Cloud Network (SCCN), MIT-WPU would deploy Internet of Things (IoT) and Big
Data Analytics (BDA) through a cloud-based dashboard for real time monitoring
of campus utility production and consumption patterns. The cloud platform will
enable connectivity to other campuses in India and worldwide to compare and
generate positive competition to better the resource efficiency. The network
would provide information on real time monitoring data about its energy
consumption with capability of advanced analytics.
Dr Milind Pande, Project Director MITSOT, said that being a
Digital India Initiative this smart initiative will generate enormous interest
amongst students as they readily embrace new technologies.
