8 Ways IoT Devices Can Improve Your Business Office

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a growing infrastructure of internet-enabled objects ranging from vacuums to light bulbs, all aimed at increasing control, automation and even data collection. IoT can be a huge benefit for a business office when used appropriately. Many offices are already used to internet-connected printers, but a new generation of smart alternatives is hitting the market that allow more than network printing. They monitor their paper and ink and can warn a support person when they're getting low. They can also connect to inventory systems to know how much spare ink or paper they have on hand and can even make orders for more without human involvement.
