Abstract

The concept of smart campuses has emerged from the wave of information technology and the Internet of Things, with its unique value increasingly highlighted in the field of education. After long-term technological advancements, such as innovations in sensor technology, widespread applications of cloud computing, and in-depth big data analysis, smart campus management has become a focal point of attention in the education sector. Smart campuses represent not only a conceptual innovation but also a profound transformation in the educational environment. The development of IoT technology has enhanced the role of sensor networks and environmental controllers in campuses, acting as the "nerve endings" of the campuses, maintaining real-time communication with the management center. This article introduces how to efficiently build an IoT-based campus management system using local software. It also explains how to utilize digital twin technology to develop virtual campus models for quick simulation and analysis of campus operational behavior. This approach provides support for management decisions and encourages educational innovation. With the advancement of the system and the implementation of digital twin technology, the future educational environment will become more intelligent, efficient, and humanized. Smart campuses will evolve into ideal places to nurture future societal elites.
