Zuerst […]
Five years ago, it was an industry buzzword: the Internet of Things (IoT). Analysts predicted billions of sensors would be connected to the Internet, delivering a tremendous amount of information from everywhere around us. IoT has already become reality, as foreseen by experts. However, it soon expects a spurt in growth through the rapidly increasing […]
Die Digitalisierung macht auch am Büroalltag nicht halt. Flexible Arbeitszeitmodelle, dezentrales Arbeiten, Homeoffice – die weitaus meisten verbinden New Work mit einem neuen Führungsverständnis, radikalem Kulturwandel und innovativen Formen der Arbeitsorganisation, die dem Einzelnen eine größere Freiheit in der Gestaltung seines Arbeitsalltags einräumen. Wie sehr der New Work-Gedanke allerdings auch Aspekte der „klassischen Arbeitswelt“ durchdringt […]
At CES 2019, the EnOcean Alliance and several of its members showed smart applications and interoperable solutions for intelligent buildings and IoT systems – all based on the EnOcean wireless standard. This video gives a snapshot of EnOcean Alliance’s presence at the show.
