For example, using their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart devices<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, employees can quickly join meetings from anywhere, while remote teams can use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-based solutions to collaborate with in-office workers in a digital workplace, enabling them to complete projects from various locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, a smart lighting system can help keep employees focused and energized, and smart standing desks can track the number of hours employees spend sitting at their desks working, prompting them to stand at regular intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT can also help with parking, which can be a huge headache and waste of time for employees working in the corporate sector. Smart parking apps can leverage an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT sensor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multiple sensors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to direct employees to empty parking spaces, saving time and eliminating the hassle of searching for a space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Connectivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT security<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> system <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for access control offers employees a convenient, secure way to access their buildings.

For example, a smart lighting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enables facilities managers to program the lights to turn off or dim on sunny days and remain on when cloudy.
