, mobile payment, financial technology, artificial intelligence, etc. The smart shop consists of modules for Smart Interactive Map and Advertisement, Smart In-Store Handheld, Smart Rack Shelf Item Display, Smart Hologram Item Display, Smart Locker, Smart Vending Machine, Smart Banking and Smart Cloud-based Point-of-Sales (POS) connected by a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System and IoT technology. There are API sets for the modules in order to allow students to develop their own solutions of one or more modules based on the smart technologies.
