Whether it’s personal or professional, the Internet of Things continues to affect our lives. They can be in your face or subtle, but they exist and they’ll help change your life in a lot of ways.
Here are the main ones to keep in mind.
- Connectivity
There’s no need to operate devices manually any more thanks to the IoT. All you need is one device, such as your cell phone or tablet, and you can control everything you connect to it. That means setting the atmosphere for a marketing shoot will take a millisecond in the future, as will editing footage.
- Productivity
A direct knock-on effect of more connectivity is a reduction in time-wasting. Thanks to the ability to control more devices in one action, there’s no need to wait for results. By asking Alexa to tell you the weather or to play music, you won’t have to mess around with your phone. The commands are almost instantaneous, making you more productive as a result.
- Cost-Saving
Running a business is expensive as there are lots of bases to cover and not many ways to tell if your actions will be successful. IoT levels the playing field through predictive analytics and real-time diagnostics. These enable companies to lower the costs of maintenance and boost their bottom line.
- Safety and Security
By connecting multiple security devices, you can monitor different areas of the workplace at once to prevent everything from theft to trips and falls. Also, increased awareness of workplace issues should allow you to resolve them promptly and limit any damage.
