        abstract = {As commercialization advances, new Intelligent Management System (Smart Laundry) is being developed for IoT and industrial automation applications through advancements made in IoT design and development. The objective of this paper is to outline an Industrial IoT-Smart Laundry System designed to automate washing machine operations by monitoring all machines remotely, allowing centralized billing for washings and providing real time updates of wash cycles.This proposed laundry system uses ESP32 microcontrollers along with various sensors (current, water level, and temperature) to monitor the various operations of all laundry machines via washing machine cycles.The laundry system will use Firebase Cloud Services for real time synchronisation of database records and for remote access to user information via an internet connection, while also providing a real time web dashboard to monitor laundry machine status, cycle progress, user management, and an automated calculation of payment amount due for laundry usage. Each washing machine has been modified to include an electronic locking mechanism and use a network of sensors to monitor the overall safety of the machine and to keep an accurate log of usage history.The architecture of this proposed laundry system is scalable, thus it can connect a number of washing machines to one payment gateway; however, the proposed laundry design will include other capabilities such as SMS notification of laundry completion, laundry machine fault detection, real time analytical data collection to provide for maximum efficiency in operation and reduction of manual labour and increase of user convenience through scalable and flexible laundry system deployment architecture. Experimental results of the proposed laundry system should show increased operational efficiencies, reduced need for manual labour during operation of the proposed laundry system, accurate and automated billing of payments due to users who use the laundry system and increased overall convenience to users of the proposed laundry system.},
