One of the components of the facility is the adoption of IOT sensors to monitor the temperature, PH level, light intensity, and flow of water and is analysed using data analytics to provide early warning, automation and real time monitoring. This component is a collaboration between SBC and the Faculty of Computer Science and IT, UNIMAS.
