As the Internet of Things (IoT) market gains momentum, a key aspect that has been overlooked is connecting employees who can take action to address the IoT device’s communications or status. For example, if a light bulb communicates that it has burned out, to whom does it send the message? The hourly employee who would change the light bulb does not have a tablet or an email address and is probably disconnected from the IT infrastructure.
To address this problem, Theatro has developed a small (1½ ounce) Wi-Fi-based enterprise wearable used for indoor communications for hourly workers, connecting every employee to one another and to enterprise information systems. This innovative device ensures that important messages from IoT devices are received by the right personnel in real-time, streamlining operations and reducing downtime.
Theatro’s solution transforms the way retail operations function by integrating IoT technology with human actions. With Theatro’s wearable, employees are always connected to the network, receiving alerts and updates directly to their earpiece. This immediate access to information allows for swift responses to any issues, from replenishing stock to addressing customer inquiries, enhancing overall efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Moreover, Theatro’s wearable empowers employees by providing them with instant access to enterprise systems and communication channels. This not only improves task management but also fosters a more collaborative work environment. By bridging the gap between IoT devices and frontline workers, Theatro ensures that every piece of technology within the retail space is utilized to its full potential, ultimately leading to a more seamless and productive operation.
