A mobile app paired with a device to make doing laundry in student residence more efficient

330 students. 1 common laundry room.

Many times students end up bringing their laundry down, only to find that there are no vacant machines. This is a waste of time and effort. Is there a way to efficiently allocate laundry timings?

We developed a device that determines if a washer/dryer is occupied and the time left in the cycle. This is connected to a simple app that makes the information available and easily accessible to students.
