Each and every day new gadgets are being made that can alter the way that we do business. However, the problem is that we do not always hear about these gadgets, so we don’t know the advantages that they bring. To try and enlighten business owners out there, here is a list of 6 gadgets that can improve your day-to-day operations at your business.
- Energous WattUp – The only thing better than that wireless router you currently have in your office would be a wireless router that also charges your devices. That is exactly what the Energous WattUp does. Using a combination of Bluetooth, RF, and some stuff of its own, it charges devices within a 15 foot range, prioritizing those that are the lowest on battery. Don’t just settle for getting the internet in your office anymore – do it while keeping all of your other gadgets fully charged.
- Ring Video Doorbell – If you want to add a little security to your office, this gadget can help you out. This doorbell records wide-angled HD video, so that you can see who is at the door, and it sends that image to the cloud server. And just in case someone decides to knock rather than ring the doorbell, this gadget comes with a motion sensor. If some of your employees are worried about the security of the office, install this doorbell-camera combo and give them some piece of mind.
- Brinno TimeLapse – Construction Camera – While this gadget is mostly intended for construction sites, you may be able to find some other uses for it. This gadget records activity going on outside – it’s waterproof – for up to two months, then condenses the video down to around 2 minutes. This gives you a great time lapse video, that is an excellent way to show off your construction project.
- Bluetooth Barcode Scanner – When it comes to businesses with a physical location, you will want to be sure you are able to process checkouts efficiently. With a Bluetooth Barcode Scanner, like one from the POS retailer Accupos, you can scan in all of your items wirelessly, and it will go directly to the software installed on your tablet or smartphone. This makes it easy to move around with the devices, so that you can make a sale from anywhere.
- WiFi Coffee Maker – Most offices have pretty terrible coffee – don’t let yours be one of them. With a WiFi coffee maker, like the Mr. Coffee from WeMo, everyone in the office can connect to the device with their smartphone, then program it to make their perfect cup of coffee. When the machine is running out of beans, you’ll get a message on your phone reminding you to refill it. Another neat feature is that it can detect when you walk into the building, and send you a message asking if you would like a cup of coffee. How’s that for service?
- Sengled Boost – Lastly, we have a gadget that will brighten up your office, while also boosting WiFi connectivity. These LED lights boost your WiFi signal, improving that spotty connection that most offices face. Now you can be productive no matter where you are in the office, and it will be well lit when you get there as well.
