Most of us follow a similar routine 5 days a week: wake up when the sun does, rush to finish a cup of coffee while getting dressed, drive to the office, work until lunch when we run out to grab a quick bite to eat, back to work, drive home and\u00a0cook dinner, a few other chores before a short period of time to relax, then off to bed to wake up and do it all over again the next day. \u00a0There’s nothing wrong with Corporate America or this routine. \u00a0But what most of us don’t realize is just how much of\u00a0our day we spend in the office.\u00a0 Let’s say we’re all working the average 40 hours in a week and getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep each night (it’s a wishful thought). \u00a0Within the 24 hours of a day, we spend 1\/3 of that time sleeping,\u00a0\u00a0another 1\/3 at work, and the last 1\/3 is our “free time”, spent doing incredibly fun activities like commuting, running errands, and doing laundry. \u00a0With so much time spent at work, wouldn’t it make sense for “responsive tech…to become not just luxurious for leisure, but a necessity<\/a>” in the office?<\/p>\n

An article<\/a> published on psfk.com<\/a>\u00a0describes a few technologies that could make the work environment more efficient.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite is the mention of contextually aware lighting. \u00a0Such lights “might know when to turn up the blue tones when a boost of energy is needed, and turn to a warmer tone when it\u2019s almost quitting time.” \u00a0Personal desk lamps could have settings to help with jet-lag and sleepiness for night shifts as well as scents to energize and reduce stress. \u00a0Feeling like I’m working in the sunshine with the invigorating scene of clementines as opposed to a “glorified people-terrarium”? Count me in.<\/p>\n

The next piece of technology is a weight triggered shelf inlay. \u00a0At first it might not seem the most exciting: \u00a0“oh good, the shelf can tell me how much these paperclips weigh.” \u00a0But such an inlay actually has great benefits for keeping supplies in stock. \u00a0The bluetooth-connected scale can sense when refillable items, say printer paper or sticky notes, are running low. \u00a0The inlay could then send a push notification to the office manager, letting them know it’s time to reorder. \u00a0Even better, it could\u00a0reorder additional supplies automatically from a connected retailer. \u00a0Imagine? \u00a0Never running out of sticky notes again.<\/p>\n

The last technology mentioned is the suggested use of RFID tags to keep track of inventory. \u00a0Tagging equipment and stray devices means always knowing where they are, because every time an “item leaves the supply closet, a sensor on the door detects the tag” and automatically begins tracking the item. \u00a0At Radianse<\/strong>, we generally use RFID to help other businesses, like tracking inmates in the corrections industry, equipment and patients in healthcare, and staff and cleanliness in fitness facilities. \u00a0However, we could track assets here in our own office and make sure we always know where everything is. \u00a0Then our Director of Sales, Chris Allen, would never have to run around looking for the Marketing Laptop again.<\/p>\n

Do you think a technologically advanced office space would make you more efficient at work? \u00a0Are you on board for scented sunshine lights and a never ending supply of sticky notes? \u00a0Or do you think your office should stay as it is? \u00a0Let us know what you think by sending an email to\u00a0carolyn.riel@radianse.com\u00a0or calling\u00a0 (603) 994-2200. \u00a0We’d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
