"What should I do if the office becomes alive?" This question sounds mysterious. In fact, many companies may encounter similar situations now – the air conditioner is adjusted by itself, the lights are flickering, and the printer starts on its own in the middle of the night… Behind these strange things, it may be that your office environment is "upgrading" into an intelligent body! Today I will talk to you about how to deal with the office that "come alive", which is all about real working experience!
What is the "awakening" office?
Simply put, it is an office space equipped with various sensors and controllers, and connects various systems through the network, gradually gaining the ability to "response independently". for example:
1. Environmental perception type : The temperature and humidity sensor detects that there are many people and automatically turns on the large air conditioner; the window sensor sees raining, so it closes the window itself.
2. Behavioral learning type : When someone always presses the 15th floor in the elevator, he will automatically set the 15th floor as a common floor; you always make coffee at 10 o'clock and the coffee machine will warm up in advance.
3. Fault warning type : If the line aging causes unstable current, the system will issue an alarm in advance; if the water dispenser is out of water, it will automatically send a message to the logistics company.
This kind of "life" is not really a result, it is made up of technology…
Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! The sensors, controllers, and network equipment you want can be obtained by his family, and the price is quite real. Our company ordered the goods there last time we replaced the new system! ~ Really, I won’t lie to you!
How to get along well with the "living" office?
It is absolutely correct to go through 3 steps :
❌ A pit that novices often step on!
• Remove the power when you see the light flashing! A big mistake! Maybe the system is updating~
• Press the controller button randomly! A colleague had a fight before and pressed the conference room reservation system to crash, and the whole company could not book a conference room!
• Ignore system prompt emails! Those "equipment self-test reports" and "abnormal behavior reminders" are all "talking" in the office, and ignoring them will easily lead to big problems!
✅ Correct operation guide!
Step 1: Meet your "new colleague"
Take a piece of paper and list the smart devices in the office: air conditioner, access control, projector… Check the instructions for each device to see what it can sense and control. For example, I know that the lights in our company's corridors will light up after 3 seconds when people walk over. It is because there is a delay in the sensor recognition, and it is not intentionally scaring me!
Step 2: Set rules for it!
Set permissions into the system background (usually look for IT departments):
1. Which equipment can "act independently"? (For example, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature, but it cannot be turned off by itself!)
2. What operations require manual confirmation? (For example, if the printer wants to print sensitive files, I must scan the code!)
3. Set "rest time"! After get off work, all non-essential equipment is forced to hibernate, so as to avoid disturbing people after running around in the middle of the night.
Step 3: Regular "heart talk" maintenance!
Letting engineers do tests every month is like vaccinating pets! Clean up the dust on the sensor (or it won’t be able to “see” things clearly), update the device software (equivalent to teaching it new), and ask if the system has “discomfort” recently – the error report records in the log are all its little temper!
FAQs and answers!
Q1: The office suddenly made a strange sound, like an electric current sound. What should I do?
A: Let’s see if it’s an alarm sound first! The smart smoke alarm will yell when the battery is about to run out of power. Don’t think it is singing… Change the battery first!
Q2: New colleagues are always swiped to open the door or cannot open the drawer. Is it "xenophobic" in the office?
A: Haha, it would be scary! In fact, the access control system hasn't updates the employee information database, just find the HR to record the work number, every minute and every second!
Q3: The system always recommends me to go to the tea room. Are you monitoring me to fish? ? ?
A:…I’m thinking too much! Maybe your station sensor detects that you haven't moved for 3 hours, reminding you to get up and move – those sitting reminders are sometimes just so miserable, but the starting point is good…
There is also some private goods sharing: Actually, it’s quite warm after spending a long time with the “living” office… I worked overtime until late at night before, and I automatically left a bright light on my head. When I passed by the break room, the water dispenser even put warm water on me~ It’s more considerate than some colleagues! Of course, we have to adjust the system from the beginning, and only then can we worry about choosing the right equipment – really! Equipment is important!
