This project aims to turn assets such as physical spaces into services using Internet of Things. The use case chosen is a studio that can be used for different activities such as dance/yoga/pilates classes, videography, photoshoots or workshops. The purpose of the project is to automate the workflow of accessing such an asset in order to easily expose it to the public without the need of a constant human supervision.

Problem statement

A person that wants to rent his studio needs to invest:

• time
  • on managing personnel
  • on managing appointments
• money on personnel that handles
  • reception
  • cleaning

Proposed solution

The proposed solution is an environment made from multiples modules designed to work together. The architecture is separated in 5 modules: access control and check-in, infotainment, cloud, application and cleaning. Each module tackle a certain task. For reservations and check-in, the straightforward approach is to create a mobile application. The users authenticate inside the app, book an interval and then receive a QR for access. The booking table is safely stored on a cloud server and is accessible by any user that has the application. The QR code is used later for both studio access and check-in. After successfully scanning the code, the user is authenticated inside the studio via the cloud communication.
