IoT is here,
at its full pace! The technology, apart from automating several home appliances
and processes will also play a key role in usage-patterns, fitness, and anti-sedentary
campaigns at work places.
When
implemented smartly, the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) will
palpably change the people’s life at office. There are facility-managers and
architects who have now begun to recognize the possibility created by the implementation
of IoT at workplace. A lot of things -- from lighting fixture to a desk drawer
-- have possibility to be added to a portfolio of IoT aimed at the automation
of the processes and procedures at workplaces.
In fact, the changes are already underway. Here are three examples for how
the technology of IoT is contributing in making of modern workplaces and
offices.
IoT enabled
sensors to make smart office
It has always been tough to regulate proper temperature and light at
workplaces; particularly in those areas which are large ones; where office
population works on diverse locations at any given time. Letting temperature
controller systems work even at those locations where there is no one will, of
course, increase the cost of running operations. Now think of smart-office
sensors which keep scanning different locations at large work-place for their
usage-patterns to adjust temperature and lights to not only to make environment
more suitable, but for also to control cost.
IoT can also help the fitness and anti-sedentary campaigns at a workplace. For
example, sensors can detect if particular occupant has been too still for too
long; it can send the person an alert over his/her wearable device or computer
that it’s time for stretch break.
IoT enabled tele-presence
technology
Tele-presence
isn’t new technology but the mobility has made it further simpler. The mobile
technology has made collaborating tele-presence with robots to put a new spin
on the face meeting experience.
These are self-guided
robots which can easily simulate in-person meeting and can automatically
navigate in office space to personally meet employees at their desk. Once the
meeting is over, the robot will automatically come back for charging dock or
move on to next work schedules. The remote user, whom the robot is presenting,
can also control the robots from any location in the world.
IOT for making
workplace more organized and better
The technology of
the Internet of Things can be implemented to a lot of things at a workplace;
such as from overflowing trash bins to elevators to coffee makers to washroom,
which are looking for cleaning and maintenance, and so on…
