Focus on outlining a clear and scalable architecture that integrates both temperature sensing and social distance measurement functionalities. Start by identifying the key hardware components required, such as temperature sensors (e.g., infrared sensors) and distance measuring technologies (e.g., ultrasonic sensors or LiDAR). Discuss how these components will communicate with a central processing unit, possibly using a microcontroller or single-board computer. Consider data transmission methods (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) for real-time monitoring and alerting systems, and address how you would ensure data privacy and security. Finally, think about the user interface for warehouse managers to visualize the data and respond to alerts effectively.
