Time by time as we are stepping into a new digital world. We are noticing a gradual change in the work environment. Especially when the world came across a covid pandemic, many changes have become the new normal. One of the most common changes this time is converting to work-from-home mandates and new digital workplaces having a significant impact. But this impact in workplaces is all possible cause of IoT technology.
2. What Is IoT In The Workplace?
• Time by time as we are stepping into a new digital world. We are
noticing a gradual change in the work environment. Especially when
the world came across a covid pandemic, many changes have
become the new normal. One of the most common changes this
time is converting to work-from-home mandates and new digital
workplaces having a significant impact. But this impact in workplaces
is all possible cause of IoT technology.
• IoT in the workplace can involve a variety of smart devices, sensors,
robots, and artificial intelligence, to improve efficiency and create
new business prospects. These workplaces aren’t just rooms; these
smart devices like sensors connect to create a smart office. They aim
to create a safe, connected assessment management & productive
environment for employees.
3. What are the
advantages of IoT in
the workplace?
• Improved Productivity
• Firstly IoT can simplify almost half of the
hectic workflow & can improve
productivity in the office.
• Rather than filling out back-to-back
paperwork like reports related to the
office, employees can update HR from a
mobile app all because of centralized
data.
• You can manage tasks like booking
conference rooms, dialling between
conference calls, and updating the
workflow calendar at your fingertips
without breaking a sweat with the help
of smart assistants
• A.I smart technology & robotics in the
workplace give employees more time to
do their primary job duties. According to
a survey, workers spend only 44 % of
their time on their primary duties,
mainly
4. Improved Work Environment
• Smart HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning) and lighting systems can play a
vital role in creating a healthy employee
environment.
• Smart thermostats can adjust the
temperature, keep everyone comfortable,
and link to building HVAC to control different
temperature zones. They can be controlled by
voice or by an assistant like Alexa or Siri.
• Smart lighting can learn users’ schedules with
a motion sensor & dim when natural lighting
is low. These bulbs adjust the brightness and
prevent users from eye strain.
5. Eco-friendly Work
Environment With Low
Operating Expenses
• As IoT technology gives us more
control over every aspect of the
workplace, from lighting to
temperature, you can minimize
unnecessary usage of energy.
That helps you keep focusing on
the task ahead rather than
getting distracted from your
company’s goals.
• An energy reduction can reduce
your utility cost rather than
hiring a janitor who can
sometimes be risky in the case
of security services. They can
also be relatively costly. Your
office can save some money and
maintain cleanliness with a
robotic vacuum.
6. Track Employees &
Performances
• When it comes to tracking
employee performance and
monitoring their workflow, are
they slacking off during work or
knowing their exact location
within the company
premises. Smart IoT employ
monitoring tools not only
provides you services like
locating and monitoring people
on site but also let you
effectively manage employee
productivity, tracking
equipment, visitor access, and
real-time attendance
monitoring.
7. Maintenance
Update
• IoT can improve how you lend
and track devices like laptops,
smartphones, tablets, and
projectors. The bigger the
workplace is, the double
workload is. Therefore, it is
crucial to check out the health of
devices. If any of them break
down, it can slow the workflow
performance. So by installing IoT
sensors in such devices, you can
monitor performance and help
predict the breakdown of
necessary details like
maintenance issues. The tasks
can be managed conveniently
rather than at an instant
notification.
8. Conclusion
• As everything is said & done in the end, we can come to the conclusion that as
time passes by. It is becoming more and more obvious that shifting to IoT in the
workplace is an essential need. As we observe above, the IoT provides us with a
better, healthier, reliable, and more convenient way, less expensive way of
running any workplace whether it’s an office or a building.
