Technology Integration In Early-Stage Construction
Integrators should be introduced to the architectural and construction team as early as possible to enable a seamless, cost-effective solution. By introducing integrators during the early stages of a new build, the project will run more efficiently, and the integrator can offer valuable feedback on the design as it relates to technology integration. The integrator can also offer value adds — such as insights on CAD drawings, explanations behind the proper location of audio components and acoustical treatments, and details on cabling structure necessary for commonly used video technology. When the architect and integrator collaborate on the design, all parties are helping ensure the space can accommodate the latest technology. Learn more.
The Future Of Workplaces Is Hybrid
For many companies, the future of the workplace is a hybrid model that combines remote work and office time. Microsoft was one of the first to announce its adoption of the hybrid workplace model. “Hybrid” tends to mean more freedom around when and where employees work. A standard procedure for hybrid companies includes designated days for in-office meetings and collaboration, and remote days for individual focus and flexibility. A successful hybrid model should support employee engagement through collaboration and enhanced user experience — meanwhile, supporting well-being while in the office using thermal detection entry points, occupancy monitoring for social distancing and touchless, voice-activated technology.

It can be challenging for education institutions to relocate a traditional classroom outfitted with the latest technology, such as projectors, video conferencing cameras, speakers and microphones, to a new environment (e.g., gymnasiums, cafeterias and outdoor spaces) to promote social distancing. With the adoption of the hybrid model and social distancing guidelines, education institutions are quickly understanding the need for flexible, easy-to-use technology to provide students with valuable in-person and virtual learning experiences. A “mobile education cart” enables education facilities to take the classroom anywhere. Learn more.
