The Smart Building has FINALLY arrived

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that less is more. Any task that can be automatic boosts efficiency, productivity, and responsiveness. The whole idea of deploying IoT technology in a building is that it can be connected to the web, which makes it more accessible and adaptable. Essentially, IoT systems future-proof technology investments by ensuring everything can be updated remotely, as soon as it’s needed. IoT-connected building management technology, like access control readers and panels installed at every door, automatically received new software features overnight, adapting the physical security and safety posture of those buildings to the “new normal” almost instantly.

2020 proved that the Smart Building has finally arrived. Companies like Algosense pushed out touchless features like Wave to Unlock, which allowed people to unlock doors without having to touch a keypad or a reader, helping buildings stay germ-free without compromising their security. This is just one example that proves the power of connected buildings. It’s no longer just about disparate IoT devices. In 2021, deploying smart technology that adjusts and responds to the real-time changes happening in the world means your entire building is always prepared and protected, without anyone having to lift a finger (well, maybe they’ll have to wave their hand).
