The Implementation of Internet of Things at the Theatre Foundation

This research was directed at investigating the viability and consequences of employing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions at a theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa – a widely visited theatre with significant obstacles in relationship to aging infrastructures, ineffective resource utilization, and low audience ship. The objective of this research was to assess the applicability of IoT adoption to solve these operational challenges and at the same time improve performance, security, and sustainability by making use of technology and infrastructure used in theatres The study outlines areas of the theatre’s operation that can be redesigned and its benefits of using IoT which includes facility management, security, and audiences and evaluates the level of technological sophistication needed to apply IoT to those areas. This strategy recommends a gradual implementation process relevant to the course the theatre must operate considering the costs, maximum expansion capacity, and prospects for growth. Therefore, through IoT solutions, through this research, the theatre should manage to improve on the utilization of the resources to the audience, and the general productivity of the theatre, hence increasing its sustainability and its ability to adapt to change. This can be done using the Internet of Things Evolution. Even though the study is conducted directly with the Theatre, it elaborates on how IoT can be implemented to organizations with similar issues all over the world and the Usage of IoT in Theatres.

Abstract

This research was directed at investigating the viability and consequences of employing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions at a theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa – a widely visited theatre with significant obstacles in relationship to aging infrastructures, ineffective resource utilization, and low audience ship. The objective of this research was to assess the applicability of IoT adoption to solve these operational challenges and at the same time improve performance, security, and sustainability by making use of technology and infrastructure used in theatres The study outlines areas of the theatre’s operation that can be redesigned and its benefits of using IoT which includes facility management, security, and audiences and evaluates the level of technological sophistication needed to apply IoT to those areas. This strategy recommends a gradual implementation process relevant to the course the theatre must operate considering the costs, maximum expansion capacity, and prospects for growth. Therefore, through IoT solutions, through this research, the theatre should manage to improve on the utilization of the resources to the audience, and the general productivity of the theatre, hence increasing its sustainability and its ability to adapt to change. This can be done using the Internet of Things Evolution. Even though the study is conducted directly with the Theatre, it elaborates on how IoT can be implemented to organizations with similar issues all over the world and the Usage of IoT in Theatres.
