# An Internet of Things Model for Improving Process Management on University Campus
## 4 Discussion  
Similar studies focused on productive sectors such as manufacturing or agriculture have considered the potential of the IoT. In smaller environments, IoT is applied to home automation by combining technology to generate automated and comfortable environments. However, there has been very little experience in the educational field and even less in learning. This is a topic that is currently

In addition, it is the task of academia to research topics such as the one developed in this paper. It is under these conditions that, in this work, technology has been adapted to a university environment. It has been pointed out that the communication and infrastructure technologies generally used by universities are similar in terms of their architecture. This work has great value because it indicates that the method used in the university under consideration can be considered a generic architecture that can be deployed in any type of university. The deployment of the IoT carried out in this work does not include a consideration of a method of data storage and analysis. However, the findings converge with those of previous works where the concepts are complemented to the point that it is possible to discuss intelligent environments. The concept of intelligent environments depends largely on the ability of the user to analyze variables and make decisions efficiently and effectively. However, the first line that answers all the problems that require data analysis is the monitoring and acquisition of data through the IoT. It is here that this work is of great importance and becomes the cornerstone of a whole process such as the one mentioned. It is important to note that there are currently devices whose manufacturers offer accommodation in public clouds where even data analysis is performed. These solutions are not acceptable in a university context due to the importance of having centralized data in the university's own infrastructure. The centralization of the data guarantees the location of the data and its security, while for the students, it expands their knowledge in terms of being able to visualize how they are generated and treated in a private cloud environment. Having all the resources necessary to meet the needs of the university available to the university has allowed us to solve problems such as physical and resource security. Previously, the university under consideration has increased its budget considerably to guarantee the internal and external security of its facilities. The use of the IoT has reduced these costs, and people have seen their work improve by avoiding repetitive tasks or those that are considered to be of little value. This has given a boost to security specialists, who have seen how their work now focuses on the use of technology which leads to constant training, which opens up the possibility of continuous improvement. The IoT is the ideal assistant for tasks that are framed to facilitate processes, so that both teachers and students develop in environments that are ideal for the generation of knowledge. The processes that involve the inclusion of the IoT have aroused great interest in the learning environment and the results have generated greater interest and acceptance regarding the use of IoT devices in academic areas. Another area that has welcomed the potential of the use of the IoT and this model in particular is the generation of content, and the integration of technology and learning that has resulted in m-learning. M-learning facilitates the construction of knowledge, problem-solving, and the development of diverse skills and abilities autonomously and ubiquitously, thanks to the mediation of portable mobile devices.
