1) What are smart offices?
In simple words, a smart office is a workplace that uses technology to assist employees in working more efficiently and productively, irrespective of whether they are working remotely while connecting with the office or working in the office itself. Similarly, smart consumer technology learns, analyses and adapts to the changing needs of the consumers. The smart office largely uses connected technology and analytics in order to ensure that the workplace is well-equipped to serve the specific needs of employees.
2) Are smart offices the future of the workplace?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and The Internet of Things (IoT) are making internet-enabled devices a common feature of workplaces, because of which smart technologies have gained even more importance in the pandemic to support employees who are communicating via a virtual platform. As a result, digital workplaces have completely transformed, and IoT has taken the lead to ensure that every aspect of a workplace is functioning optimally. Now, businesses have access to a complete set of tools that provides them with a novel perspective of their offices and workplaces.
Therefore, smart offices are the clear future of the workplace as they permit businesses to tie up their data to a specific location while offering various benefits like responsive comfort score, enhanced data, operational efficiency, enabled automation and more.
