A BLUEPRINT FOR IOT-POWERED LABORATORY SECURITY SYSTEMS

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm, enabling the seamless exchange of information between interconnected objects through agreed-upon protocols. This interconnectedness extends the concept of networking from the digital realm to the physical world, facilitating intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, and supervision functions. IoT is inherently intertwined with the Internet and sensor networks, particularly wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs consist of numerous sensors strategically placed to detect and transmit data wirelessly, creating self-organizing intelligent network information systems. As IoT technology advances and matures, it presents a promising opportunity to enhance laboratory safety management through the development of IoT-based laboratory security systems.
