Smart Lockers & Smart Building Technology
Last week we introduced a conversation between Elisa Rönkä and Mark Miller exploring the new ways to work. We spoke on the intersection of workspace design, technology and culture from the perspective of MetraModo.
This week we would like to add our thoughts on another topic they covered: How smart building technology will play an increasingly important role as workplaces transform, with a shifting focus on both sustainability and improving the “in office” experience for employees.
Sustainability isn’t just about locker material, but also about batteries – see our blog (below) about the amount of batteries needed on a big locker job. Maybe your job isn’t that big, but the impact and hassle of batteries is very real regardless of size.
More and more companies will move towards smart workspace apps over the coming years. Make sure your locker solution can grow with you. You don’t want to have to reinvest in new lockers or worse yet, have a tech enabled workspace that provides seamless experiences for your employees – but with antiquated locker technology. Smart lockers can grow and adapt with you. Even if you don’t have a workspace app today – chances are you will over the next 5-7 years. Same with utilizing mobile credentials – companies will move towards replacing the plastic employee badges with smartphone credentials. Seamlessly use those credentials with your lockers with Metra’s smart locker management system.
