Consider how to track tools/machines that do not use electricity/power:
- As team discussed earlier, maybe put a sensor near the door to track when a person enters or leaves
- IR LED and IR Reciever
- PIR Motion Sensor
- Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
- Camera face detection (may need Raspberry Pi)
- Consider whether you need to track if more than one person is in the room of the non-electrical tool/machine
