INDUSTRIAL VISIT TO LINX PET HOTEL

On 14 July 2023, a group of students (Bachelor of  Software Engineering (Honours)) and lecturers of Faculty  of Computing and Software Engineering, led by Md.  Norahima Annuar, the Industry and Community  Engagement Coordinator, had called on Linxpet, a  luxurious pet hotel situated at LOT 374, BLOCK, 10, Lorong  Palm, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak. The purpose of the  industrial visit was to enable students and lecturers to  observe closely the application of Internet of Things (IoT)  in this unique hotel designed primarily for cats. Usually  associated with smart home or factory applications, Mr  Raymond, the owner of Linxpet, awed the faculty  members with interesting use cases like: allowing pet  owners to video call their beloved cats residing in their  private rooms equipped with web cams, smart lighting  and temperature control to ensure utmost comfort for  the cats, as well as a paperless registration, check-in and  other administrative tasks like securing entrance and  round the hour monitoring, all available at the ease of a  tap on the mobile phone. As a result, Linxpet has earned  the trust of pet lovers in Kuching and it is franchising its  business with its ingenious application of IoT.
