UniCal - Automation & DevOps

Geolocation and accuracy: the pillars of Smart Campus

In order to equip UniCal with a tool that was effective in contact tracing, but was also very simple so as to ensure widespread, everyday use, we designed and developed the Smart Campus app, a true platform dedicated to classroom and facility access monitoring and contact tracing and available in web-app and mobile app versions.
Smart Campus' features are not limited to tracking movements and contacts, but allow students to view information on classrooms used for educational activities, detailing total and, in pandemic time, reduced capacity. The app also shows, in real time, the availability of seats and allows students to reserve their place to attend classes of interest by choosing from within the list of courses in the app's menu. An automatic message tells students the status of the reservation: confirmed, pending confirmation, declined.
The only action required of students is to check in and check out via the app by scanning QR codes placed near entrances and inside classrooms to properly record attendance at classes.
Smart Campus' anti-contagious system is very accurate and records movements, dwell times, and proximity between people. In case of positivity, the app itself automatically sends an alert to those responsible indicating the names of potential infected people.
